# Discord

Merlin is a Discord bot. Message it directly, or add it to a server so everyone there can use it.

## Linking

Sign in to Merlin with Discord, or choose **Connect Discord** in Discord's dialog on Home. You can link one Discord account.

## Adding Merlin to a server

Choose **Add to a server** in Discord's dialog on Home and pick a server you manage. You become the owner, so what people ask for there counts against your plan.

## Talking to Merlin

Merlin answers every direct message. In a server, it answers when someone mentions it, says its name or replies to it. Each thread is a separate chat with its own history and memory.

## What Merlin can do with Discord

- Read and save every message in the chats it is in
- See images, read attachments and transcribe voice notes
- Search the chat's history, including what's inside files
- Send files, reply to a specific message and react
- Remember what the chat's owner and trusted people ask it to
- Post reminders and alerts in the chat
- Answer in threads, each thread a chat of its own

## What Merlin can't do with Discord

- Post in any chat other than the one it was asked in
- Edit or delete other people's messages
- Kick, ban, mute or otherwise moderate members
- Make or join calls, or send voice notes

## Removing Merlin

Remove Merlin from a chat in its settings on Home, or remove the bot from your server in Discord. Unlinking Discord on Home deletes everything kept from your Discord account.
