Ask Zero & AI insights

Zero is the Metryx AI. Ask it questions, have it build and configure your server, and read its daily headline on every stats page.

Meet Zero

Where to find it:SidebarAsk Zero

Zero is the Metryx AI. It answers questions about your community using the exact same live numbers your dashboard renders, so what it says always matches what you see on the charts. Chats are saved forever and shared with your profile's team, so anyone can pick a conversation back up later: the title in the top-left corner is the way back, and its dropdown lists every past chat by day. Each chat names itself after the first answer.

You can show Zero things too. Use the paperclip in the composer, or paste a screenshot straight into the question box, and Zero reads what is in the image: a channel list from another server you like, a Discord setting you cannot find, a Metryx chart you want explained. Up to four images per message. They are sent to the model for that one answer and are not stored, so an older chat shows a note that an image was attached instead of the image itself.

Note

Zero only talks about your community and Metryx. Ask it to do your homework and it will politely decline, without using up one of your monthly messages.

Choosing a model

Where to find it:Ask ZeroModel picker in the composer

The picker under the question box chooses how Zero works on your next message:

  • Auto (the default): Zero picks the right model for each request.
  • Zero: the quick model. Fast, tight answers for everyday questions.
  • Zero Analyst: deep analysis. It reads more of your data, compares windows, and takes its time.
  • Zero Agent: actions. It asks what you want, then proposes a plan to build and configure your server.

Note

Every model draws from the same monthly pool of Chat tokens, and each answer costs what it actually takes: a quick answer is a few tokens, a deep Agent build can be a few hundred. Hover over any answer to see its receipt, and find the full breakdown in Settings under AI usage.

Asking questions

Ask in plain language: "why did health drop this week?", "how many people were active in the last 30 days?", "who needs moderation attention?". Zero fetches the data it needs while it answers, and every fetch shows up under the reply as a source chip with the dataset, the window, and how long the fetch took.

Follow-ups work like a normal conversation. Asking "what about last month?" after a messages question re-runs the same lens on a different window. Specific periods work too: "how many active members did we have from June 1st to June 15th?" resolves exactly those dates, in your profile's timezone, not the nearest preset window.

On Standard and Pro plans Zero also reads your community sentiment: ask "how is the community feeling?", "which channels run negative?", or "how is the tour subject doing?", and it can manage sentiment tuning rules and tracked subjects for you.

Not sure where to start? A new chat opens with example questions you can fill with one click. And Zero can read your Metryx configuration too: ask about your AutoMod rules, leveling setup, access codes, scheduled reports, or who can moderate, and it answers from the actual settings.

Charts in chat

When Zero reads your data, the answer comes with the picture. A question about activity renders a message chart right in the chat, a health question shows the score and its five pillars as a card, "when is my server active" draws the hour-by-day heatmap, and top inviters come back as a bar list. The charts are the same live numbers the dashboard shows, in a compact card under the source chips.

Zero can read everything the dashboard can: messages, member growth, voice, retention, text stats, moderation stats, invites, the activity heatmap, health, and the live snapshot. If a page can show it, you can ask about it and get the chart back in chat.

Tip

Charts stay with the conversation. Reopen a chat later and the cards are still there, exactly as Zero drew them.

Having Zero do things

Where to find it:SidebarAsk Zero

Zero does not just answer, it can do the work for you. Ask it to build out channels, set up roles, make a channel private, turn on welcome messages, add an AutoMod rule, schedule a report, and more. The rule of thumb: anything you can do on your dashboard or by hand in your server, you can ask Zero to do.

When you ask for something to be done, Zero replies with a plan: the exact actions it wants to take, in order. Nothing runs until you authorize it.

Tip

For a big build like a whole new server, pick Zero Agent in the model picker. It first asks you a short series of questions, one at a time, with options to click and a recommended pick about who the community is for, which channels you want, what should be private, and roles, then proposes one plan that does all of it. Your answers collapse into a small "questions answered" chip you can reopen any time.

Note

A proposed plan stays runnable for 15 minutes. After that it expires, because your server may have changed underneath it, and one click regenerates it fresh.

Important

Taking actions is part of the Standard and Pro plans. On the free plan, Zero answers questions about your data but points you to Settings, Plan & billing when you ask it to do the work itself.

