General Questions
Is Kythia free?
Kythia is currently free while in early access! It's sold as a premium product on BuiltByBit — pricing may be introduced in the future. Get it now while it's free!
Can I add Kythia to multiple servers?
Yes! There are no limits on how many servers you can add Kythia to (as long as your license permits it). Each server has its own independent settings.
Does Kythia support Spotify?
Yes — Kythia can play Spotify tracks and playlists through the music system.
Is Kythia's economy global or per-server?
The economy (KythiaCoins, bank, market) is global — your balance follows you across all servers with Kythia. The leveling/XP system is per-server — each server has its own independent leaderboard.
How do I see all of Kythia's commands?
Use /help for a full list of commands organized by category.
Setup & Permissions
Kythia says "I don't have permission to do that"
This means Kythia is missing a Discord permission. Check:
- Go to Server Settings → Roles and find the Kythia role
- Make sure it has the permissions it needs (see the Invite & First Steps page for the full list)
- Make sure the Kythia role is above any roles it needs to manage
Commands aren't showing up in my server
Slash commands can take up to 10 minutes to appear after Kythia is added. If they still don't appear:
- Kick and re-invite Kythia using the official invite link (make sure to include
applications.commandsscope) - Try restarting your Discord client
Kythia joined but isn't responding
- Make sure Kythia has Send Messages and Read Message History permissions in that channel
- Check that the channel doesn't have special permission overrides blocking Kythia
- Try running
/pingto verify it's online
How do I give Kythia admin so all features work?
In the invite flow, grant Administrator permission. This is the easiest way to ensure nothing is blocked. Alternatively, grant the specific permissions listed in the Invite Guide.
Features
How do I disable a feature I don't want?
Use /set features <feature> status: Disable. See the Server Settings page for all toggleable features.

Make sure:
/welcomer in-channelis set to a valid channel/welcomer in-styleis set tocomponents-v2- Kythia has Embed Links and Send Messages permissions in that channel
Music isn't playing / Kythia won't join the voice channel
Make sure:
- You are already in a voice channel before using
/music play - Kythia has Connect and Speak permissions in that voice channel
- The voice channel isn't full (check the user limit)
Reaction roles aren't working
Make sure:
- Kythia's role is higher than the roles you're assigning in the role hierarchy
- Kythia has Manage Roles permission
- The message you attached reaction roles to still exists
Verification captcha isn't being sent
- If you configured a verification channel, make sure Kythia has Send Messages there

Run /tempvoice repair to recreate missing channels and relink the configuration. If the panel message was deleted, run /tempvoice setup again.
