Discord is currently one of the most popular online services for chat and instant messaging, voice and video conferencing. Discord was originally intended purely for the gaming community and was a serious competitor to Teamspeak. In the meantime, however, the platform is also used for and by all sorts of other communities, e.g. B. for virtual book clubs or fanfiction communities. In companies, too, it has become an alternative to messaging services such as Slack and Microsoft Teams or video conferencing software such as Zoom, Skype and Google Meet. To improve your experience on Discord, you can install all kinds of bots and customize your server with them. What exactly Discord Bots are, how to install them and which are the 15 best, you will find out if you read on!

What are Discord Bots?
Discord Bots are automated programs that can perform any number of functions: send notifications, play music, retrieve data, schedule events. A single bot usually only fulfills one task. But don't worry: you can't just add one bot to your server, you can add several at the same time.
The bots customize your server to better suit your needs and strengthen and entertain your community. It shouldn't be boring!
By the way, most Discord bots are free.
Where can you find Discord Bots?
You can do this via a Google search or alternatively directly via one of two websites that are specifically designed for uploading and downloading the mini-programs:
If you know how to code, you can also program the bot of your dreams yourself - for example with Python3. In the video you will learn how to do it. Alternatively, you can also hire professionals to create your Discord Bots. You will quickly find what you are looking for on freelancer platforms such as Fiverr.

A bot is actually always provided with a button that says either Invite, add to Discord or Install that you can simply click on. Then you log into Discord, open the appropriate channel and authorize the bot. Tada!
Here again as a quick guide.

