Prowl AI Features: Chat, Image Generation & Summaries

Prowl’s AI feature brings GPT-powered chat, image generation, and thread summarization to your Discord server — configurable per channel.

Prowl’s AI feature brings a capable, context-aware assistant directly into your Discord server. Powered by configurable GPT models, it can hold conversations and generate images from text prompts — all without leaving Discord.

AI features are enabled by default. Server admins can configure the model, system prompt, and other settings from the dashboard.

AI Chat

You can have a full conversation with Prowl’s AI in any channel where AI is enabled.

/ai chat <prompt>

Prowl maintains short-term context within a conversation, storing the last 20 messages per user per server. You can ask follow-up questions without repeating yourself.

/ai chat Explain the difference between roles and permissions in Discord.
> [Prowl responds]
/ai chat Can you give me an example using a moderator role?
> [Prowl responds with context from the previous answer]

To clear your conversation history and start fresh:

/ai clear

AI chat context resets when the bot restarts or when significant time passes between messages.

Image Generation

Prowl can generate original images from a plain-English description using the /ai imagine command.

/ai imagine <prompt>

Example prompts:

/ai imagine a neon-lit cyberpunk city at midnight, rain-slicked streets, ultra-detailed
/ai imagine a cozy medieval library with floating candles and stacked bookshelves, warm tones
/ai imagine the Prowl logo as a stained glass window

Prowl will process your prompt and post the generated image directly in the channel. Generation uses DALL-E and typically takes a few seconds.

More descriptive prompts produce better results. Include details like style (“oil painting”, “pixel art”, “photorealistic”), lighting, mood, and subject matter.

AI Configuration

Server admins can configure AI settings from the dashboard or via slash commands.

Command	Description	Permission
/ai config	View the current AI configuration	Manage Server
/ai model <model>	Set the AI model	Manage Server
/ai prompt <prompt>	Set the system prompt that shapes AI behavior	Manage Server

Available Models

Model	Description
gpt-3.5-turbo	Fast and cost-effective (default)
gpt-4	More capable, slower
gpt-4-turbo	Improved GPT-4 with larger context
gpt-4o	Latest multimodal model
gpt-4o-mini	Lightweight GPT-4o variant

System Prompt

You can set a custom system prompt to shape how the AI behaves in your server. The default is:

You are a helpful Discord bot named Prowl. Be concise and friendly.

Change it to fit your community — for example: "You are a friendly assistant for a gaming community. Keep responses appropriate for all ages."

API Key

Prowl resolves API keys in this order:

1. Per-guild key set in the dashboard
2. Global key stored in the bot’s database
3. Environment variable (OPENAI_API_KEY or equivalent)

When using the bot owner’s API key, rate limits apply: a 5-second global cooldown and a 60-second per-user cooldown. Guilds with their own API key are not rate-limited.

AI-generated content is not infallible. Always review the AI’s outputs in sensitive contexts and encourage your members to treat AI responses as helpful suggestions, not authoritative facts.
