Discord servers in 2026: what 41,000 people asked an AI to build

From September 25, 2025 to November 4, 2026, AiGuild's AI server builder received 78,097 requests from 41,554 Discord accounts, 24,560 of them in the last 90 days. Each request is a sentence describing a community. This report counts what those sentences ask for, what the AI built, and which bot systems servers actually use.

Every figure is a total computed inside AiGuild's database. No request text, server name or user leaves it, and any category with fewer than 20 accounts or servers is merged into “Other”.

Roblox is the most requested game, ahead of Minecraft

31.8% of requests in the last 90 days name at least one game. Roblox appears in 11.5% of all requests (2,431 accounts), almost twice as often as Minecraft (6.0%). Fortnite (3.7%) and FiveM (3.7%) come next; adding the requests that mention GTA without FiveM (3.3%), GTA V roleplay reaches 7.0%.

Since launch, the top three are Roblox, Minecraft and FiveM.

Half of the requests are about gaming, and roleplay is the biggest niche

Beyond game titles, 50.2% of requests are about gaming. Roleplay comes up in 12.2% of them, and police, emergency-services or military roleplay alone in 4.8%: FiveM police departments, Roblox's Emergency Hamburg… Then come servers for friends (8.8%), content creators (5.8%) and shops (5.6%).

More than half of the generated servers are in French

AiGuild started in France, and it shows: 55.4% of generated servers are set in French, 23.7% in English and 9.0% in Portuguese. German (4.2%), Spanish (2.9%) and Polish (2.9%) follow. Keep this in mind when reading the games and topics: they reflect a mostly French- and English-speaking audience.

A typical AI-built server: 33 channels, 7 roles, 7 categories

Keeping the server, or starting over

Since October 31, 2026, a generated server can be added on top of an existing one without deleting anything. Over the first five days, 9.6% of the generated servers applied from the website used that option (47 of 488 applications, on 34 servers). The others replaced the existing structure, with a backup to roll back.

The bot systems servers actually use

Levels are on by default: members earned XP on 14,979 servers in the last 90 days. Systems that need an admin to act are rarer: members opened 7,848 tickets on 2,842 servers, the AI answered tickets on 1,644 servers, and 204 servers launched a giveaway.

What server admins ask /ai to do

With /ai, an admin describes a change in one sentence; AiGuild proposes it and applies it only after a click on Confirm. In its first five days (October 31, 2026 – November 4, 2026), /ai received 7,633 requests from 1,004 servers. Those messages are encrypted in our database and this report does not read them: it only counts the 2,852 changes admins confirmed, on 285 servers.

Creating channels is far ahead (49.2% of confirmed changes), followed by roles and categories.

Method

Period
September 25, 2025 to November 4, 2026 (UTC). “Last 90 days”: August 7, 2026 to November 4, 2026. /ai, AutoMod shields and the “add without deleting” option: since their release on October 31, 2026.
Source
AiGuild's production database, opened read-only. A request is one use of the AI server builder, on the website or with the Discord command, successful or not (99.8% succeeded in the last 90 days). 17,787 distinct accounts in 90 days, 41,554 since launch.
Generated servers
The structure saved with the request (83.2% of requests in the last 90 days; Discord requests did not save one before June 2026). Size = categories, channels and roles in that structure, including any edits.
Games and topics
Keyword lists in seven languages, matched case-insensitively against the request text. A request can fall into several categories. Lists below.
Languages
The language setting of the generated structure.
Systems in use
Activity traces: a ticket opened, an AI reply to a ticket, a non-empty weekly XP leaderboard, a giveaway launched, a button-roles panel posted, an AutoMod rule created by AiGuild. Settings the bot creates by default (welcome, rules, member counters) are not counted.
Privacy
Only totals leave the database: no request text, server or user name, or identifier is read outside it or published. Categories with fewer than 20 accounts (games, topics, languages) or servers (/ai, AutoMod) are merged into “Other”, or dropped when “Other” itself stays under that threshold.
Limits
These are AiGuild users, not a sample of all of Discord: French and English speakers and gaming communities are over-represented. Keywords miss typos and can mistake a channel name for a topic. One person may send several requests. Data from deleted accounts is gone.
Reproducibility
Every number on this page comes from one versioned script (scripts/rapport-2026.mjs in the AiGuild website repository), run with fixed dates, and was recomputed a second time by an independent check. A button-roles panel or AutoMod shield removed since then disappears from the database, so a later run can give slightly lower numbers on those two lines.
Keyword lists

Regular expressions applied to the lower-cased text (\b = word boundary, | = or, ? = optional). “except”: the request does not count if it also contains that pattern.
