Discord AMA bot: live Q&A with questions, upvotes and a host board
An AMA in a busy chat is chaos: good questions scroll away, the same one is asked five times and the host never knows what people care about most. The AMA / Q&A Board fixes that. Members submit questions in a form, upvote the ones they want answered, and the host works through them in vote order on a live board, with optional anonymous questions and a CSV export at the end.

👍 Upvote a question…
What you get
Upvotes decide the order
Everyone upvotes the questions they want answered from a menu under the board. The top-voted question is always next, and nobody can upvote their own.
Anonymous questions
Turn them on and members can ask without their name. Anonymous questions never show who asked, not on the board, in the console, in the export or in Flows.
No duplicates, no flooding
The same question twice is caught and the member is pointed to upvote the original. A per-member limit keeps one person from filling the board.
Made for stage events
Link the session to your stage or voice channel and to the live Open Mic session there, so the speakers and the questions live together.
Export afterwards
Download every question with votes, status and the host’s notes as CSV, to publish answers later or plan the next AMA.
How it works
Turn on the AMA board
Open https://console.botgg.app, choose your server and switch on AMA / Q&A Board in the Community section. Pick the default board channel and host roles.
Start a session
Run
/ama startwith a title (and optionally the stage channel), or start it from the console. The live board appears in the channel.Members ask and upvote
Members press Ask a question, type it and upvote others from the menu. The board re-sorts itself by votes as they come in.
Answer in vote order
The host presses Next to take the top question, then Answered or Skip.
/ama endcloses the session and/ama exportdownloads the CSV.
A live board the host can actually run
The board is one message that BotGG edits in place: what is being answered now, the top questions with their votes and askers, and buttons to ask, ask anonymously or see all questions. Hosts get their own row: Next, Answered, Skip, Pause questions and End. Everything else members do is private, so the chat stays readable.
Hosts are members with Manage Server, Manage Events or Manage Channels, plus any host roles you add. Live sessions at once: 1 on Free and 5 on Pro; questions per session: 200 on Free and 1,000 on Pro.

Frequently asked questions
How do I host an AMA on Discord?
Turn on the AMA / Q&A Board in the BotGG console and run /ama start with a title. Members submit questions and upvote them on the live board, and you answer the top-voted one with Next.
Can members ask questions anonymously?
Yes, if you allow it. Anonymous questions never show the asker: not on the board, in the console, in the CSV export or in Flows. Staff can still remove a question that breaks the rules.
How are questions ordered?
By upvotes, then by age, so the questions most people want answered rise to the top. Members can’t upvote their own question, and a repeat of an open question is turned into an upvote suggestion.
Can I pause new questions?
Yes. The host can pause and resume questions from the board or the console, for example to catch up on the queue before the end.
Does it work with stage channels?
Yes. Link the session to your stage or voice channel, and to the live Open Mic session there, so members ask in one place while the host talks on stage.
