# Buildcord

> Buildcord is a visual, no-code builder for Discord bots. You draw what a bot does as flows (slash commands, server events and schedules, each wired to steps), design the messages it sends, and deploy. Buildcord hosts and runs the bot. It's free for bots that only answer slash commands; bots that stay connected to Discord are on the $8/month Paid plan.

- Product: a web app for building Discord bots without code, at https://app.buildcord.dev.
- Who it's for: Discord server owners, moderators and community builders who want a custom bot without writing or hosting code, and developers who want to build one faster.
- How a bot is built: flows on a canvas. Each flow starts from a trigger (a slash command, a server event, a schedule, a button press, or another flow) and runs steps connected by arrows.
