How it Works

Here’s a simple rundown of the integration process:

  1. Build a custom GPT using OpenAI GPTs. We assume you’ve already built one.
  2. Make sure that you’ve converted the custom GPT to an OpenAI Assistant, so that Discord can send API requests to it. We’ve created a handy bookmarklet that will do this for you: read on to learn more. If you would rather do it manually, you can follow the OpenAI GPTs Integration Guide.
  3. Connect the OpenAI Assistant to Discord with Runbear!

Follow the guide below to connect your custom GPTs to Discord and increase your team’s productivity.
