Skills

Here is the current list of everything Glyph can do and how to ask him to do it.

If you have a feature you’d like to have added, suggest it in the official server or use Feedback.

Wiki

Glyph can search a specified Wikia wiki or Wikipedia when asked what something is. This is set in the configuration. By default this is set to Wikipedia and can only be changed in servers that have a properly set up Configuration. Private messages will always use Wikipedia.

Example phrases:

  • Who is Garrus Vakarian according to masseffect wiki?
  • What are trilobites?
  • Who is Bill Nye?

  • kick @SomeUser#0001 @SomeUser#0001
  • kick @SomeUser#0001

Note

Only people with the permission Kick Members can ask Glyph to kick members. A few additional checks are also made to ensure people can not kick members of the same role or higher, or themselves.

Ban

Example phrases:

  • ban @SomeUser#0001 for being annoying

Server Info

Glyph can create a nice little embed with all the info about a server, or you can ask for a specific piece of information. Some specific pieces of information you can ask for are the server’s name, owner, id, region, total members, and more.

Example phrases:

  • who is the owner of this server?
  • server info
  • how old is this server?

Role

Glyph can assign roles as set in the Configuration, typically for cosmetic/vanity/roleplay purposes, when asked by a user.

Set

Example phrases:

  • make me Geth.
  • set me as Turian.

QuickView

Glyph can post helpful embeds that include additional information for links from Fur Affinity and Picarto. This feature can be controlled in the Configuration.

Fur Affinity

Gives some quick info about Fur Affinity submissions such as the category, the species, the gender, the number of favorites, comments, and views, and the keywords.

Picarto

Gives some quick info about Picarto streams such as the online status, the category, the number of viewers and followers, and the tags.

Starboard

Glyph can send messages that are reacted upon with a chosen emoji (:star: by default) to another channel, kind of like pinning, but for everyone and with no limit! This feature must be configured in the Configuration first before it can be used.

Status

Glyph can show his current ping and total number of servers he’s in when asked.

Example phrases:

  • ping
  • pong
  • status

Time

Glyph can show you the time when provided with any time zone in the tz database. The detection is not always accurate and will fallback to UTC.

Example phrases:

  • time
  • time Hong Kong
  • EST time

Ephemeral Say

Ever wanted to say something, but only for a brief amount of time (kinda like a popular messaging app), and are too lazy to delete it yourself? You can ask Glyph to say something on your behalf, and then Glyph will delete it after a short amount of time (30 seconds max).

Example phrases:

  • say “something embarrassing” for 10 seconds
  • say “nobody will notice this” for 5 seconds
  • say “that’s rather odd” for 20 seconds

Help

Glyph can provide some quick help information when asked.

Example phrases:

  • help
  • help me
  • What can you do?

Feedback

Having an issue with a skill, or have a suggestion for how to improve the Glyph? Send some feedback!

Example phrases:

  • send feedback “This feature needs some work”
  • send feedback “I love Glyph, but…”
  • send feedback “Something that is useful sounding.”

Note

All feedback is sent anonymously via a webhook to a Discord channel meant for collecting feedback. We will not be able to reply to you. If you need a reply, join the official server.

Canned Responses

Sometimes if a message does not fall under a specific skill, Glyph will try to reply appropriately.

Others

There are a few other tiny fun/easter egg skills that are so small they don’t deserve a whole section detailing them. Some hints are to what they are are NumberWang, Dad jokes, jokes, the Doomsday Clock, snowstamp, magic 8-ball and a few others.
