Getting started
SILV AI is a self-hosted web app that puts an AI agent — powered by Claude through your own Anthropic API key — in charge of your Discord and Telegram bots. You instruct it in plain English; it reads, replies, monitors keywords, and runs scheduled tasks on your behalf.

SILV AI itself is free and self-hosted — you pay Anthropic directly for the API usage your agent generates.
Quickstart
Get your keys
Create an Anthropic API key (required), then set up a Discord bot and/or a Telegram bot — either one is enough, and you can add the other later.
Open the app
Head to /console on your self-hosted instance. Everything happens from that single dashboard.
Paste & connect
Paste your Anthropic key and any bot tokens, then hit connect. Keys are validated with a minimal ping and held in server memory only — never written to disk.
Start instructing
Talk to SILV in plain English — it takes it from there. Try the prompts below, or anything in the same spirit.
