Your server does the same small things over and over — welcoming newcomers, handing a role to
whoever asks, posting the same reminder every week. Automations do them for you. You describe a rule
once — when this happens, do that — and Lumei watches for it and acts, every time, without you in the
room.
Building one is the good part. The Automation Studio opens over the whole screen, and the rule you're
making reads back to you as a plain sentence as you go: when someone types !vibe, if they're a
member, then give them the Vibing role for an hour. A live Discord preview shows exactly what your
members will see, and you can rehearse the whole thing against a pretend member first — every step it
would take, before it touches anyone real.
And it goes as deep as you want. A rule can branch on what's true in the moment, hand off to another
rule, run on a daily or weekly clock with no one present, or open a form and keep every answer. The
everyday pieces stay free — the triggers, replies, roles and reactions, and your first couple of live
rules — with scheduling, forms, currency rewards, and the deeper controls on the paid tiers.
Say it once, and it happens — Describe a rule — when this happens, do that — and Lumei carries it out every time, on its own.
Build it in the open — A full-screen studio where the rule reads back as a plain sentence, beside a live Discord preview and a rehearsal that shows what would happen before anyone sees it.
As deep as you need — Branch on the moment, chain rules together, run on a schedule, or collect answers with a form.
Everything in this release
New
Automations — teach your server to act on its own: when something happens, it responds.
Six ways to start a rule — a command members type, a reaction, a new member, a first message, a moment like a level-up or purchase, or a set time.
The Automation Studio — a full-screen builder where the whole rule reads back as a plain sentence as you write it.
A live Discord preview and a rehearsal — see the reply your members will get, and dry-run a rule against a pretend member before it touches anyone.
Branch — take one path or another depending on what's true at the moment a rule runs.
Chains — have one rule hand off to another, so a bigger flow stays readable.
Scheduled rules — post, reset, or tidy up on a daily or weekly clock, with no one needed in the room.
Forms — a button that opens a Discord form and keeps every answer for you.
Insights — see how often each rule fires, who it reaches, and what it hands out, over the last two weeks.
Templates — start from a ready-made rule, like a welcome bonus or a self-serve colour, and make it yours.
Known issues
A rule you save or change goes live in Discord within about a minute, not instantly.
Scheduled rules run on a UTC clock — a 9am daily post fires at 9am UTC.
What's next for automations
More ways to start a rule, a shared library to lift a good one between your servers, and a hand from
Lumei when you're writing one are the reserved next steps. The roadmap has the wider
picture, and what you tell us still sets the order.
Giving yourself a role should be the easiest thing in your server. Today it is, three ways over.
Your members can react with an emoji, tap a button, or pick from a dropdown, and the role is theirs —
or gone — in a single move, with a quiet confirmation only they can see.
For you, it's one builder for all three. Author a menu once — its roles, its emoji, and how members
claim them — beside a live preview that shows exactly what will land in Discord, then post it to a
channel without leaving the dashboard. Reactions are here for anyone moving over from another bot;
buttons and dropdowns are the tidy, modern default.
And it goes as deep as you need. Pick-one menus for a single colour, verify-only gates that grant but
never take away, limits on how many roles a member can gather, and menus only certain members can
reach. The essentials stay free — every delivery style, every core behaviour, your first menu — with
the wider controls on the paid tiers.
Three ways to claim — React with an emoji, tap a button, or pick from a dropdown — the same menu, however your members prefer.
Build it beside the real thing — A live, true-to-Discord preview updates as you go, and you post the menu to a channel straight from the dashboard.
As deep as you need — Pick-one menus, verify-only gates, per-member and per-role limits, and role-gated access — the depth power users came for.
Everything in this release
New
Reaction roles — members react with an emoji to give themselves a role, the classic way, now built in.
A live Discord preview — see exactly how a menu will look, updating as you build it, so you never post blind.
Post to Discord from the dashboard — publish a menu to any channel in one click, with no command to remember.
Behaviour modes — a menu can be a free toggle, a pick-one, a verify-only gate, remove-only, or a one-time binding choice.
The Menu Studio — a full-screen builder for bigger menus, with emoji, colours, and every control in one place.
Gating and limits — let only certain roles use a menu, cap how many roles a member can take, or how many members can hold one (a Premium reach).
Improved
Every option can now carry an emoji, and a menu reads the way your members expect whichever style you choose.
Everything you already built keeps working — existing button and dropdown menus need no changes.
Known issues
A reaction menu fits up to 20 emoji per message, a Discord limit — for a longer list, a dropdown holds more.
Roles that expire on their own, and menus that clean themselves up after an event, aren't here yet — they're the next chapter.
Changing the emoji on a menu you've already posted with reactions means posting it again; buttons and dropdowns update in place.
What's next for role menus
Timed roles that lift on their own, menus that span more than a single message, and a one-line way to
build one from Discord are the reserved next steps. The roadmap has the wider picture, and
what you tell us still sets the order.
