How do I create a Discord bot?

To create a Discord bot, you'll need to set up a Discord account, create an application on the Discord Developer Portal, and then code your bot using a programming language like JavaScript or Python.

What programming languages can I use to code my bot?

You can use several programming languages, but the most popular ones are JavaScript (with Node.js) and Python. Both have libraries that make it easy to interact with the Discord API.

Can you show me a simple example of a bot in Python?

Sure! Here's a simple example using the discord.py library:

import discord

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {client.user}')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return
    if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run('YOUR_TOKEN')

What do I need to do to run this bot?

You'll need to install the discord.py library, create a bot token on the Discord Developer Portal, and replace 'YOUR_TOKEN' in the code with your actual token.
