What it does

Watches a Discord support channel for developer questions, searches your ReadMe documentation for the relevant pages, and posts a grounded answer in the same thread with a citation link back to the exact doc. If nothing in the docs covers the question, it says so honestly instead of guessing.

When to use it

Run this when your developer community asks the same API and SDK questions repeatedly and your team is hand-answering them. It deflects routine questions while keeping every answer traceable to official docs.

How it works

  1. 1A new message in the watched Discord channel triggers the run.
  2. 2A filter drops messages that are commands, bot posts, or too short to be a real question.
  3. 3The flow searches ReadMe for pages matching the question text.
  4. 4An LLM step composes an answer strictly from the retrieved doc excerpts, refusing to answer if coverage is weak.
  5. 5The bot replies in the Discord thread with the answer and a link to the source page.
