Two years ago, I built a Discord bot called SolBro to do exactly one thing: pull the most-viewed Solana meme tokens from RugCheck's API and post
them in our server. That was the whole feature set. He was barely a bot. He was a script with a Discord login.
Then the AI revolution happened.
Microsoft's Semantic Kernel SDK, Ollama, and the explosion of capable open-weight models pulled SolBro from one-trick script into something else
entirely: an agentic Discord member with memory, vision, web search, GIF reactions, document reading, and a personality I wrote in one line of
.env. The Solana feature is still in the codebase. Nobody uses it anymore. I kept it because it's the origin story.
The whole point of SolBro now is that he's not a personal AI assistant. He's not in his own tab. He lives in the Discord server my friends and I
already use, joining conversations, dropping a perfectly-timed GIF when the energy is right, looking up answers when somebody asks a question, and
once — memorably — being put on trial for taking a bribe during a hackathon he was supposed to be judging.
The full story, with the trial verdict and the full system prompt I gave him, lives on his project page.
The code is open source on github.com/devMando/SolBro — clone it, run your own, name it whatever you want,
and write your own personality. Your version doesn't have to track meme coins.
