Discord Discontinues Experimental AI Chatbot Clyde - **Discord is [shutting down](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50414/how-to-fix-an-iphone-x-that-keeps-crashing-shutting-down-randomly-after-updating-ios) Clyde, its** [**AI chatbot**](https://www.mindstick.com/account/649463/conversational-ai)**, at the end of November.** - **The chatbot will no longer be available for use in DMs, Group DMs, or server chats after December 1st.** - **Discord's decision to discontinue Clyde may be due to the chatbot's limited testing and the company's focus on other [AI features](https://www.mindstick.com/news/4540/microsoft-tests-new-ai-features-in-paint-snipping-tool-and-notepad).** Discord is making the surprising move to discontinue its AI chatbot, Clyde. The experimental chatbot, which was introduced earlier this year, will be **[shut down](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/108505/what-to-do-if-your-computer-won-t-shut-down)** at the end of **November**. This decision comes as Discord continues to explore various AI features and position its platform as a hub for AI developers. Discord's support note indicates that Clyde will be "**deactivated**" at the end of the month. After December 1st, users will no longer be able to interact with **Clyde in DMs, Group DMs, or server chats.** The reason for Clyde's sudden closure remains unclear. It's possible that Discord may reintroduce Clyde in the future as a **paid Nitro-only feature**. Alternatively, the company may have concluded from its testing period that an integrated AI chatbot is not necessary for its service. Despite the shutdown of Clyde, Discord remains committed to exploring [AI capabilities](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/114965/how-will-advancements-in-mobile-processor-ai-capabilities-change-everyday-app-functionality).
