Fix Your AI-Built Discord Bot Integration
Discord's API for building bots and application commands. AI tools use deprecated gateway intents, skip interaction verification, and mishandle slash commands.
Common Discord Bot issues we find
Problems specific to AI-generated Discord Bot integrations.
Privileged gateway intents not enabled
AI-generated bots request message content or presence intents without enabling them in the Discord Developer Portal, causing the bot to silently miss events.
Interaction endpoint signature verification missing
Generated HTTP interaction endpoints don't verify Ed25519 signatures from Discord, which Discord requires and will disable your bot for failing to implement.
Slash commands not registered or registered incorrectly
AI tools write command handlers but skip the API call to register commands with Discord, or register them globally (taking up to an hour to propagate) instead of per-guild for testing.
Using deprecated message-based commands
Generated code uses the deprecated message content prefix commands (e.g., !help) instead of slash commands, which require the privileged message content intent and provide a worse user experience.
Rate limiting not handled gracefully
AI tools fire API calls without respecting rate limits or reading rate limit headers, causing the bot to get temporarily banned and miss important events.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my Discord bot not receiving message events?
Since September 2022, bots need the privileged Message Content intent enabled in the Developer Portal AND in your code's intent flags to receive message content. AI tools often request the intent in code but don't mention the portal setting, or vice versa.
How do I properly set up slash commands in my AI-generated bot?
AI tools write command handlers but skip registration. You need to make a PUT request to Discord's API to register commands -- use guild commands for development (instant) and global commands for production. We also fix command option types and permissions.
Why is Discord disabling my bot's interaction endpoint?
Discord sends verification challenges to HTTP interaction endpoints and requires Ed25519 signature verification on every request. If your endpoint doesn't verify signatures correctly, Discord will disable it. AI tools commonly skip this mandatory security step.
