Co-GM

Co-GM is a comprehensive guild management platform designed to replace the chaotic collection of 5 to 10 disconnected Discord bots and spreadsheets that MMO guild leaders currently juggle. It consolidates all essential guild operations into a single Discord bot paired with a powerful web dashboard, eliminating the need for multiple, fragmented tools. The platform is built for serious MMO guilds, initially launching with deep support for Black Desert Online (BDO) and expanding to other popular titles. Its core value proposition is simplicity and power: one tool handles roster management with no member limits, event scheduling and signups, automatic attendance tracking through Discord voice channels, and a granular permission system with over 130 officer roles. For BDO specifically, Co-GM leverages AI-powered OCR to read gear screenshots and automatically extract gear score, AP, DP, and class information. It also tracks PvP performance from combat logs, runs AI-driven fight analysis per player, and schedules node wars. The platform is free forever for unlimited members with no credit card required, making it accessible for guilds of any size. Pro tier adds advanced features like DKP and blind loot auctions, a drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support for $10 per month per guild with a 14-day free trial.

AI-Powered Gear OCR

Co-GM uses advanced AI optical character recognition to analyze gear screenshots from Black Desert Online. When a member uploads a screenshot, the system automatically extracts critical statistics including gear score, AP, DP, and class. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures your roster always reflects accurate, up-to-date gear information. The OCR is trained specifically on BDO's interface, providing reliable results that officers can trust for making roster decisions and tracking member progression over time.

PvP Analytics and AI Fight Verdicts

The platform provides deep PvP analytics by ingesting combat logs from node wars and sieges. It tracks kills, deaths, kill streaks, and momentum shifts during battles, presenting this data in an intuitive timeline and dashboard. Beyond raw statistics, Co-GM runs AI fight analysis per player, generating verdicts on individual performance. This allows guild leaders to identify top performers, spot areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions about roster composition and strategy for future wars.

Comprehensive Permission System

Co-GM offers over 130 granular officer permissions, allowing guild leaders to assign precise roles and responsibilities to their leadership team. Whether you need a recruiting officer who can only manage applications, a raid leader who can schedule events, or a treasurer who handles DKP adjustments, the system provides that level of control. This ensures that sensitive operations like loot distribution or roster edits remain restricted to trusted individuals while still empowering your broader leadership team to contribute effectively.

Drag-and-Drop Party Builder

The Pro tier includes a visual, drag-and-drop party builder that respects game-specific role requirements. Officers can quickly compose balanced parties for node wars, sieges, or dungeon runs by dragging member names into party slots. The system automatically validates party composition against class roles, ensuring you have the right mix of tanks, healers, and damage dealers. This feature saves significant time during event preparation and reduces the chance of fielding an unbalanced group.

Managing a Black Desert Online Guild During Node War Season

A BDO guild leader preparing for a node war season uses Co-GM to schedule wars, track member attendance through Discord voice channels, and analyze PvP performance from combat logs. The leader reviews AI-generated fight verdicts for each member to identify the strongest players for key positions. Gear OCR automatically updates the roster as members upgrade their equipment, ensuring the leader always knows the guild's average gear score and can make informed decisions about who to field for maximum effectiveness.

Transitioning from Multiple Disconnected Tools

A guild currently using five separate Discord bots for signups, attendance, loot tracking, roster management, and event scheduling decides to consolidate. The guild leader imports their existing roster from GuildYapper with one click, sets up the single Co-GM bot, and configures over 130 permissions for their officer team. Within an hour, all operations are centralized. Members no longer need to interact with multiple bots or check spreadsheets, and officers have a single dashboard to manage everything from recruitment to war strategy.

Running a Multi-Guild Alliance with DKP and Loot Auctions

An alliance leader overseeing three allied guilds in BDO uses the Pro tier's multi-guild support to manage all operations from one account. Each guild maintains its own roster, event schedule, and DKP pool. During joint node wars, the leader uses the drag-and-drop party builder to compose mixed-alliance parties. After the war, blind loot auctions are conducted through the system, with DKP automatically deducted from winning bidders. The leader can view analytics across all guilds to identify top performers and coordinate strategy.

Tracking Attendance and Engagement for a Growing Guild

A guild experiencing rapid growth uses Co-GM's automatic attendance tracking to monitor member engagement without manual roll calls. The system detects who joins Discord voice channels during scheduled events and logs their presence. Officers can view attendance trends over weeks and months, identifying members who are consistently present versus those who are at risk of becoming inactive. This data informs decisions about promotions, loot priority, and roster cuts, ensuring the guild maintains a core of active, engaged players.

What games does Co-GM currently support?

Co-GM is fully live and shipped for Black Desert Online, with deep features including gear OCR, PvP analytics, AI fight analysis, and node war scheduling. Throne and Liberty is supported through the sister site throney.gg. The platform has a robust roadmap for additional games including Where Winds Meet, Guild Wars 3, World of Warcraft Classic, Final Fantasy XIV, Albion Online, Warframe, Pax Dei, Bitcraft, Aion 2, and Scars of Honor. The order of new game releases is prioritized based on community demand.

Is Co-GM really free for unlimited members?

Yes, Co-GM is completely free forever for unlimited members with no credit card required. The free tier includes core features like roster management, event scheduling and signups, attendance tracking through Discord voice, and the full permission system with over 130 roles. There are no per-seat fees or member caps, making it ideal for guilds of any size. The Pro tier, which adds DKP and blind loot auctions, the drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support, is available for $10 per month per guild with a 14-day free trial.

How does the AI gear OCR work for Black Desert Online?

Members simply upload a screenshot of their gear window to Discord, and the Co-GM bot automatically processes it using advanced AI optical character recognition. The system extracts gear score, AP, DP, and class information with high accuracy. This data is then updated on the member's profile in the web dashboard, allowing officers to view the entire guild's gear distribution at a glance. The OCR is trained specifically on BDO's interface and continues to improve over time, reducing the need for manual data entry and ensuring roster accuracy.

Can I import my existing guild data into Co-GM?

Yes, Co-GM provides easy import options for guilds transitioning from other tools. For BDO specifically, you can import your entire roster from GuildYapper with a single click. The platform is designed to make migration as seamless as possible, so you can replace your existing collection of multiple Discord bots and spreadsheets quickly. Once imported, all subsequent operations including roster updates, event scheduling, and attendance tracking happen natively within Co-GM.
