Spin up a game server. Just ask.

Yes, today. The Overwatch tools, custom lists, and all the slash commands are free. AI features (talking to the bot in plain English instead of using slash commands) may eventually require a paid plan to cover AI usage costs. For now those are managed manually by the bot owner.

The bot asks for ten permissions, and each backs a specific feature: Manage Messages and Manage Webhooks for Twitter/X link embedding (the bot replaces the original message with an embed-friendly link, posted as the original author), Create Public Threads, Manage Threads and Send Messages in Threads for the confirmation flow, Embed Links and Attach Files for replies, and View Channels, Send Messages and Read Message History for the basics. The bot does not request Administrator, or permissions to kick, ban or manage members.

When you @-mention the bot, your message goes to our AI, which picks the right tool and runs it. The AI never decides permissions. Those are enforced at the tool layer, so it cannot perform an action your role does not allow. Destructive actions (stopping or deleting a server, etc.) always require explicit confirmation in a thread.

The bot runs on managed, self-healing cloud infrastructure. If a node fails, a replacement comes up automatically in a couple of minutes and reconnects. Status updates go to the support guild when there is anything operationally noteworthy.
