llmcord

llmcord is a chat UI - Make Discord your LLM frontend.

Overview

llmcord transforms Discord into a collaborative LLM frontend. It works with practically any LLM, remote or locally hosted.

Just @ the bot to start a conversation and reply to continue. Build conversations with reply chains!

The reply chain is the conversation history, stored entirely in Discord. No database required.

Additionally: - When DMing the bot, conversations continue automatically (no reply required). To start a fresh conversation, just @ the bot. You can still reply to continue from anywhere. - You can branch conversations into threads. Just create a thread from any message and @ the bot inside to continue. - Back-to-back messages from the same user are automatically chained together. Just reply to the latest one and the bot will see all of them.

...Or use any other OpenAI /v1/chat/completions compatible API server.

llmcord is open-source, written primarily in Python, with 837 GitHub stars under the MIT license. It was last updated on 2026-08-14.
