Why we need bot in discord

A Discord bot is a bot that can only be used and run on Discord. According to the website Probot, it can provide you with more functionality than a normal user would have, and the best part – you can code your very own bot and make it do whatever you want. A discord bot can be:

1. A Chat Bot – a bot that tries to chat and behave like a human.

2. A Moderation Bot – which can automatically moderate your server. You can ban, mute, or kick users if someone is spamming or doing something that is forbidden by the channel rules.

3. A Music Bot – which can play music on a Discord server from YouTube or another place.

Let's start!!!

For better understanding refer the discord.py docs.

• Go to Discord Developer Portal

• Click on New Applications then set the name of your bot

• On far left click on bot

• Click on add bot then yes do it

• Now go in your project folder

• Create a file named main.py
  
  Enter these lines

  import discord
  
  client = discord.Client()
  
  @client.event
  async def on_ready():
     print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
  
  @client.event
  async def on_message(message):
     if message.author == client.user:
         return
  
     if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
         await message.channel.send('Hello!')
  
  client.run('paste_your_token_here')
