llmcord lets you (and your friends) chat with LLMs directly in Discord. It works with practically any LLM, remote or locally hosted.
Just @ the bot to start a conversation and reply to continue. Build conversations with reply chains!
You can do things like:
- Continue your own conversation or someone else's
- "Rewind" a conversation by simply replying to an older message
- @ the bot while replying to any message in your server to ask a question about it
Additionally:
- Back-to-back messages from the same user are automatically chained together. Just reply to the latest one and the bot will see all of them.
- You can seamlessly move any conversation into a thread. Just create a thread from any message and @ the bot inside to continue.
llmcord supports remote models from:
Or run a local model with:
Or use any other OpenAI compatible API server.
- Supports image attachments when using a vision model (like gpt-4o, claude-3, llava, etc.)
- Supports text file attachments (.txt, .py, .c, etc.)
- Customizable personality (aka system prompt)
- DM for private access (no @ required)
- User identity aware (OpenAI API and xAI API only)
- Streamed responses (turns green when complete, automatically splits into separate messages when too long)
- Hot-reloadable config (you can change settings without restarting the bot)
- Displays helpful warnings when appropriate (like "
⚠️ Only using last 25 messages" when the customizable message limit is exceeded) - Caches message data in a size-managed (no memory leaks) and mutex-protected (no race conditions) global dictionary to maximize efficiency and minimize Discord API calls
- Fully asynchronous
- 1 Python file, ~200 lines of code

python -m pip install -U discord.py httpx openai pyyaml python llmcord.py
With Docker:
docker compose up

Only models from OpenAI API and xAI API are "user identity aware" because only they support the "name" parameter in the message object. Hopefully more providers support this in the future.
