Modules
Every module has three parts: parity (what Carl-bot can do, Nyx can do too), better (where Nyx beats Carl-bot) and new (what Carl-bot does not have). Everything that is not marked as Pro is free.
Moderation, automod, logging and security
Section titled “Moderation, automod, logging and security”Ban, kick, timeout, mute, warn and purge with cases and a modlog, logging of all Discord events with routing per event, automod with spam, censor, caps, honeypot and auto-purge rules. Better than Carl-bot: punishments via context menu and modal, warn points with decay and an escalation ladder, editable cases with undo, a complete modlog through audit-log matching (every ban, kick and timeout counts, no matter who did it), message logs with 7 to 30 days of retention. New: anti-raid incident room, anti-nuke, appeals, alt detection, phishing protection, quarantine instead of kick. Security features are never locked.
Roles, onboarding, verification and welcome
Section titled “Roles, onboarding, verification and welcome”Reaction, button and dropdown role menus as render modes of the same menu object, autoroles, timed, sticky and voice roles, welcome, join-DM and farewell messages with all Carl-bot variables. Better: a role-menu builder in Discord, combinable rules instead of exclusive modes, capacity limits with waiting lists, conditions instead of role whitelists. New: verification as a flow builder (captcha, questions, manual approval), native Discord onboarding read and written, join gate with risk score.
Tickets, modmail, forms and applications
Section titled “Tickets, modmail, forms and applications”Carl-bot has no ticket system; Ticket Tool charges for claiming, thread tickets, opening hours and automations. In Nyx all of that is free: panels as Components v2 containers, categories as objects, tickets as channels, private threads or forum posts, claiming and assignment, forms with branching, transcripts that are really stored (web viewer, search, export), limits, cooldowns and opening hours, auto-close, reports as tickets with a return channel. New: modmail with a forum inbox, SLA engine, application pipeline, ratings after closing. Pro: AI ticket autopilot and supporter copilot.
Custom commands, tags, embeds, timers and triggers
Section titled “Custom commands, tags, embeds, timers and triggers”Tags with the complete TagScript language, triggers, embed commands, timers and sticky messages. Better: tags as real slash commands with typed options, a real parser with lazy evaluation, buttons, select menus and modals from the tag, an embed studio in Discord, 500 triggers for free, timers with cron in the server’s time zone. New: persistent key-value storage, interactive flows with state, own slash commands per server, webhooks in and out. Pro: scripting sandbox.
Community: starboard, suggestions, levels, highlights, polls
Section titled “Community: starboard, suggestions, levels, highlights, polls”Starboard with own emoji and autostar, suggestions with voting and status, the complete level system (premium at Carl-bot, free at Nyx), highlights, polls, fun commands and birthdays. Better: several starboards, suggestions with buttons and duplicate check, levels with text and voice XP, multipliers and role rewards, highlights for all members, native Discord polls. New: economy, quests, achievements, seasons, a minigame suite, trivia.
Utility and integrations
Section titled “Utility and integrations”Twitch and YouTube alerts, feeds and autofeeds, reminders, giveaways, server and member info. Better: Twitch via EventSub and YouTube via WebSub for alerts within seconds, giveaways with requirements and bonus entries, reminders with time zones and snooze. New: join-to-create temp voice with an owner panel, an autofeed hub with ten sources, stats channels, server backups with versions, events with RSVP, translation via context menu. Limits only for feeds (15 free, 100 Pro), backups and storage.
Dashboard and configuration
Section titled “Dashboard and configuration”Web dashboard with Discord login, server picker and an embed builder, /config and command permissions. Better: dashboard roles per module, parity between dashboard and Discord, a universal builder for embeds and Components v2, a config audit log with undo, /setup wizards, a diagnose center, German and English down to the command names. New: server-scan onboarding, config history with rollback, scheduled config profiles. Pro: draft, review and publish, server groups with config sync, outgoing webhooks and API quotas.
Differentiators
Section titled “Differentiators”The migration importer for Carl-bot, Dyno and MEE6 with preview, rollback and shadow mode; the automation builder with if-then flows on the event bus (Free: 3 flows, Pro: 100 flows with HTTP actions); a plugin system in three stages (phase 4); a cross-server network with shared blacklists; the analytics suite (Free: 7 days, Pro: 365 days of history); user app and context menus everywhere; a Components v2 design system for every output.
Roadmap
Section titled “Roadmap”Phase 1 builds the foundation and Carl-bot parity plus tickets. Phase 2 adds the importer, cases 2.0, modmail and the Pro launch with the first AI features. Phase 3 brings the automation builder, AI automod, the scripting sandbox and analytics. Phase 4 is the platform: plugins, public API and the gateway proxy.
