# Introduction

## **SnailBot Discord Bot**

SnailBot is primarily a news and utilitarian bot for Discord which enables small and large Discord communities alike to stay up to date with latest news from games across Steam and Gaijin Entertainment developed / produced products. SnailBot was originally built for War Thunder news, and has expanded into something much larger since January of 2018.
