AI reply
Ask the AI something and use its answer.
ai.reply
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, AI reply.”
/idea → AI reply: a build idea → Send message: the Answer.
What it does
Ask the AI something and use its answer. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Systems in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when that system is on in your server: ask the AI something and use its answer.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire

What to ask, like: Give a build idea about {answer.theme}. Variables allowed.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Needed. Publish lists it until it's set or wired; the step can't run without it.
