A Discord bot that picks the game for your group based on what everyone owns, what you're all in the mood for, and what your group has loved before.
What slows a group down isn't picking the game — it's figuring out who's in, what they own, and what they're up for. The bot collects all that automatically.
No "I don't own that." No "we just played this." No dead multiplayer servers. Every recommendation actually fits your group, right now.
Most groups lose the best parts of game night between sessions — who carried, what landed, the running jokes. LFG Bot keeps all of it and brings it back when it fits.
@lfg-bot @-mention the bot in any channel for a natural-language chat. Ask about your group's games, who carried last Tuesday, what to play tonight — the bot answers with the right tool for the question.
/lfg-bot start Kick off game night. Auto-detects voice channel, event thread, or posts an RSVP gather. /lfg-bot link <steam-id> Connect your Steam account. Accepts a Steam64 ID or vanity URL. Profile must be public. /lfg-bot friend Private alternative to link — bot DMs you a single-use Steam quick-invite. No public profile needed. /lfg-bot refresh-link Re-pull your library after a Steam sale or after fixing a previously private profile. /lfg-bot leaderboard Server MVP standings. Pass game:<name> to see who carries that specific game. /lfg-bot lore Browse the canon — your group's most notable game-night moments, auto-collected and paginated for re-reading. /lfg-bot game-history Your group's full game night history — games, feedback summaries, vote tallies, last-played dates. /lfg-bot session-history A past session's recap — who played, what won the vote, and a summary of the night's feedback. /lfg-bot server-setup Configure the bot for your server — forum channel, reminder timing, fallback channel (admin only). /lfg-bot status At-a-glance: your Steam link, who else on the server is linked, library overlap, recent session count. /lfg-bot help In-Discord help covering all commands and common issues. /lfg-bot unlink Remove your linked Steam account. Bot stops reading your library. /lfg-bot link/lfg-bot startIt started in 2020. My friends and I set up a weekly Discord game night to stay connected when no one was leaving the house. The group is mixed — different tastes, different levels of investment in gaming — and the slowest part of every night turned out to be finding something we all owned and were all in the mood for.
One night we ran out of patience before we ran out of options. We gave up and agreed to try again the next week. After enough of those nights, I built this.
LFG Bot is the answer to that one friction. It sees what your group actually owns, asks what you're all up for tonight, and walks the whole crew through the decision before anyone loses interest. It's the tool I wish we'd had back in 2020 — and if your group looks anything like mine, I hope it makes your next game night start in five minutes instead of forty-five.
Yes. LFG Bot is free to add and free to use. Bootstrapped, no upsell yet.
Everyone joining a session links their Steam account once
with /lfg-bot link. If your profile is private,
use /lfg-bot friend instead — the bot DMs you a
single-use Steam quick-invite, so you never have to make your
library public.
By default the bot only recommends games everyone owns. If
your group's overlap is thin, a server admin can flip the
who-needs-to-buy setting on — that widens
recommendations to games most (but not all) of you own, so a
holdout or two doesn't stall the night.
Steam only, for now. Want Epic, Xbox / Game Pass, or console support? Hop into the support Discord and make your voice heard — it helps us prioritize what's next.
Your Steam library is scoped per server. The bot only uses your games in a server where you've linked, and what you own is never shared with or visible to other servers — even ones you and the bot are both in. Linking in one place doesn't expose your library anywhere else. The install also asks only for the minimum permissions needed to run slash commands and post in your session.
Three things: your Steam library (fetched after you link your account), your Discord identity (user ID + display name + your votes and clicks in sessions), and your group's session history. The session conversation goes through a third-party AI service to generate recommendations, and converse with you. Beyond that, nothing is sold or shared. Server admins can uninstall any time to stop all of it. Full details — including how to export or delete your data — are in our Privacy Policy.
Server Settings → Integrations → LFG Bot → Remove. The bot leaves the server immediately. Stored session history for that server stays in cold storage and can be deleted on request.
No — LFG Bot is a closed-source product. The team focuses on the bot's UX over maintaining a public codebase.
