Tux Bot
The legendary Discord companion that brought communities together during COVID, serving over 200,000 users with unparalleled social features and entertainment.
Still available to add, now serving as an AI chatbot to select servers only
Born during the unprecedented times of COVID-19, Tux emerged as a beacon of connection when the world needed it most. What started as a simple Discord bot to help friends at ASU quickly transformed into something extraordinary.
As lockdowns forced everyone online, Tux became the digital heart of countless communities. The bot's intuitive design and comprehensive feature set attracted users from around the globe, growing from a university project to a platform serving over 200,000 unique users across thousands of Discord servers.
Tux wasn't just a bot—it was a community architect. Through its sophisticated leveling system, virtual economy, and social features, it fostered genuine connections and friendships that lasted well beyond the pandemic. The more users engaged with Tux and their communities, the more rewards and features they unlocked, creating a positive feedback loop of social interaction.
Though Tux's public service ended in early 2023 due to operational costs of serving such a large user base, its legacy lives on. Today, Tux continues as an experimental AI chatbot, serving a small group of close friends and pushing the boundaries of conversational AI.
