Overview

Daia transforms your Discord server into an intelligent conversational space. Whether you need quick answers, data visualization, or just a friendly chat, Daia leverages the power of Google’s Gemini AI to provide natural, context-aware responses.

Built on the PocketFlow framework, Daia is designed to be extensible, maintainable, and easy to deploy.

Key Features

🤖 AI-Powered Conversations

Leverages Google Gemini for natural language understanding and generation. Daia can engage in meaningful conversations, answer questions, and provide helpful information across a wide range of topics.

👤 User Recognition

Recognizes and addresses users by their Discord display name for a personalized experience. Enable this feature with ENABLE_CONTEXTUAL_SYSTEM_PROMPT=on in your configuration.

📊 Markdown Table Rendering

Automatically converts markdown tables to beautifully rendered images using Noto Sans CJK fonts. Supports multiple languages including:

  • English
  • Simplified Chinese (简体中文)
  • Traditional Chinese (繁體中文)
  • Japanese (日本語)
  • Korean (한국어)

Table Rendering Example

✂️ Smart Message Chunking

Automatically splits long messages into smaller chunks while preserving markdown formatting. This ensures responses stay within Discord’s character limit without breaking code blocks or formatting.

🔍 Google Search Integration

Built-in search capabilities through Gemini tools. When Daia needs up-to-date information, it can automatically search the web to provide accurate answers.

💬 Slash Commands

Includes a /newchat command for starting fresh conversation sessions, clearing the context and beginning anew.

📝 Context-Aware History

Processes Discord message history with context awareness, allowing Daia to understand the flow of conversation and provide relevant responses.