Lumei has always been the engine that grows your community. Today it starts protecting it too. The
Warden is the safety half of Lumei — the guard on your front gate, the watch over your most-trusted
accounts, and a memory that never loses a case — and it starts working the moment you invite the bot,
on sensible defaults you never have to touch.
The idea is simple: a server should be safe out of the box and endlessly adjustable when you're
curious. So every protection is on from the first minute behind a curated preset, and every setting
is one click away on a new Warden page in your dashboard, which opens with a plain 0–100 read of how
protected you are and what to turn on next.
And the line we won't cross: the pieces that keep a server safe are free. The paywalls sit on scale
and polish — higher limits, more restore points, deeper analytics — never on protection itself.
The perimeter — Anti-raid watches your front gate for coordinated joiners; anti-nuke watches your trusted accounts — and guards the bots and webhooks most tools leave open.
One rulebook — A visual when-this, if-that, do-this rule builder feeding a single escalation ladder, so a warning here and an auto-timeout there finally add up to one story.
Recover from anything — Structural backups of your channels, roles, and permissions — restored in one click when something goes wrong, and the restore itself can be undone.
The Smart Gate — A verification gate that tightens itself the moment a raid starts: a friendly button on a calm day, a real challenge when things get loud.
The mod desk — Cases, private notes, a full member dossier, member reports, private modmail, and one-click appeals — the record that remembers everything.
A trust network — Opt in, and an account caught raiding one Lumei server arrives at the next already flagged for your review — hashed, human-confirmed, and only ever advisory.
Everything in this release
New
Anti-raid — a join gate and join-spike watch that catches a coordinated wave before anyone can post, with a reflex for mass-mention floods.
Anti-nuke — per-person limits on dangerous actions like mass channel or role deletes, with an instant quarantine when a trusted account goes rogue — and it covers bots and webhooks, not just people.
The rule builder — one visual canvas to say "when this, and if that, then do this," in place of a dozen disconnected toggle tabs. It reads real regex, and look-alike or leetspeak text is caught by default.
Escalation and Standing — every warning, automatic action, and note feeds one points-based ladder that forgives over time, so a member who slips once and then behaves is let off the hook on their own.
Verification with a Smart Gate — a one-tap gate for new members that quietly steps up to a captcha when your raid signal climbs, and steps back down when it's calm.
Backups and one-click restore — scheduled snapshots of your server's structure, restored in a single click, with a fresh snapshot taken first so the restore is itself reversible.
Cases and dossiers — every action becomes a numbered case on a member's record, with private staff notes and one screen that holds their whole history.
Member reports — your members flag a bad message or user straight into a private mod queue, and the reporter stays anonymous.
Modmail — a member DMs the bot and a private thread opens with your staff, who reply as the bot: one calm channel instead of five pinged moderators.
Appeals — a punished member gets a clear DM and a one-click appeal that reverses the action the moment you approve it.
The moderator toolkit — the full set a mod reaches for, from ban and kick to timeout, mute, purge, and lock, each tunable from the dashboard.
Role permissions — give a trusted mod the toolkit without giving them server-wide Administrator, and keep the dangerous powers with only the roles you choose.
The trust network — opt in to a shared, privacy-respecting signal, so an account confirmed as a raider on one server arrives pre-flagged on the next. It's off until you turn it on.
Dossier export — download a member's full record as a spreadsheet for your own files, a Premium reach-back.
Improved
The Warden dashboard now reads like a document — every setting is a plain sentence with a visible label, not a wall of unmarked switches — and opens on a security score that shows its own math.
Known issues
AI-native moderation isn't live yet — context-aware toxicity and image scanning are reserved, and the ladder already holds their place, but they aren't built.
The trust network only helps once servers opt in, both to share and to receive — by design, nothing is shared until you choose to.
During a raid the gate can weigh signals like a brand-new account or one flagged elsewhere, but that read is advisory — new accounts, shared homes, and VPNs can look alike, so it routes a likely evader to a challenge or to your review, never an automatic ban.
Role permissions govern what a mod can do in your server; opening the dashboard itself still requires Manage Server for now.
What's next for the Warden
AI-native moderation — a confidence-scored detector that plugs into the same rule builder — is the
reserved next chapter, and there's more delegation and analytics on the way. The
roadmap has the wider picture, and what you tell us still sets the order.
Every server dashboard can show you numbers that go up. None of them can answer the question that
actually keeps you up at night: is my community healthy, or quietly dying? The Pulse is our
answer — a new page on your dashboard, built from the activity Lumei already sees, and it now sits
right at the top of your sidebar where it belongs.
It opens with one number: your health score, 0–100, made from three parts you can see — who's
showing up, who's coming back, and whether the energy is rising. No black box: the formula is fixed
and identical on every server, so a 74 means the same thing everywhere. Below it, the page reads
like founder tooling — because if you run a community, you are one.
