The Guardian Discord bot range was developed for various features and purposes.

Dark Guardian was developed with Python with the goal of providing more fun and interactive ways for users to engage with their Discord servers. Some of these features include:

• Moderation features: kick/ban, filter, chat cleanup
• Trivia
• Economy: user credits, games, and trading
• Custom commands
• Admin automation: self-role assignment, cross-server announcements, mod-mail reports
• Customisable command permissions

Light Guardian is the second bot in the Guardian range, developed using JavaScript with the purpose of providing high-quality music streaming for the user’s Discord server. It uses various APIs, such as YouTube, SoundCloud, etc., to provide lossless audio quality streamed straight to the audio channel of the chosen server.

Ultra Guardian is the last bot in the Guardian range, also developed using Python. However, it is also the most complex bot. Ultra Guardian uses AI to moderate Discord servers; it can understand text and image input without the need for any user interaction or command. This is achievable using the OpenAI API to evaluate text, and Hugging Face’s transformer model to evaluate images. The result is a bot that can understand conversations and images being sent in the server, allowing for the bot to intervene if something isn’t right and take action.

Designed within a Windows server environment and offering flexibility to transition to a Linux-based setup, the streaming service delivered a 24/7 internet radio broadcast. With encryption over HTTPS, it ensured secure streaming that can seamlessly integrate into any website or application. Furthermore, the service featured an AutoDJ, allowing users to schedule playlists tailored to different times of the day for the broadcast.
