Today we're announcing the retirement of two Discord bots that have served our community: Shigger Clanker and Image-Grok. Both services will be going offline in the coming weeks as we focus our resources on building the next generation of AI-powered experiences.
This decision allows us to concentrate our development efforts on more advanced features and capabilities that will better serve the evolving needs of our users. While saying goodbye is never easy, we believe this transition will ultimately lead to more powerful and innovative tools.
"Every ending opens the door to something new. By retiring these bots, we're making space for features that will push the boundaries of what's possible in Discord communities."
— The ShortGemini Team
What's happening
Shigger Clanker and Image-Grok will be taken offline in the coming weeks. The exact retirement date is pending, but users should expect these services to become unavailable soon. We encourage community members to explore alternative solutions and prepare for this transition.
Why we're making this change
As the Discord bot ecosystem continues to evolve, we've made the strategic decision to focus our engineering resources on projects that align with our long-term vision. The retirement of these bots allows us to:
- Dedicate more resources to core platform improvements
- Develop next-generation features with modern AI capabilities
- Maintain infrastructure reliability and performance across our primary services
- Respond more effectively to emerging user needs and feedback
Looking ahead
We're excited about what's coming next. The resources freed up by this transition will be channeled into new bots and features that leverage the latest AI advancements. We'll have more to share about these upcoming projects in the months ahead.
Thank you to everyone who used Shigger Clanker and Image-Grok. Your support and feedback have been invaluable as we continue to build tools that make Discord communities more engaging and capable.
