## About Hedwig

Hedwig brings the jobs that usually need several bots into one consistent
experience:

## Make Hedwig fit your server

Hedwig supports both Discord slash commands and message commands with your
configured prefix. Slash commands are available as registered Discord commands;
prefix commands are useful when you want a quick message-based workflow.

The default prefix is `,`, but each server can choose its own:

<CodeGroup>
  ```text View the current prefix theme={null}
  ,prefix
  ```

  ```text Set a server prefix theme={null}
  ,prefix set !
  ```

  ```text Set your personal prefix theme={null}
  ,prefix self ?
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Use `,prefix remove` to restore the project default. Prefixes can be up to 10
characters, and changing a server prefix does not change slash commands.

## Customize Hedwig per server

Hedwig can have a different identity in every server where it is used. Run
`/setprofile` in the server you want to customize to update the bot's
server-specific:

* Avatar
* Banner
* Bio
* Name style

These profile changes belong to the current server only. Customizing Hedwig in
one server does not change its profile in any other server.

  <Card title="Start with the basics" icon="flag" href="/start-here">
    Add Hedwig, test that it can respond, choose a prefix, and complete the
    recommended first-run checklist.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Customize the setup" icon="sliders" href="/setup">
    Use `/setprofile` for Hedwig's server identity, then configure logs,
    protection, and member-facing systems.
  </Card>

<Info>
  You can use slash commands and prefix commands side by side. The `prefix`
  command itself is a message command, for example `,prefix` or `!prefix`.

  <Step title="Invite Hedwig">
    Use the **Invite Hedwig** button above, or run `/invite` if the bot is already in a server where you can use it.

  <Step title="Set the basics">
    Follow [Setup](/setup) to choose a prefix, confirm permissions, and decide which channel should receive logs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on protection">
    Start with [Security](/security/overview), then add the moderation and community systems your server needs.
  </Step>