Health score — One number, three visible parts, and an 8-week rhythm showing how it's been moving.
Churn radar — The regulars going quiet right now — count for everyone, names and full dossiers on Pro.
Retention — Do joiners stay? The survival curve, plus every join-week cohort tracked side by side.
When you're alive — An hour-by-hour heatmap in your local time, with the best window for your next event.
Economy lens — Where money is born, where it dies, and who holds it — inflation shows up here first.
Everything in this release
New
Health score — a 0–100 read on your community, with the three parts (showing up, coming back, momentum) shown as open math, never a mystery grade.
Daily actives — your activity line, day by day, with axis values, date marks, and your running average drawn in.
Retention curve and cohort grid — what % of joiners are still around 1–8 weeks later, then each join-week tracked on its own row. Click a cohort to meet its members and see the week-one difference between the ones who stayed and the ones who left.
Churn radar — regulars drifting toward the door, before they're gone. Everyone sees the count; Pro sees the names, each opening into a dossier with their trail-off, their pattern, and a win-back playbook.
"When you're alive" — a 7×24 heatmap of your server's heartbeat, rotated to your timezone, with your peak hours and quietest days named.
Economy lens with a full deep dive — money supply, faucets vs sinks day by day, your top holders, and the balance spread across your members.
This week's wins — your streak leader, top climber, and busiest day, on every plan. Pride is the point.
Deep dives everywhere — every chart on the Pulse expands into a full-screen read with the detail behind the summary. If a number makes you ask "why?", click it.
Improved
Pulse moved to the top of the sidebar, next to Overview and The Hub — it's the first page worth checking, so it's first.
Every stat tile now carries its week-over-week comparison, not just the active count.
Fixed
Trend lines no longer freeze partway across the chart while the shaded area draws the rest.
The heatmap's hour labels now sit exactly under the hours they name.
Known issues
A brand-new server shows a "collecting" state for its first days — the Pulse only ever draws real history, so it needs some to exist.
Retention needs a few weeks of joiners before the curve appears — honesty over a fake line.
What's next for the Pulse
The Monday digest — your week's Pulse delivered as a DM before you've opened the dashboard — and
one-click win-back actions on the churn radar are designed and next in line. The
roadmap has the wider picture, and what you tell us still sets the order.
Lumei is officially in Open Beta. The engine that runs leveling, an economy, a shop, and quests — every value of it tuned from your browser — is now open to any server, free to start. This is the first public milestone, and it is very much a beginning.
You're early, and that's the point. Everything below is live in Discord today, and a lot more is already taking shape. What real servers ask for is what moves up the list — so if something would make Lumei a yes for you, tell us.
Leveling — Smart text and voice XP, reward roles, role and channel multipliers, /rank cards, and a live leaderboard.
Economy — A currency you name and price — daily streaks, /work, and /pay, every coin on a tamper-proof ledger.
Shop & inventory — Sell roles, perks, and limited items with a live Discord preview, gifting, and a fulfillment queue.
Quests — A no-code mission builder, a live board, and exactly-once rewards your members can actually chase.
The dashboard — Tune every module in your browser, with a live preview and saves that reach Discord in about two seconds.
Everything in this release
A lot shipped to get to Open Beta. The headlines are above; here is the fuller picture.
New
Message Studio — design a Discord message or embed visually and publish it straight from the dashboard.
Server Logs — a clean, filterable audit trail of what happens across your server.
Welcome and goodbye — greet newcomers with a card and a warm first message, and see members off gracefully.
Smart onboarding — invite Lumei and land on your server's dashboard right away, with a setup card waiting in-server.
Voice XP — earn levels for talking, not just typing, with anti-AFK guards so it stays fair.
Gifting and a fulfillment queue in the shop, so limited items feel like real drops.
Improved
Rank and balance cards were redesigned to be cleaner and genuinely screenshot-worthy.
The whole site and every bot embed were reworked by hand to feel made, not templated.
Saves reach Discord noticeably faster — most land in about two seconds.
Fixed
Server Logs now record every tracked event, including ones the audit trail used to miss.
Onboarding now finds the person who actually invited Lumei, not just the server owner.
Known issues
Seasons and the Server Pass aren't live yet — they're up next.
The Pulse — your server's retention and churn analytics — is in the workshop.
Social notifications (Twitch, YouTube, and more) are on the way.
A few dashboard toggles still read sensible defaults while their own controls ship.
What's next
The roadmap has the full map, but the next few weeks are focused on Seasons and the Server Pass, the Pulse (your server's retention analytics), social notifications, reaction roles, and an embed builder. The order isn't fixed — tell us what to build and it moves up.
Open Beta means exactly that: the core is solid and live, but you'll meet rough edges and a few features still in the workshop. We list our known gaps above on purpose — that's the honest way to run a beta. Found something, or missing something? Let us know. You're helping shape v1.
