# JoBot: AI-powered Discord bot for music and chat

> JoBot brings Claude AI conversations, YouTube and Subsonic music streaming, and ElevenLabs text-to-speech into your self-hosted Discord bot.

JoBot is a self-hosted Discord bot that combines conversational AI powered by Claude, music playback from YouTube and your personal Subsonic library, and ElevenLabs text-to-speech — all configurable per server using Discord slash commands.

## How JoBot works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Deploy with Docker">
    Run JoBot alongside a Lavalink container using a single `docker-compose.yml`. Provide your Discord bot token, Anthropic API key, and optional music credentials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your bot to a server">
    Add your registered Discord application to any guild. JoBot registers its slash commands automatically on startup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mention or reply to start chatting">
    Tag JoBot in any channel (`@JoBot ...`) or reply to one of its messages. The AI responds with Claude-powered answers, music actions, or voice output.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customize per server">
    Use `/settings set prompt`, `/settings set temperature`, and other slash commands to tailor JoBot's personality and behavior to your community.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  JoBot is self-hosted. You control your own data, credentials, and AI model configuration. No data is sent to any third-party service other than the APIs you configure (Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Subsonic).
