Web search, links and research
With Web search on, Pup can search the web, open public pages and PDFs, including links members share, and run short calculations. Answers that rely on a source mark it inline, such as [1], and end with a compact Sources line. Link previews are suppressed for those answers. For questions that need several searches or careful comparison, Pup switches to research mode. It first posts a short acknowledgement in its own words, keeps typing while it reads and cross-checks sources for up to three minutes, then edits that message into the finished answer. Longer answers may continue in up to two follow-up messages. Pup does not add emoji reactions while it works. Pup only opens ordinary public web addresses. It refuses private, local and internal network addresses, non-standard ports and very large files.Questions about the server and Pup
Pup can look up the server’s description, rules channel, upcoming scheduled events and roles, and find members by name. Its channel list only includes channels that are public or part of the current conversation, and that the member asking can see. Pup also searches the documentation for its own version, so questions such as “how do I set up raid mode?” link to the matching page. Pup can also search its retained server event logs and moderation cases. It can list or count recorded events for a member, such as joins and leaves, and read case outcomes and reasons. Pup checks the asking member’s current server access for each search: Logging view for event logs, Moderation view for ordinary cases and reasons, and Moderation administer for restricted staff notes. The server owner keeps their normal verified owner access. Replies appear in the conversation channel, where other members may see them. Event counts describe what Pup recorded, not a complete Discord history. A missing log does not establish that an event never happened. A requested ban does not establish that Discord completed it. This search does not cover support tickets, anonymous submissions or security incidents.History search
History search is off by default. When enabled, Pup can search earlier messages and read other channels, threads and pasted message links, including reading a channel from its very first message. Search only covers messages Pup stored for learning, so channels where learning is off are never searched, and deleted messages are excluded. Pup’s answer is visible to everyone in the channel, not only to the member who asked. Pup therefore only shares messages from a channel when the member asking can read it and the channel is either visible to @everyone or part of the current conversation: the current channel, its parent channel, or a public thread in it. Content from other private channels and private threads is never quoted, even to members who can see it. Reading the current conversation does not require History search.Reminders and polls
With Reminders and polls on, members can ask Pup to remind them later. Pup mentions only that member at the due time, replying to the original message when it still exists. Reminders must be at least one minute and at most one year ahead, and each member can have up to 25 scheduled reminders. Members can ask Pup to list or cancel their own reminders. Turning the setting or the Assistant off cancels reminders that come due while it is off. Pup can also create a poll in the current channel for the member who asks. The server’s poll settings still apply to that member, including creator roles, allowed channels, durations and limits; if a rule prevents the poll, Pup explains why. Pup never takes moderation actions, though it may suggest them.Shared server memory
Each server has its own memory. Pup can use a relevant memory in any channel where it answers, while raw nearby conversation stays within its original channel or thread. Discord member and channel IDs preserve attribution when a name changes. Choose how selective memory should be:- Community keeps established server decisions, events, responsibilities and terminology, while generally skipping personal details.
- Balanced also keeps durable interests, preferences and ongoing projects that help future conversations. This is the default.
- Social allows broader continuity around members and recurring conversations, while still skipping disposable chatter.
