Panda, summarize the launch thread and turn the open questions into action items.
Open-source Discord intelligence
Your server,
with a better brain.
Panda brings the LLM you choose through OpenRouter into Discord—grounded in your community, governed by your roles, and private by design.
The launch is on track. Three decisions still need owners:
- Finalize onboarding copyOwner needed · #launch
- Confirm fallback model limitsAssigned to Maya · #infra
- Schedule moderator walkthroughDue Friday · #community

Built for real communities
One assistant.
Every kind of work.
Panda is more than a chat box. It understands Discord context, works inside threads, uses only approved tools, and keeps admins in control.
01
Discord-native context
Ask in a channel, reply to a message, or keep a long conversation inside a thread. Panda meets your community where it already works.
02
Reliable model routing
Set a primary model and an ordered fallback list, with retries and a circuit breaker when providers have a bad day.
03
Knowledge that belongs to you
Add server knowledge deliberately, search it locally, and enrich it with embeddings only when you choose to.
04
Tools with guardrails
Server-wide policies set the ceiling. Role permissions narrow access further. Sensitive or destructive actions require a reviewed confirmation.
OpenRouter at the core
Pick the mind
behind Panda.
Use automatic routing or choose the model that fits your server. Change the primary model, temperature, response length, and fallbacks without rebuilding the bot.

The whole flow
From mention to useful answer.
Ask naturally
Say “Panda” in a normal message or use a context menu when you want a focused summary or explanation.
Gather approved context
Panda resolves permissions, fetches only allowed context, and runs tools within your server’s policy.

The control plane
lives in Discord.
Admins configure Panda where the team already is. Delegate access to a custom role, define channel rules, inspect usage, and audit sensitive changes without maintaining another web app.
01
Role-aware permissions resolve from owner to channel policy.
02
Auditable configuration and sensitive context reads leave a trail.
03
Operational health, metrics, queues, and degraded mode are built in.
Privacy from first principles
Memory should be invited,
not assumed.
Panda defaults to minimal retention. Server knowledge is opt-in, user memory requires separate consent, and raw Discord content is treated as untrusted context.
