# 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`

## Step 3

* To unlock more messages per day, you'll need to enter an OpenAI key and pay for each message the bot replies to. On average a Discord sending 100s of messages a day costs < 2 cents per day
* Get your OpenAI key from - [https://platform.openai.com](https://platform.openai.com/)
* More directions for this are in [creating-an-openai-account](https://aidocs.soldecoder.app/product-guides/creating-an-openai-account "mention")
