What it does

This agent handles the highest-volume, most repetitive moment in any community: onboarding. When someone joins, it DMs them a tailored welcome and quietly becomes their personal setup assistant, answering getting-started questions from your Notion docs in a private conversation so the public channels stay clean.

When to use it

Use this for servers with a steady stream of new members who all ask the same first-day questions (install, account linking, where-do-I-start). Keeps the welcome warm and human-feeling while deflecting the FAQ load.

How it works

  1. 1A new-member join event triggers the agent.
  2. 2It sends a personalized welcome DM with the member's name and the top getting-started links.
  3. 3As the member replies in DM, the agent answers each question from the pinned Notion onboarding docs.
  4. 4A confidence check runs on every reply.
  5. 5If a question falls outside the docs, the agent opens a private mod thread and tags the moderator team to step in, then lets the member know help is coming.
