From signup to a working bot in 5 minutes.

Head to getnexus.me/register and sign up with email. We'll send a verification link — click it to activate your account.

You can also sign in with Discord directly, but we recommend email first so your Nexus handle stays stable even if you ever change Discord accounts.

On the dashboard, click Link Discord in the top-right profile menu. Authorize the connection — Nexus reads your owned servers so it can show them in the sidebar. We don't see your messages or DMs.

From the sidebar, pick a server you own. Nexus will detect that the bot isn't there yet and offer an Invite Nexus button that opens Discord's standard OAuth screen.

Discord will list the permissions Nexus is requesting. You can uncheck anything you don't want to grant — features that need a missing permission show a clear warning in the dashboard later. See Discord permissions for the full breakdown.

Pick one of these as your starter — they each take under 60 seconds and have a visible effect on the server immediately:

• Welcome card — auto-greet new members with an image-based message. Find it under Engage → Welcome.
• Auto-moderation — block spam, mass mentions, and bad-link patterns. Under Protect → Auto-mod.
• Reaction roles — let members self-assign roles from a message panel. Under Engage → Reaction roles.

The differentiator. In the sidebar under Build → AI Builder, type what you want in plain English — for example:

"Create a /warn command that bans members after 3 warnings."

"Greet new members in a private DM with the server rules."

Nexus generates the full slash command (logic, permissions, replies) and asks for one click to deploy. See AI Command Builder for what it can and can't do.

You're set up. From here:

• Read the permissions guide if you saw a "missing permission" warning.
• Check the billing FAQ before starting your Pro trial — there's no card on file required.
• Browse the changelog to see what shipped recently — we publish about once a week.
