# Thea — Discord support and moderation

> Thea answers member questions from your docs, runs layered AutoMod, manages tickets, and publishes a help center — all from one dashboard.

Thea is an AI Discord bot that keeps a community supported around the clock. It answers from the knowledge sources you connect and cites the passage it used. When it is not confident, it hands the thread to your team instead of guessing. The same install runs AutoMod, tickets, and a public help center.

## How Thea works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect knowledge sources">
    Point Thea at docs, a sitemap, files, or Notion / Zendesk. Indexing usually finishes in minutes for small sites.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tune settings">
    Pick watched channels, set the 0–1 confidence threshold (default 0.35), choose a support role, and turn on the AutoMod layers you want.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Rehearse in the Playground">
    Ask real questions and inspect citations and confidence before anything reaches Discord. Playground runs use the live pipeline and count against your AI budget.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch in Discord">
    Invite Thea and run `/setup`. It answers in threads, opens tickets from your panel, and escalates when it is not sure.
  </Step>
</Steps>
