CONVERSATION MEETS CAPABILITY

Rael

Rael is an AI-powered Discord bot built for natural conversation, multi-model flexibility, and useful utilities like vision, web search, live stock data, and usage tracking.

Note

What's New in v1

Rael v1 builds on the alpha foundation with the following additions:

• Vision support, allowing Rael to read and understand image attachments
• Model switching, letting users choose which AI model handles their requests
• Web search, giving Rael access to up to date information beyond its training data
• Live stock graphs, available directly through chat
• Token usage tracking with a clean, visual breakdown instead of raw numbers The core prefix system and persona functionality from the alpha release remain, refined for consistency.

Usage

Rael uses a prefix based interface with two modes of interaction.

• , for AI-first input mode
• $ for command-first mode

AI-first mode (,)

Start your message with a comma to send it directly to the AI without needing a command. You can also simply ping the bot instead of using the prefix.

Example:

,what is a JavaScript promise?
,explain async/await in simple terms

Command-first mode ($)

Use this prefix for structured commands such as configuration, status checks, or utility actions.

Example:

$help
$ping
$persona list
$resetai

AI Command Usage

Resetting clears conversation history and restores default behavior.

Persona System

The persona system allows users to adjust the AI's behavior and response style.

Available subcommands:

• $persona list Displays all available personas.

• $persona current / status / now / active Shows the currently active persona.

• $persona set <name> / use <name> / switch <name> Switches to a selected persona.

• $persona reset / clear Restores the default persona and clears context.

Model Switching

Rael supports multiple underlying AI models, allowing users to pick the one that best fits their needs, whether prioritizing speed or depth of response.

• $model list Displays all available models.

• $model current Shows the currently active model.

• $model set <name> / use <name> Switches to a selected model.

Vision

Rael can read and understand images sent as attachments. Send an image along with a message and Rael will analyze the content and respond accordingly.

Web Search

Rael can search the web when you ask it to do so, to provide up to date information when needed, rather than relying solely on its training data.

Stock Graphs

Rael can pull up live stock charts directly in chat, just ask for it.

Token Usage Tracking

Users can view their token usage at any time through a clean, image based visual breakdown rather than plain numbers.
