**Vanguard** is the AI-powered engagement bot in the Ascent Pantheon — built so your community has someone to talk to, learn from, and grow with.

## What it does
- **AI conversations** that hold context across a thread, switch personality per channel, and remember individual users via per-user memory extraction
- **Document Q&A** — upload PDFs, markdown, CSV, or text and your members can ask questions against your knowledge base
- **Configurable personas** per server or per channel (default, friendly, professional, gamer, mentor, custom)
- **Optional passive listening** so Vanguard chimes in naturally instead of only when pinged
- **Switchable model providers** — bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, or use the included shared pool on Pro/Ultimate

## Engagement & community
- XP / leveling with configurable role rewards and rank cards
- Currency / economy with shop, daily rewards, and gambling mini-games
- Trivia, coinflip, wordchain, and other casual games
- Starboard, polls, giveaways, reaction roles, temp voice channels
- Birthdays, scheduled messages, auto-responders, custom commands

## Social & content
- Social feeds for YouTube, Twitch, Twitter/X, Instagram, Reddit, and generic RSS
- AI-powered welcome DMs and join messages
- Embeds & rich text studio for branded server announcements
- Configurable achievements + Mee6-style stat voice channels

## Why Vanguard is different
- Configured from a real web dashboard at **[ascents.gg](https://ascents.gg)** — not from inside Discord
- Part of the Ascent Pantheon, so it pairs with **Sentinel** (security & moderation) and **Beacon** (tickets) without overlap
- Free tier is genuinely usable; AI conversations and shared model access unlock on Pro

## Get started
1. Invite Vanguard with the button above
2. Open **[ascents.gg/dashboard](https://ascents.gg/dashboard)**
