FAQ

Getting started#

How do I get started?#

Invite AETHON, run /setup panel to choose your language and channels, then send your first goal with /agent.

Which languages are supported?#

AETHON supports English, Spanish, French, German and Italian. Messages in a server, including private replies, and slash command descriptions and choice labels use the server language, English by default. An administrator can change it with /settings language. Direct messages use your saved language preference or your Discord language when supported.

Agent & projects#

Can I use AETHON without the AI agent?#

Yes. /setup template builds a complete server structure from a ready-made blueprint without AI, and audits, backups and restores have their own commands (/audit, /backup, /restore).

Can I preview changes first?#

Yes. Use dry_run to review a plan before execution; Execute re-inspects and re-validates the server first. Sensitive operations can also require approval.

What happens if a task is interrupted?#

Projects and task state are persisted. After a restart the recovery flow reconciles interrupted work through the idempotency ledger instead of blindly repeating it.

How do I review activity?#

Use /server dashboard, /projects, /tasks, /usage and the AETHON audit trail with /audit history.

What if an operation’s outcome is unknown?#

The task is blocked with UNKNOWN_OUTCOME instead of being retried. An admin checks Discord and then uses /tasks force_retry if it is safe.

Security#

Can AETHON ban members automatically?#

No. Bans are CRITICAL operations that always need a human approval, are never allowed in automations and are excluded from progressive moderation.

Can a message in my server give AETHON orders?#

No. Only the administrator’s request is an instruction. Member messages, files, channel names and tool results are treated as data, and any plan still goes through validation, the Permission Guard and approvals.

Who can approve risky operations?#

HIGH risk operations need an AETHON admin and CRITICAL ones the server owner. Approvals are bound to the exact operation and resource state, and they expire.

Why can’t AETHON change a role?#

Discord only lets bots manage roles below their highest role, and never roles managed by an integration. Move AETHON’s role above the roles it should manage.

How is my server’s data protected?#

Each server’s data is isolated from every other server. Webhook tokens are encrypted and never shown by commands or the audit trail, and tokens and keys are removed from logs.

Plans#

How do I get PRO?#

PRO is a monthly subscription for one server, sold on aethonbot.com. Online checkout opens soon; the Pricing page shows the prices and what each plan includes. When the subscription ends, the server returns to FREE. A claim of payment, a message or a command never activates PRO.

Can server administrators change plans or limits?#

No. Plans, prices and limits are set by the AETHON team and are the same for every server on the same plan. Administrators can check their usage with /usage.

What happens to extra servers on FREE?#

A FREE account gets AETHON in one server. Additional servers owned by the same user are marked limited and the agent refuses work there until the plan allows it.

Can I undo changes?#

Backups and restores are available on every plan (/backup, /restore backup). With PRO, /projects rollback reverts a project’s changes and /restore checkpoint restores a single checkpoint; irreversible operations are reported as such.
