Freesona is an open-source Discord AI bot that you run on your own infrastructure. Choose an AI provider, configure a persona, and control optional modules in Discord. Your provider and hosting choices determine available capacity and cost.

Open source Self-hosted Discord AI

​
Your bot.
Your infrastructure.

Shape the persona, select a provider, and choose which features your server needs. Freesona runs on your host, while requests to your selected AI provider are processed by that provider.

01 / A message, routed

​
Your setup, your request path.

01 / Discord

A message arrives in your server with its conversation context.

02 / Freesona

The bot assembles the persona and relevant memory or knowledge for the request.

03 / Your provider

Freesona sends the request to the AI provider you selected.

The diagram is simplified. Data handling depends on the provider and integrations you enable.

02 / Made of parts

​
One character. More than one setting.

Keep persona, memory, provider, and modules as separate choices. Change one without locking the rest in.

Shape a persona

Edit structured persona fields with /setpersona and save named presets.

Keep memory distinct

Conversation history, user facts, and Character Memory serve different roles. Canon and retrieved knowledge add separate context.

Choose a provider

Configure a supported provider and switch the active provider or model at runtime.

Configure optional modules

Enable or disable features such as moderation, media, autonomy, and knowledge tools.

03 / Provider choice

​
Bring the model you prefer.

Built-in provider adapters include Gemini, OpenAI, Ollama, NVIDIA NIM, Azure AI Foundry, Groq, and OpenRouter. Freesona also supports custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

  • OpenAI
