How do I use TomoriBot?
This guide takes you from scratch to your first message with TomoriBot. Easiest path is to invite the ready public instance (see the Privacy Policy). If you’d rather run your own instance, jump to Self-hosting at the bottom.
Use the Hosted Bot
Step 1: Invite her
Invite the public instance with the button below, then pick the server you want her in. You need the Manage Server permission to add a bot.
You can also DM her directly. The setup steps are the same.
Step 2: Get an API key
TomoriBot doesn’t ship with an AI brain of its own; you connect one from a provider through an API key. She supports many providers, and you only need one to get started. The following are some providers she currently supports:
- Google Gemini: general-purpose, has a free tier, runs every feature. Recommended for your first setup.
- OpenRouter: one key, access to all of the latest text, video, image, embedding models.
- NovelAI: subscription-based, uncensored images, roleplay, and storytelling.
- DeepSeek, NVIDIA NIM, Anthropic, Vertex AI, Z.ai, or any OpenAI-compatible Custom endpoint.
Run /help api-key in Discord and pick your provider to see how to get their API key, or
see Providers & Models for the full list.
Step 3: Run Setup
Run /config setup and paste in your API key. This encrypts the key, initializes her
configuration for the server, and gets her ready to talk. Each server keeps its own
independent configuration.
Recommended: run /server expressions initialize afterward so she can use your
server’s custom emojis and stickers accurately.
Step 4: Start chatting
Just mention her or reply to one of her messages:
@TomoriBot yo, what's up?From here you can shape how she gets triggered and how she behaves:
- Give her a personality with
/persona: see Multiple Personas. - Teach her with
/memory: see Memory. - Explore other customization options: see Command Reference or Features
Setting up TomoriBot means you and your server members agree to her /legal terms and
/legal privacy notices.
