Nexus documentation

Your world. Live in Discord.

Nexus is a Discord-native AI Game Master with persistent campaign state and a web control panel for server owners.

Player

Join the active Discord channel and play through messages.

Show path
  1. 01Open the channel where the Game Master started a session.
  2. 02Send an in-character message to take your turn.
  3. 03Start an out-of-roleplay message with `(` so Nexus ignores it as story input.
Game Master

Start and direct the AI GM from Discord.

Show path
  1. 01Use `/gamemaster_start` with a character, location, scenario, difficulty, and mode.
  2. 02Let player messages drive turns, then use the control commands when you need to steer.
  3. 03Use `/gamemaster_stop` when the scene is complete.
Server owner

Configure the server and shape the persistent campaign.

Show path
  1. 01Sign in with Discord; the dashboard lists servers where you have Manage Server or Administrator.
  2. 02Choose channels and control roles in Settings, then build canon in Lore and intent in Studio.
  3. 03Use Control, News, Analytics, and Billing to operate the server over time.
First scene

Four steps to launch

Install the bot, choose who can direct it, start a scene, and play in the channel.

01

Invite Nexus with application commands.

02

Configure the GM control role in onboarding or Settings.

03

Run `/gamemaster_start` in a channel the bot can access.

04

Send player turns in the active channel.

/gamemaster_start character: Mara, a disgraced ranger location: flooded lower district scenario: find the missing courier difficulty: medium multiplayer: false

`difficulty` accepts easy, medium, hard, extreme, impossible, or realistic. `multiplayer` defaults to false.

What persists

Transcripts, summaries, AI turns, scene changes, bookmarks, lore, timeline events, Studio records, personas, and owner interventions stay attached to the campaign.

What shapes the GM

Canon lore, active arcs and quests, approved player characters, personas, timeline events, server prompts, and safety settings are compiled into GM context.
