Kite vs. BDFD

A Free Bot Designer for Discord Alternative

In Bot Designer for Discord (BDFD) you write your commands in BDScript, its own scripting language. In Kite you build them by connecting blocks in a visual editor, so you don't need to learn a language. Kite is free and open source.

Why Use Kite Instead of BDFD

Blocks Instead of Script

You don't need to learn BDScript functions or syntax. You drag in blocks like Ban member or Send message and connect them.

See How Your Command Works

Each command is shown as connected blocks, so you can see every step and every condition.

Let AI Build It

Describe what a command should do and Kite's AI adds and connects the blocks for you.

Open Source

Kite's code is on GitHub. You can see how your bot runs, or host Kite yourself.

Build Commands by Connecting Blocks

This is the /ban command from the moderation template. Each block is one step, and the lines between them set the order. You can import it with one click and change it however you like.

How to Switch From BDFD

You keep your Discord application, so your bot keeps its name, avatar and servers.

  1. 1

    Stop Your Bot

    Turn your bot off in BDFD, so the two don't answer at the same time.

  2. 2

    Add It to Kite

    Copy the bot token from the Discord Developer Portal, sign in to Kite and click on Create app.

  3. 3

    Build Your Commands

    Import a template, build commands from blocks or describe them to Kite's AI. Then deploy them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kite really free?

Yes. Your bot is hosted 24/7 for free. Premium plans give you higher limits, like more servers and commands, but you don't need one to run a bot.

Can I import my BDScript code?

No. Kite doesn't use BDScript. You build your commands again with blocks, or describe them to Kite's AI.
