What are Discord bots, and how can they help your server?

Discord servers are virtual meeting spaces where people gather to catch up, collaborate, compete, discuss, or entertain themselves. While the service originated as a voice chat and instant messaging service for gamers inside and outside games, it has been used by more than gamers since its inception. Discord has now become a platform for communities, with servers ranging from intimate places for a few friends to millions-strong for users of AI tools and players of popular video game titles.