These are the 15 best Discord bots
Since anyone can theoretically program a bot for Discord and offer it on the Internet, the choice is damn large. Some bots are useful, others are more for entertainment. So that you don't have to click through the offer for hours, we have put together our top 15 for you.
1. MEE6 Discord Bot
The MEE6 is not only our own favorite, but is also considered by many others to be the clear leader. you can with it
That's a heck of a lot of features for a bot - and it's free!
2. Pokétwo Bot
Discord + Pokémon = great love
Be honest: most of you probably grew up with Pokémon. You may even have caught up with the Pokemon Go trend, or still buy every new game that's released (although the first 150 Pokemon were of course the best, and it just kept going downhill after the third generation). If we're on that then you're going to love the Discord Bot Pokétwo.
With the bot, Pokémon spawn completely randomly on your server. You have to catch them quickly. As it should be, you can not only catch and collect the pocket monsters, but also swap them with other users and even fight against each other. If you're not convinced yet (which is really unlikely), here's one last argument: there are even shinys.
3. Discord Translator
Discord is for connecting people globally who share an interest. There can be language barriers that the Discord Translator Bot tries to bridge. It supports over 100 languages, can be customized and translates direct messages or even entire channels - even fully automatically if required.
Of course, translation tools are not error-free and the Discord Translator can also deliver an unclean translation here and there. Better than always having the Google Translator at the same time or not being able to exchange ideas at all, it is worlds.
Exceptionally, this bot costs money in the full version, but there is a free trial version.
4. Sesh Discord Bot
Sesh is a calendar bot for Discord, or by its own admission "the best" calendar bot for Discord. You can use it to set up reminders and RSVPs, view appointments in your regional time zone, or even add them to your calendar app. You can even use it to set up surveys to determine the perfect date for an event together.
The paid version has even more features, such as B. recurring events/appointments, individual login options, role-based authorizations and the possibility to link RSVPs and voting rights to roles.
5. ProBot
ProBot is a so-called multi-purpose bot that is customizable and has five core functions:
Auto moderation is especially useful. With it you can set whether the use of obscene, insulting or discriminatory words should automatically give hints and the person who has become conspicuous should be warned or even referred to the channel/server. You can set the logic behind it and the trigger words yourself.
ProBot also has a somewhat "friendlier" function: you can set it up so that every new user is greeted with a personalized welcome picture on the server. The picture can take the avatar and user name and you can provide color information and text.
6. Thanks Memer
You're here, so you're probably OMR fans (more or less), ergo you're probably avid meme users just like us. And what better way to build and entertain a community than memes? Right, nothing!
Dank Memer has a hell of a lot of commands that you can use to do all sorts of practical jokes or cheer yourself up with cute or funny animals. Here are a few commands and the description of what Dank Memer says they trigger:
7. StatBot
StatBot is actually one of the "useful" bots again. This allows you to display the development of your server in detail in diagrams. The bot can count almost everything: the number of users, how many users are still missing at a certain value, how many messages have been written in the seven days. You can also display the time and the most active people and channels.
Many bots can assign roles, but StatBots can also revoke roles on top of that. Namely when a person is no longer as active or others have simply become more involved.
8. Rythm Discord Bot
With Rythm you can make sure that an entire channel is listening to the same music at the same time. You can either listen to individual songs, entire albums or even individually compiled playlists. For those who want to sing along at home, you can even display the lyrics.
Depending on the authorization, users (or just you) can pause, skip or add new songs in the Rhythm Channel. The bot supports Twitch, YouTube and Soundcloud - and with a few adjustments even Spotify.
In contrast to other music bots, Rythm is optimized for low latency so that the stream has no delays. Theoretically, karaoke sessions are also possible with it!
9. TriviaBot
Turn your server into a pub and start a pub quiz with the TriviaBot! The bot automatically generates questions that must then be answered as quickly as possible. To keep it exciting, the program includes many useful features:
10. GiveawayBot
Do you like being the winners of giveaways? We definitely are! And especially in the gaming world, small giveaways are often held parallel to the stream. But keep track of who qualifies to take part and ultimately determine who wins? Ain't nobody got time for that!
This is where the GiveawayBot comes into play. With a few simple commands, giveaways can be created, started and ended, winners can be automatically determined and all ongoing giveaways can be displayed. This Discord bot is limited to a specific functionality, but it does it flawlessly.
11. Guilded Discord Bot
Guilded is for the old school gamers among you. You can insert the bot into Discord to recruit new players for specific games, improve your skills and complete missions together. Thanks to Guilded, you can manage and display the activities of your teams. They sync in real time and are accessible to everyone.
Guilded supports World of Warcraft, Counter Strike: GO, League of Legends, PUBG, Destiny, Dota 2, Minecraft, Heroes of the Storm, Call of Duty, Warzone, and Final Fantasy XIV games - basically anything you for a good LAN party (only Unreal Tournament 2004 is missing).
12. newsfilter.io Stock Market News Bot
If you happen to be interested in the stock market or if your server deals with it in the broadest sense, the newsfilter.io Stock Market News Bot is of interest to you. This allows you to have news from the stock world posted to your channels on demand or automatically.
The news can be transferred to your Discord servers in real time and are fed from relevant news sources such as Bloomberg, Reuters and CNBC. In terms of content, news from the areas of analyst ratings and earnings reports, press releases, FDA drug approvals and insider transactions are played out.
13. RuneInfo
RuneScape is a popular MMORPG that can actually be played directly in Discord using the RuneInfo bot. The developers have ported the entire game and made it accessible to everyone with intuitive commands.
There are a whopping 113 of these commands - that's a lot of commands in the world of Discord Bots. You can use it to play Old School RuneScape, but also RuneScape 3.
14. Tatsumaki Bot
The Tatsumaki Bot is all about gamification, so that the community on your Discord server becomes or stays really active. The bot installs a game with retro 8-bit graphics, with which you can level up, keep virtual pets and build and set up a home. Profiles, ranking lists and virtual wallets increase the addiction factor.
Our favorite feature of the Tatsumaki Bot is actually the pets - or more correctly, Tatsugotchis (remember Tamagotchis?!), of which there are over 100 different ones and you can even customize them with accessories. If that doesn't encourage you to laze around on a Discord server for hours, then we don't know what else.
15. Helper Discord Bot
With the Bot Helper you can integrate a ticketing system into Discord. If your members have problems or questions, open tickets, which you can then gradually work through. It's less worthwhile if you run a server just for fun. However, if there is an entire business behind your endeavors and customer service is an issue for you anyway, Helper will do the work for you.
The bot is particularly worthwhile if your community actually spends a lot of time on Discord and makes inquiries and complaints about it. Instead of then referring them to an external ticketing tool, you can provide an extra service by allowing everything to be handled directly in Discord.
