# Discord Bot Setup (Free)

## Step 1

* Go to <https://apps.soldecoder.app/bots> to invite the bot to your server
* Once it is invited, add the bot to your chat channel you want to speak to it in. Give it view and send messages permission
* By default each person will get 15 free messages per day (more if they are a SOL Decoder holder). Follow the below steps if you want your users to get more messages per day

## Step 2&#x20;

* In your Discord, run `/ai_setup`

* Get your OpenAI key from - [https://platform.openai.com](https://platform.openai.com/)
