🌟 Baxi – The Privacy-Focused Discord Bot

Welcome to Baxi, a modern and versatile Discord bot designed to make your server safer, smarter, and easier to manage.
Baxi combines powerful moderation tools, a customizable verification system, and an global chat, all wrapped in an easy-to-use web dashboard.

One of Baxi’s core principles is privacy:
➡️ We collect as little data as possible and store only what is strictly necessary for the bot’s functionality (see Privacy).
You stay in full control at all times.

✨ Features

• 🤖 AI-Powered Chat Filter (SafeText + AI)
  Baxi comes with two powerful filtering systems to keep your server safe:

  • SafeText – our own lightweight bad-word detection system (open source: SafeText on GitHub)
  • AI Filter – a large language model (LLM) hosted on our own servers, designed to detect more complex or harmful content beyond simple keyword checks.

• 🌍 Global Chat
  Connect multiple servers together with an inter-server chatroom.

  • Perfect for community networking or cross-server events.
  • (Note: This feature is only available when using the official hosted bot. Self-hosted bots cannot join the global chat network.)

• ✅ Flexible Verification System
  Secure your server with customizable onboarding methods:

  • Button only
  • Button + CAPTCHA
  • Button + Password

• 🎟️ Ticket System
  Let your members easily create support tickets – ideal for help requests or moderation reports.

• ⚙️ Web Dashboard
  Every system and feature can be enabled, disabled, and fully configured via the dashboard.
  No confusing commands – just point, click, and customize.

(Fun minigames are currently disabled, but may return in future updates.)

🚀 Getting Started

Invite the Official Bot

The simplest way to get started:
👉 Invite Baxi to your server

Self-Hosting

If you prefer to run Baxi yourself:

git clone https://github.com/AvoCloud-net/Baxi.git
cd Baxi
pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Open config/auth.py and add your Bot Token and other required values.

   • Fields marked with #NOT NEEDED are optional.

2. Start the bot:

   python main.py
   

⚠️ Important for Self-Hosting:

When running Baxi yourself, there are some limitations compared to the official hosted version:

• 🌍 Global Chat
  Not available when self-hosting, since it requires access to the official Baxi network.

• 🤖 Chat Filter

  • SafeText: Supports public usage, but requires a Public API Key.
    You can request one from us if you want to use SafeText in your own hosting environment.
  • AI Filter: Needs to be hosted by you.
    Recommended setup: OpenWebUI with Ollama running the Llama-Guard 3 model.

• ✅ Other Features (verification system, tickets, dashboard, etc.) work fully without restrictions.

🔒 Privacy First

We believe your data belongs to you.
Baxi is built around the principle of minimizing data collection and maximizing transparency.

The only information stored is:

• 📝 Chat Filter Logs – Only if the filter is enabled, and only for messages that get removed.

• ⚙️ Server Configuration – Your dashboard settings so Baxi remembers your preferences.

• 🖼️ Global Chat Images – Images sent in the Global Chat, so they can be delivered across servers.

✅ We do NOT log or store any other messages, personal data, or private information.
✅ No tracking, no selling, no hidden data collection.
✅ All systems are optional – you decide what features to use, and what data (if any) is stored.

With Baxi, privacy is not an afterthought – it’s our foundation.
