Requirements

Askilator is currently in BETA. While it is already operating in a few high-traffic servers there is always room for improvement. However all future changes should happen without data loss.

Askilator also has a hosted variant which is currently available on request while in BETA. Requesting Askilator to be in your server can be done in the Single-Purpose Bots Discord (in Askilator's #request channel).
