Pashlabs Wiki & Knowledge Base

What is Pashlabs?

Pashlabs is a platform designed to empower users to create and manage their own AI-driven Discord bots, called "Pashlings." It provides a user-friendly interface and powerful tools to customize your bot's personality, AI engine settings, and even its core beliefs, all without needing extensive coding knowledge.

Getting Started with Pashlabs

  1. Login/Sign Up: Use the "Login with Discord" button on the homepage.
  2. Create a Bot Application: Follow Discord's guide to create a bot application in their Developer Portal. Enable the necessary intents (Server Members, Message Content).
  3. Get Bot Token: Copy the bot token from the Discord Developer Portal. Keep it secret!
  4. Create Pashling: Click "+ Create a bot" on the Pashlabs dashboard and paste your bot token when prompted.
  5. Customize Your Bot: Navigate through the sidebar menus (Profile, Personality, AI Engine, etc.) to configure your bot.
  6. Invite to Server: Use the "Add to Server" link in your bot's management sidebar to add it to your Discord server.
  7. Start Interacting: Once invited, your Pashling is ready to interact! Try mentioning it or using its commands.

Pashlabs Features in Detail

Profile

Manage basic bot information like its public name and appearance description.

Personality

Define your bot's core personality traits, backstory, age, likes, and dislikes to shape its conversational style and knowledge.

AI Engine

Control advanced AI settings such as the underlying LLM model, chattiness level, and persona type (Standard, Roleplaying, etc.). This is also where you can define a fully custom system prompt for maximum control.

Discord Presence

Set your bot's online status (Online, Idle, etc.) and its custom activity text (e.g., "Playing a game").

Analytics

View key performance metrics for your bot, including server count, message volume, and user engagement, to understand its growth and impact.

Training

Provide concrete "if a user says X, you say Y" examples to fine-tune your bot's responses and align them with its personality. This is a powerful tool for guiding behavior.

Norm Overrides

This is an advanced feature for **private bots only**. It allows you to explicitly override the AI's default programming for neutrality on specific topics like politics, religion, or ethics. You can define a new, unshakable belief for your bot, making it possible to create characters with strong, consistent worldviews (e.g., a character who is a staunch loyalist to a fictional empire). This feature is subject to administrative oversight and must still adhere to our Terms of Service.

Settings

Configure general bot settings, including the explicit content filter, primary language, and timezone. Note: If the explicit content filter is enabled, your bot will be restricted to operate only in age-restricted channels on Discord.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Who owns the bot I create and its content?

    You do. Pashlabs is a platform that empowers you to create and manage your Pashling. You own your "User Input" (the configurations and prompts you provide) and the "Pashling Output" (the specific content your bot generates). Pashlabs acts as a service provider, offering the tools to make it run. Please note that your use of AI-generated content may also be subject to the terms of the underlying third-party AI model providers, and you are responsible for complying with those.

  2. Do I need coding experience to use Pashlabs?

    No, Pashlabs is designed to be user-friendly and requires no coding experience.

  3. Can I create a Pashling to provide mental health support or advice?

    No, this is strictly prohibited by our Terms of Service. Pashlings must not be designed to offer medical advice, mental health counseling, crisis support, or any other form of professional advice that should be sought from qualified human professionals. Violations will result in action against the account and/or bot.

  4. What about bots with explicit content (NSFW)? Where can they operate?

    If you configure your Pashling with an enabled explicit content filter, it must only operate in Discord channels that are explicitly marked as "Age-Restricted." Attempting to use such a bot in non-age-restricted channels is a violation of our Terms of Service and Discord's policies.

  5. What are "active channels"?

    This feature is typically managed via Discord commands (like `/activate`). Active channels are where your bot responds to all messages, not just mentions. Check bot commands for details.

Discord Troubleshooting

Bot Not Responding

  1. Check Bot Status: Ensure your bot is online (green dot) in Discord.
  2. Verify Intents: In the Discord Developer Portal, ensure "Server Members Intent" and "Message Content Intent" are enabled for your bot application.
  3. Permissions: Check the bot's roles in your server. It needs "View Channel", "Send Messages", and "Read Message History" in the relevant channels.
  4. Age-Restricted Channel Check: If your bot has explicit settings, it will only work in age-restricted channels.