Authorizing a plan

The moment Zero proposes a runnable plan, an Authorize plan popup appears above the question box: how many actions, on which server, with a "see steps" line that expands into the full list. Authorize once and the whole plan runs while a checklist works itself down the steps. Dismiss the popup and a small Run plan button waits in the plan's header instead.

Want changes first? Edit plan in the popup asks "how should this plan change?" Describe the tweak and Zero proposes a fresh plan that replaces the old one. You can also skip individual steps from the checklist before authorizing.

Important

If a plan deletes, bans, or locks anything, authorizing it requires typing your server's name first. Zero will never do something destructive from a single click.

Previewing your server

When a plan changes your server's structure, the plan card carries a View plan button. It opens a fullscreen preview of your server exactly as the plan would leave it: new channels marked, removed ones struck through, categories in place.

Use the Viewing as picker to browse the server as any role would see it. Channels that role cannot see disappear, and the message box at the bottom of each channel tells you plainly whether that role could post there — so you can confirm a staff channel is actually private before you authorize anything.

If the plan creates roles, a panel under the preview lists each one — open them one at a time to see the role's color and every permission it grants, in plain words.

Tip

The preview updates live while a plan runs, so you can watch Zero work step by step.

Safety limits

Zero is built so it cannot run away, no matter what you or anyone else types. These limits are always on and cannot be turned off:

  • Destructive work is gated. Any plan that deletes, bans, or locks makes you type your server's name before it runs, and large-scale deletions spell out exactly how much they remove.
  • No admin powers. Zero can never create or hand out a role with dangerous permissions like Administrator, Manage Server, Manage Roles, Ban, or Kick. It will tell you to do that by hand in Discord.
  • Content cannot trigger actions. If Zero reads member-posted content while helping you (names, messages, the audit log), every step of the resulting plan waits for your approval, so a message someone plants in your server can never make Zero act on its own.

Warning

Deleting a channel permanently removes every message in it, and it cannot be undone. Zero flags this clearly before you approve.

Activity & undo

Where to find it:Ask ZeroActivity

Every plan Zero runs is recorded. Open Activity from the Ask Zero header to see a timeline of what Zero has done on your server, when, and under which trust mode, expandable to the individual steps and their outcomes.

Runs that can be reversed show an Undo button, both on the plan card right after it runs and later from the Activity page. Undo puts things back the way they were.

Note

Some things cannot be undone, like a deleted channel's messages. Undoing something large, like reversing a big build that would delete many channels, asks you to type your server name first, the same as any other large-scale change.

Daily AI insights

Where to find it:Overview / Text / Voice / Membership / Retention / Streaming / Activity / Moderation

Each stats page opens with an AI Insights card: one sentence about the most notable change in that view, with the key number highlighted. The insight generates the first time anyone on the profile opens the page that day, and it keeps up: if the page's numbers have moved meaningfully since it was written, a later visit quietly regenerates it, a few times a day at most. It resets with the next day in your profile's timezone.

Note

The insight always describes the last 4 weeks (the card says so next to its title), even if you pick a different date range on the page. The card loads after your charts do, so it never slows a page down. If a view doesn't have enough data yet, the card says so instead of inventing a headline. Each generation uses a few Chat tokens from the same allowance Zero answers draw on, and the few-times-a-day cap keeps that spend small.

Chat tokens & limits

Where to find it:SettingsAI usage

You have three separate monthly balances: Sentiment + Subjects, Moderation, and Chat. Standard includes 30,000, 20,000, and 15,000 tokens respectively. Pro includes 150,000, 30,000, and 75,000. Free includes 500 Chat tokens.

Sentiment and Subjects share one analysis and one charge. Moderation tokens cover AI rules and deeper reviews. Chat tokens cover Zero answers and daily insight generation. Basic screening and rule-based AutoMod do not consume tokens.

Tokens measure paid AI work, so message length, conversation context and the work required change the cost. They are Metryx billing units, separate from raw model tokens. You do not have a fixed message allowance.

Open Settings, AI usage for all three balances, reserved work, recent usage and email alerts. Optional usage billing costs $1 per 1,000 additional tokens, with one shared monthly spend cap across all pools.

Important

When a pool runs out, only that work pauses unless usage billing has headroom. Basic screening and AutoMod continue. Work already reserved can finish after you lower the cap or turn usage billing off.

Note

Balances reset on the first day of each calendar month in UTC. Unused tokens do not roll over. Failed operations do not consume tokens; duplicate settlement never charges twice.
