I installed the chatbot on my discord but it’s not indexing anything, do I need to sign up for a trial or something like that?

It’s my own little discord server so I have a super low volume of messages :-)

Manish, founder here.

On Discord, the bot only picks up Discord threads, not the chats in a channel. Could that be it? Unless there's some issue with sync.

That must be it! I don't really have any threads I don't think. Oh so Struct uses that as boundary to summarize? Makes sense, although a lot of Slack and Discord servers don't really use threads. Like, the golang one in Slack specifically asks people to NOT use threads, out of some usability concern, I think (screen readers or something).

Yeah. We now pick up chats from channels in Slack, and convert them into threads. Somepoint we'd do the same for Discord too.

Chats in channels are too diverse to act like threads. Jury is out on how good those threads look.
