Co-GM

Co-GM is a unified guild management platform designed to replace the 5 to 10 disconnected Discord bots and spreadsheets that MMO guild leaders currently juggle. It consolidates roster management, event scheduling, attendance tracking, and advanced analytics into a single Discord bot paired with a comprehensive web dashboard. The product is built for guilds playing Black Desert Online (BDO) and Throne and Liberty, with support for World of Warcraft Classic, Final Fantasy XIV, and seven additional games on the roadmap. Co-GM’s core value proposition is eliminating tool fragmentation, offering unlimited member management with no per-seat fees, and providing game-specific intelligence. For BDO, it features AI-powered optical character recognition (OCR) to extract gear scores, AP, DP, and class from screenshots, along with PvP analytics from combat logs and AI fight analysis per player. The platform includes over 130 granular officer permissions, ensuring precise control over who can access what. Co-GM is free forever for unlimited members with no credit card required, and a Pro tier at $10 per month per guild adds advanced features like DKP and blind loot auctions, a drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support. Developed by the team behind throney.gg, Co-GM is already used by real guilds such as Enclave, TheMilkies, and Corrupt, with live data tracking over 719 kills and 450 deaths in a single node war.

AI-Powered Gear OCR for Black Desert Online

Co-GM’s advanced optical character recognition reads gear screenshots from Black Desert Online to automatically extract critical player stats, including gear score, AP, DP, and class. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures rosters are always up to date. The system can track five additional stats beyond the core four, providing guild leaders with real-time insights into member progression. This feature is particularly valuable for BDO guilds where gear score directly impacts node war eligibility and siege performance. The OCR processes images uploaded directly to Discord, making it seamless for officers to maintain accurate records without leaving the chat.

Real-Time PvP Analytics and AI Fight Verdicts

Co-GM tracks PvP performance from combat logs during node wars and sieges, offering per-player analysis with AI-generated fight verdicts. The platform logs every kill and death in real time, displaying a kill timeline, fight momentum charts, and comeback swings. For example, a recent war logged 719 kills and 450 deaths for a 48-player alliance against 241 enemies. The AI identifies standout moments, such as a player achieving 4 kills in 5 seconds or a 22-kill streak. This data helps guild leaders evaluate individual contributions, adjust strategies, and recognize top performers, all within the dashboard.

Attendance Tracking via Discord Voice

Attendance tracking is automated by detecting which members join Discord voice channels during guild events. No manual roll calls are needed, as Co-GM logs presence data over time and displays trends, such as a 92% attendance rate over 14 days with a +4% trend. This feature integrates with event scheduling to correlate attendance with signups, giving officers a clear picture of engagement. The system tracks attendance across multiple weeks, showing percentages from 60% to 100%, and can be used to enforce participation requirements for loot distribution or roster spots.

130+ Granular Officer Permissions

Co-GM provides over 130 role-based permissions that allow guild leaders to delegate tasks with precision. Permissions cover every action from roster edits and event creation to DKP adjustments and analytics access. Officers, raid leaders, and recruiters each get tailored access, preventing unauthorized changes while empowering team members. This granularity ensures that large guilds with complex hierarchies can operate efficiently, as each role can be configured to see only what is necessary. The permission system is accessible via the web dashboard and syncs with Discord roles for seamless management.

Streamlining BDO Node War Management

A Black Desert Online guild leader uses Co-GM to manage node wars by scheduling events, tracking attendance via Discord voice, and analyzing PvP performance from combat logs. The AI fight analysis identifies top performers and key moments, such as a 21-kill comeback swing, allowing the leader to adjust party compositions for future wars. The gear OCR ensures all members meet minimum gear score requirements, while the 130+ permissions let officers handle signups and loot distribution without leader intervention. This replaces five separate bots and spreadsheets, saving hours per week.

Automating Loot Distribution with DKP and Blind Auctions

Guilds using the Pro tier can implement DKP systems and blind loot auctions for rare items. Co-GM tracks earned and spent DKP points, showing current totals like 2,450 DKP with a rank of #3 in the guild. During raids or node wars, the platform runs blind auctions where members bid without seeing others’ bids, ensuring fair distribution. The system integrates with attendance data to award DKP based on participation, reducing disputes and manual bookkeeping. This use case is critical for progression-focused guilds in BDO and Throne and Liberty.

Managing Multi-Guild Alliances

Co-GM supports multi-guild management, allowing leaders to oversee several guilds from one dashboard. For example, a player leading an alliance in BDO can track rosters, events, and PvP analytics for each guild separately while viewing combined data for alliance-wide wars. The platform’s unlimited member capacity means no restrictions on total players across guilds. The Pro tier enables this functionality, with each guild costing $10 per month. This use case is ideal for alliance leaders who need a unified view of multiple groups without logging into separate tools.

Onboarding New Recruits with Automated Roster Imports

Recruitment officers use Co-GM to import rosters from GuildYapper in one click, instantly populating the system with member data. The gear OCR then processes screenshots to fill in gear scores and classes, while attendance tracking monitors new recruits’ engagement over the first 14 days. The permission system allows recruiters to manage trial members without full officer access. This streamlined onboarding reduces administrative overhead and helps guilds quickly assess new players’ fit, as seen with guilds like Eclipse and Statistic that use Co-GM for their recruitment pipelines.

Is Co-GM free to use?

Yes, Co-GM is free forever for unlimited members with no credit card required. The free tier includes core features like roster management, event scheduling, attendance tracking, and 130+ permissions. For advanced features such as DKP, blind loot auctions, the drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support, the Pro tier is available at $10 per month per guild with a 14-day free trial.

Which games does Co-GM currently support?

Co-GM is fully live for Black Desert Online, with features including gear OCR, PvP analytics, AI fight analysis, and node war scheduling. Throne and Liberty is supported via the sister site throney.gg. The roadmap includes World of Warcraft Classic, Final Fantasy XIV, Albion Online, Warframe, and seven more games, prioritized by community demand.

How does the AI gear OCR work for BDO?

The AI-powered OCR reads gear screenshots uploaded to Discord, automatically extracting gear score, AP, DP, class, and five additional stats. It processes images in real time and updates the roster without manual entry. This feature is built specifically for Black Desert Online and is designed to handle various screenshot formats and resolutions common in the community.

Can I integrate Co-GM with my existing Discord server?

Yes, Co-GM operates as a single Discord bot that integrates directly with your server. It syncs with Discord roles for permission management and uses voice channels for attendance tracking. The web dashboard provides a complementary interface for detailed analytics and configuration. Setup requires no technical expertise, and the platform provides guided onboarding for new guilds.
