Assistant
Configure a channel-based natural-language assistant that runs Airwavy's existing features, such as checking a balance, from a plain message.
How it works
The Assistant is a natural-language front end for features Airwavy already has, not an open-ended chat partner. It responds when a message starts with an Airwavy mention or when a member posts in the configured Assistant channel, recognizes what was meant, and runs the same underlying action the matching slash command would before replying with a short result.
Before you start
- Choose a public or staff channel where short, on-topic requests are appropriate.
- Do not submit secrets, private credentials, confidential documents, or sensitive personal data to the Assistant.
Configure it
- Open Assistant in the dashboard and enable it.
- Choose the dedicated Assistant channel and save.
- Start a message with an Airwavy mention or post in the configured channel using non-sensitive test content, for example "what's my balance?".
Start a request
- Start a message with Airwavy's Discord mention in a server text channel, or send a non-empty message in the configured Assistant channel.
- Ask in plain language, for example "@Airwavy what's my balance?" or "@Airwavy what can you do?".
- Messages from bots and webhooks are ignored.
- A mention elsewhere in the message does not start the Assistant; put the Airwavy mention first.
What it can do today
- Check your own economy wallet and bank balance, or ask about another member's by name.
- Ask a general "what can you do" question for a short summary of current capabilities.
- When a name matches more than one member, the Assistant asks you to be more specific or lists the close matches instead of guessing.
- A request the Assistant does not recognize gets a short reply suggesting the matching slash command instead.
Usage limits
- Personal Premium and Server Premium use a 3-second per-member cooldown.
- Everyone else uses an 8-second per-member cooldown.
- A displayed maintenance notice or temporary service-unavailable response can pause requests independently of the cooldown.
Safety and privacy
- The Assistant has no persistent conversation memory: each message is classified and answered on its own, so there is no history to reset.
- A local AI model is used only to recognize which request was meant and pull out simple details such as a member's name; it never performs the requested action itself.
- Every action the Assistant runs uses the same deterministic permission checks, entity resolution, and feature code as the matching slash command.
- A destructive action will always require an explicit confirm-or-cancel step once one is available; it is never performed just because the model was confident.
Expected result
- A recognized request returns the same result the matching slash command would, such as a wallet and bank balance.
- An unclear member name is met with a request to be more specific or a short list of close matches instead of a guess.
Common errors
The Assistant does not respond
Check that the feature is enabled, the message starts with Airwavy's mention or is in the configured Assistant channel, and the request is not empty. Then wait for the per-member cooldown.
Saved changes do not take effect
Reload the feature page and confirm the saved values. Then verify that the selected Discord channel or role still exists and that Airwavy can access it.
Discord reports missing permissions
Check the permission on both the server role and the target channel. Channel overwrites and role hierarchy can deny an action even when the server-level permission is present.
