The Doge Labs VR Discord bot
What it is
Section titled “What it is”A single-server Discord bot for artists, developers, leads and producers. You tell it your timezone and working hours, and it reminds you at the right time. Everything it starts arrives as a direct message, except the summary it posts for a meeting transcript or a voice call. A command answers in a message only you can see. A question can be posted in the channel if you choose, and a question you ask by tagging the bot (mentioning it with @) is always answered there.
A few words used throughout: an admin is a member with the Manage Server permission, Linear is the ticket tracker the team plans work in, and whoever runs the bot is the person who hosts it and switches features on.
