Summarize the latest 200 messages of each channel I follow in the server name Discord server: what was decided, what is still open, and what mentions me, with a link to each source message.
To get an AI summary of a Discord channel when you cannot add a bot, let your own AI agent read the channels as you: it reads the latest messages of each channel you follow and writes what was decided, what is still open and what mentions you, with a link to each message. This page is for members of busy servers (open-source projects, communities, customer and partner servers) who come back to hundreds of unread messages, and for anyone comparing summary bots before adding one.

Summarizes one channel or the whole server with /summarize, answers questions about the history with /ask, and can post scheduled recaps. Each point links back to its message.
A general bot whose /summary reads the last 10 to 500 messages of a channel, sends them to OpenAI, and posts a few sentences in the channel for everyone.
Recaps a channel by message count, date range, between two message IDs, or since you last spoke, written by Google Gemini, and rounds up where you were pinged.
Your AI agent reads the server from your own signed-in Chrome, channel by channel, and writes the summary you ask for in your chat. Nothing is added to the server and nothing is posted. It reads one channel per script run, so a summary of a large server takes longer than a bot that already has the server's history.
