Python
pip install -r requirements.txt
python bot.py
Docker
docker build -t discord-exporter .
docker run -d --env-file .env discord-exporter
The bot will connect to your Discord server and start listening for commands.

Generate your first digest

In any channel where the bot has access, run:
!digest 24

The digest will be saved as Obsidian-formatted markdown with YAML frontmatter, making it perfect for knowledge management workflows.
