Co-GM

Co-GM is a unified guild management platform designed to replace the fragmented ecosystem of 5 to 10 disconnected Discord bots and spreadsheets that MMO guild leaders currently juggle. It consolidates all essential guild operations into a single Discord bot paired with a comprehensive web dashboard, eliminating the need for multiple third-party tools and manual data entry. The platform is purpose-built for the specific needs of MMO guilds, starting with deep integration for Black Desert Online (BDO) and expanding to other major titles through sister sites and an active roadmap. Co-GM handles roster management with no member limits, event scheduling and signups, automatic attendance tracking through Discord voice channels, and a granular permission system with over 130 distinct officer permissions. For BDO guilds specifically, Co-GM reads gear screenshots using AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to automatically extract gear score, AP, DP, and class information. It also tracks PvP performance from combat logs, runs AI-driven fight analysis for individual players, and provides dedicated node war scheduling tools. The Pro tier adds advanced features including DKP tracking with blind loot auctions, a drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support. Throne and Liberty is supported via the sister site throney.gg, with WoW Classic, FFXIV, Aion 2, and other titles on the development roadmap. Co-GM is free forever for unlimited members with no credit card required, making it accessible for guilds of any size.

AI-Powered Gear OCR for BDO

Co-GM integrates advanced AI-powered Optical Character Recognition specifically trained for Black Desert Online gear screenshots. When a guild member uploads a gear screenshot, the system automatically reads and extracts key statistics including gear score, AP (Attack Power), DP (Defense Power), and class information. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures roster statistics are always current and accurate. The OCR system handles various screenshot formats and resolutions, providing reliable data extraction that updates member profiles in real time within the web dashboard and Discord bot.

PvP Analytics and AI Fight Analysis

The platform provides comprehensive PvP analytics by ingesting combat logs from BDO node wars and sieges. Co-GM tracks kills, deaths, kill/death ratios, and kill streaks per player across every war engagement. The AI fight analysis feature goes further by evaluating individual player performance, identifying key moments such as multi-kill sequences and momentum swings that determine battle outcomes. The analytics dashboard displays kill timelines, fight momentum charts, and class-specific performance metrics, giving guild leaders actionable data for roster optimization and strategy development.

130+ Granular Officer Permissions

Co-GM offers over 130 distinct permission settings that allow guild leaders to create highly specific role-based access controls for officers, raid leaders, recruiters, and other staff members. Unlike simple admin/member dichotomies in other tools, Co-GM enables per-action control over roster management, event creation, DKP adjustments, loot distribution, attendance viewing, analytics access, and member communications. This granularity ensures that sensitive operations are restricted to appropriate personnel while still empowering lower-level officers with the tools they need to perform their specific duties.

Automatic Attendance Tracking via Discord Voice

Attendance tracking is fully automated through Discord voice channel integration. When guild members join designated voice channels for events, Co-GM automatically logs their presence and duration without requiring manual roll calls, reaction roles, or spreadsheet entries. The system tracks attendance trends over multiple weeks, displaying participation rates and trends in the web dashboard. This feature is particularly valuable for guilds that require minimum attendance thresholds for raid participation or loot eligibility, as it provides objective, verifiable data that eliminates disputes.

Streamlining BDO Node War and Siege Management

Guild leaders running BDO node wars and sieges use Co-GM to coordinate their entire war operation from a single interface. They schedule wars through the platform, automatically track member attendance via Discord voice, and upload combat logs for post-war analysis. The AI fight analysis provides per-player performance reports that identify top performers, kill streaks, and critical momentum shifts. Leaders can review class composition data to optimize party assignments for future wars, while the analytics dashboard shows historical performance trends across multiple war seasons.

Managing Multi-Guild Alliances and Rosters

Guild leaders who manage multiple guilds or alliances use Co-GM's multi-guild support in the Pro tier to oversee all their organizations from one account. The platform handles separate rosters with no member limits per guild, allowing leaders to track alts, recruits, and cross-guild memberships. The 130+ permission system enables delegation of specific responsibilities to officers in each guild while maintaining centralized oversight. This is particularly useful for BDO alliances that coordinate node war strategies across multiple guilds sharing the same war zone.

Conducting DKP-Based Loot Distribution

Guilds using DKP systems for loot distribution leverage Co-GM's blind loot auction functionality in the Pro tier. The system tracks DKP earned through attendance, PvP performance, and other activities, then automatically deducts points when members win loot bids. Blind auctions ensure fair distribution by hiding competing bids until the auction closes, preventing strategic bidding behaviors. The web dashboard displays current DKP standings, earned and spent totals, and historical loot distribution records, giving all members transparent access to the system.

Onboarding and Managing New Recruits

Recruitment officers use Co-GM to streamline the onboarding process for new guild members. When a recruit joins, officers can import their BDO roster data from GuildYapper with one click, and the AI gear OCR automatically extracts their gear score, AP, DP, and class from uploaded screenshots. The permission system allows recruiters to assign trial member roles with limited access, while tracking their attendance and participation during the probation period. The platform's no-member-limit policy means guilds can accept as many recruits as needed without additional costs.

Is Co-GM really free for unlimited members?

Yes, Co-GM offers a completely free tier that includes unlimited members with no cap on roster size. There is no credit card required to sign up, and the free tier includes core features such as roster management, event scheduling, attendance tracking, Discord voice integration, and the 130+ permission system. The free tier does not include DKP and blind loot auctions, the drag-and-drop party builder, or multi-guild support, which are part of the Pro subscription.

How does the AI gear OCR work for BDO screenshots?

The AI gear OCR is trained specifically on Black Desert Online's UI and gear display format. When a member uploads a gear screenshot through the Discord bot or web dashboard, the system processes the image using computer vision and machine learning algorithms to identify and extract numerical values for gear score, AP, DP, and the character's class. The extracted data is automatically updated in the member's profile and reflected in roster analytics. The system handles various screenshot qualities and resolutions commonly used by BDO players.

What games does Co-GM currently support and what is coming next?

Co-GM is fully live and operational for Black Desert Online with all features including gear OCR, PvP analytics, AI fight analysis, and node war scheduling. Throne and Liberty is supported through the sister site throney.gg, which provides similar guild management features tailored to that game's mechanics. The development roadmap includes World of Warcraft Classic, Final Fantasy XIV, Aion 2, Guild Wars 3, Where Winds Meet, Albion Online, Warframe, Pax Dei, Bitcraft, and Scars of Honor. Game priority is determined by community demand.

How does the Pro subscription work and what is included?

The Pro subscription costs $10 per month per guild and includes a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Pro adds DKP tracking with blind loot auctions for fair loot distribution, a drag-and-drop party builder that respects game-specific role requirements, and multi-guild support for managing multiple organizations from one account. The Pro tier does not charge per seat or per member, so guilds of any size pay the same flat monthly fee. All Pro features are available immediately upon starting the trial.
