Co-GM

Co-GM is a comprehensive guild management platform designed to replace the chaotic mix of 5 to 10 disconnected Discord bots and spreadsheets that MMO guild leaders currently juggle. It consolidates all essential guild operations into a single, intelligent Discord bot paired with a powerful web dashboard. The platform eliminates member limits, allowing guilds of any size to manage their rosters, schedule events, track attendance automatically through Discord voice channels, and assign granular permissions with over 130 distinct officer roles. Co-GM is built specifically for the unique needs of MMO guilds, starting with deep, native support for Black Desert Online (BDO). For BDO, it features advanced AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (OCR) that reads gear screenshots to extract gear score, AP, DP, and class data automatically. It also tracks PvP performance from combat logs, runs AI-driven fight analysis for individual players, and schedules node wars. For Throne and Liberty, the platform is supported through its sister site, throney.gg, with a robust roadmap that includes WoW Classic, Final Fantasy XIV, Aion 2, and more, prioritized by community demand. The core product is free forever for unlimited members with no credit card required, making it accessible for every guild. A Pro tier, priced at $10 per month per guild, adds advanced features like a DKP and blind loot auction system, a drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support, all backed by a 14-day free trial.

AI-Powered Gear OCR and Analytics

Co-GM's most advanced feature is its AI-driven Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system, built specifically for Black Desert Online. When a member uploads a gear screenshot, the AI automatically reads and extracts their gear score, AP, DP, and class, populating the guild roster without manual data entry. This data is then aggregated into real-time analytics dashboards showing gear score distribution, class composition, and trends over time, giving officers immediate insight into their guild's overall strength and readiness for PvP content.

Automated Attendance and Event Management

The platform automates the tedious process of tracking member participation. It integrates directly with Discord voice channels to auto-detect which members show up for events, eliminating the need for manual roll calls or sign-up sheets. Guild leaders can create and schedule events, manage sign-ups, and track attendance over weeks and months. The dashboard displays attendance trends, such as a 92% presence rate over 14 days, with visual charts showing weekly fluctuations. This data is crucial for identifying reliable members and those who may need encouragement to participate more.

Granular Permission System with 130+ Roles

Co-GM offers an exceptionally detailed permission system, providing over 130 distinct officer permissions. This allows guild leaders to assign role-based access with surgical precision. Different ranks such as Guild Master, Officer, Raid Leader, Recruiter, or Loot Master can be given specific permissions for actions like viewing rosters, editing member notes, managing DKP, scheduling events, or accessing analytics. This granularity ensures that sensitive operations, such as loot distribution or member kicks, are only available to trusted individuals, while other officers can still contribute to daily management tasks.

DKP and Blind Loot Auction System (Pro)

For guilds that use a Dragon Kill Points (DKP) system to distribute loot fairly, the Pro tier provides a fully integrated solution. Officers can track DKP earned and spent by each member across node wars, sieges, and guild league events. The system supports blind loot auctions, where members bid on items without seeing others' bids, promoting fairness and strategy. The dashboard shows current DKP balances, total earned, total spent, and member rankings, all updated in real-time. This eliminates the need for external spreadsheets or addons, centralizing loot management within the Co-GM ecosystem.

Streamlining BDO Node War Management

A Black Desert Online guild leader can use Co-GM to manage every aspect of node wars from a single interface. The leader schedules the war through the dashboard, and the bot automatically notifies members. During the war, the CoGM Logger tracks every kill and death in real-time. After the war, the AI fight analysis provides a detailed breakdown per player, including kill/death ratios, kill streaks, and fight momentum charts. The leader can then use the attendance data to assign DKP rewards and the gear OCR data to optimize party compositions for the next war.

Onboarding and Tracking New Recruits

A recruitment officer can leverage Co-GM's roster management to streamline the onboarding process. New members can be added with no member limits, and their gear can be instantly evaluated through the AI OCR feature by simply uploading a screenshot. The officer can track each recruit's class, gear score, and attendance across trial events. The granular permission system allows the officer to have limited access to only the recruitment-related features, while the Guild Master retains full control over final approval and role assignments.

Managing Multi-Guild Alliances and Alt Characters

For guild leaders who manage multiple guilds or alliances, the Pro tier's multi-guild support is invaluable. A leader can switch between different guild dashboards to manage rosters, events, and DKP for each one independently. The platform also handles alt characters efficiently, allowing members to link multiple characters to a single profile. This provides a complete picture of a player's contribution across all their characters, which is essential for large-scale PvP events where players may switch classes or bring different characters to different wars.

Fair Loot Distribution in Raiding Guilds

A raid leader in a guild using DKP can run blind loot auctions directly through Co-GM after a successful boss kill. The leader posts an item, and members submit their DKP bids without seeing what others are offering. The system automatically determines the winner and deducts the DKP from their balance. This process is transparent, auditable, and eliminates disputes. The leader can also use the attendance tracking to verify that only members who participated in the raid are eligible to bid, ensuring a fair and merit-based loot system.

Co-GM operates on a freemium model. The core product is free forever for unlimited members with no credit card required. The free tier includes roster management, event scheduling, attendance tracking, and analytics. The Pro tier is priced at $10 per month per guild and adds advanced features including the DKP and blind loot auction system, a drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support. New users can try the Pro tier free for 14 days before committing to a subscription.

Which games does Co-GM currently support?

Co-GM is currently live and fully supported for Black Desert Online (BDO), with deep features like gear OCR, PvP analytics, and node war scheduling. Throne and Liberty is supported through the dedicated sister site, throney.gg. The platform has a robust roadmap for future support, including World of Warcraft Classic, Final Fantasy XIV, Aion 2, Guild Wars 3, Albion Online, Warframe, and several other MMOs. The development priority for new games is determined by community demand.

Is Co-GM really free, and what are the limitations?

Yes, the core Co-GM platform is free forever with no credit card required. The free tier includes unlimited member slots, roster management, event scheduling, attendance tracking via Discord voice, and access to the web dashboard with analytics. The primary limitation of the free tier is that it does not include the Pro features, such as the DKP and blind loot auction system, the drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support. There are no per-seat fees or hidden costs for the free version.

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

The AI OCR feature is designed to simplify roster management. A guild member takes a screenshot of their in-game gear and equipment window and uploads it to the Co-GM Discord bot or web dashboard. The AI model, trained specifically on BDO's UI, automatically scans the image and extracts key data points: gear score, AP (Attack Power), DP (Defense Power), and class. This data is then instantly populated into the guild's roster and analytics dashboards, eliminating the need for manual data entry and ensuring accurate, up-to-date member information.

What are the 130+ officer permissions used for?

The extensive permission system allows guild leaders to create highly specific roles for their officer team. Instead of giving all officers full administrative access, leaders can assign granular permissions. For example, a Recruitment Officer can be given permission to view and edit the roster, send invites, and run analytics on class composition, but not access DKP management or event scheduling. A Loot Master can be given full control over DKP and auctions but cannot kick members or change guild settings. This ensures security and accountability within the leadership structure.
