Terms with aliases
Each term has a definition with formatting, up to 10 other names and an optional image. Lookups match aliases, ignore accents and letter case and handle ё and Hebrew vowel marks.
Discord glossary bot: your server’s lore, slang and inside jokes in one place
Every community grows its own language: nicknames, running jokes, event names, game slang. Lore & Glossary turns it into a searchable dictionary. Members look up terms with /lore lookup, suggest new ones for moderators to approve, and when a newcomer asks “what is X?” BotGG can answer automatically with your definition.

📖 Here’s what that means on this server:
What you get
Fast lookups
/lore lookup autocompletes as you type: by start of word, then by alias, then anywhere in the term. Answers can be public or only visible to the person asking.
Member suggestions
/lore suggest opens a short form. Suggestions go to a review channel where moderators approve or reject them with one click.
Auto-answers for newcomers
When a new member asks “what is X?”, “что такое X?” or “מה זה X?” and X is in the glossary, BotGG replies with the definition, without pinging anyone.
Random lore
/lore random pulls a random term, a fun way to teach your server’s history, and /lore list pages through the whole glossary.
Edited in the console
Add and edit terms with a live preview of the Discord answer, manage aliases as chips and work through suggestions in their own tab.
How it works
Turn on Lore & Glossary
Open https://console.botgg.app, choose your server and turn on Lore & Glossary in the Community section. Choose whether answers are public or private.
Write your first terms
Add a term, its definition, aliases and an image in the Glossary tab. The preview shows exactly what members will see in Discord.
Open suggestions
Pick a review channel and a reviewer role, and members can suggest terms with
/lore suggest. Approved terms go live at once.Let BotGG answer questions
Turn on auto-answers, choose which channels and how new a member must be, and set a cooldown so each term is explained once in a while, not every time.
Onboarding that speaks your server’s language
New members are often lost in a community’s shorthand. Auto-answers catch the question at the moment it is asked, and only for short messages from members who joined recently (or from everyone, if you prefer). One answer per term per channel per cooldown and one per member per minute keep it helpful rather than noisy. Auto-answers need to read message text, which BotGG uses only to match the question.
Free servers can keep up to 50 terms and Pro servers 1,000. Pair the glossary with a Help Center for longer answers and Welcome messages that point newcomers to /lore.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a glossary for my Discord server?
Turn on Lore & Glossary in the BotGG console and add your terms with definitions and aliases. Members can then use /lore lookup to find any of them.
Can members add their own terms?
They can suggest them with /lore suggest. Each suggestion is posted to your review channel, and a moderator approves or rejects it before it appears in the glossary.
How do auto-answers work?
When a recently joined member writes a short question like “what is X?” and X is a term or alias in your glossary, BotGG replies with its definition. You choose the channels, who counts as new and the cooldown.
Does it work in Russian and Hebrew?
Yes. Questions are recognised in English, Russian and Hebrew, and matching ignores accents, letter case, ё/е and Hebrew vowel marks, so the definition is found however people type it.
Can I add pictures to terms?
Yes. Each term can have an image link that is shown with its definition, along with up to 10 aliases.
