# SHAI — Discord

> Where SHAI lives in Discord (Contract C item C22): /shai in a channel it has been invited into or in a direct message, approvals as buttons that resolve the same approval row the dashboard, SMS, voice, Slack and Teams resolve, files and page links posted back as links, and scheduled tasks delivered to a channel. Every reply is ephemeral by default, because a Discord server is usually a room full of people who did not ask.

## How SHAI connects to it
SHAI talks to it directly, with the key you paste. It is one of the tools SHAI has written up — what it costs, why it matters, what breaks without it — as `discord` in the tool guide.

## What it needs
a key you paste, in Setup or on /connections.

## Where that was read
