Add Volvox.Bot to your server

Go to volvox.bot and select Add to Server. The landing-page button starts the Discord invite flow, lets you select a server, and returns you to a setup wizard after approval.

The bot requests only the permissions it needs. Review them and approve.

Run the setup wizard

The Add to Server flow opens a skippable, page-based setup wizard. Focused sections cover welcome messages, content safety, protected roles, warning rules, tickets, reputation, Starboard, command prefix, TL;DR summaries, dashboard roles, and AI provider/model selection. Setup starts with a server selection page that uses the same workspace selector as the dashboard.

Select the server first, then start setup. The wizard locks that server while you work so channel and role selectors stay scoped to the right Discord server. To configure a different server, use Back to server selection, select the server, and start again.

Turn off any section you don’t need, and jump to any step from the wizard step list. Fill in the required choices for the sections you keep on, then save the checklist. The AI provider/model selection applies to AI chat, triage, content safety, and TL;DR routing together.

If no AI provider credentials are available yet, the wizard still saves the non-AI defaults. You can add provider credentials later and finish the AI pieces from the dashboard.

Open the dashboard

If you come back later, go to volvox.bot, select Login with Discord, and authorize the OAuth2 connection.

Once logged in, the dashboard opens a server picker when Volvox.Bot isn’t yet installed in one of your manageable servers. Server cards show Manage when the bot is already present and Add Bot when it still needs to be invited.

The dashboard Add Bot flow returns you to the setup wizard after Discord approval. Use Refresh server list if Discord hasn’t caught up after an invite.
