Alan, your operator
Alan in your Discord server. Same shop, different doorway.
Add Alan to your Discord server, then DM or @-mention to log counts, finish tasks, and check stock. Same tools as Slack and the app.

The new way
How this works in the future of MRP.
In a legacy system, marking a task done means leaving Discord, opening another app, and logging in. With TuringDock, Alan lives in the Discord server your team already has open.
How it works
Count from the bench
DM count PCB-RAW 47 and Alan logs it, shows the variance, and asks what to do next.
Start, pause, mark done
DM done 47 PCB-100 and Alan posts the stock movements and flips the Gantt bar instantly.
Same Alan, three doorways
Discord, Slack, or the web sidebar: it’s one Alan, one set of tools. Alan only replies where you messaged.
Common questions
- What can Alan do in Discord?
- The same eleven tools as the in-product AI: log counts, mark tasks done, query stock, draft schedules, summarize reports, forecast demand. Slash-commands and plain language both work, in DMs or @-mentions.
- How do I install Alan to my Discord server?
- As a workspace admin, open Settings, Integrations and click Add to Discord. Pick a server and authorize Alan in about ten seconds. It's then reachable from any channel your workspace members are in.
- Can I have both Slack and Discord connected?
- Yes. Some teams run ops in Discord and customer success in Slack. Alan replies only in the surface the message came from and never cross-posts, so there's no notification spam.
- Do operators need a TuringDock account to DM Alan?
- Yes. Alan only responds to Discord users linked to a TuringDock workspace member, and a first message from an unlinked user starts a one-tap link flow. This keeps unrelated members from triggering shop-floor actions.
- What Discord permissions does Alan need?
- View Channels, Send Messages, Send Messages in Threads, Read Message History, Use Application Commands, and Add Reactions. Alan never requests admin, role management, or moderation permissions.
- Does Alan train on our Discord messages?
- No. Alan uses Anthropic's Claude API in standard inference mode, so your data isn't used to train models. It only reads messages you DM or @-mention it, and ignores everything else in the server.
- Is Alan in Discord live?
- It's in private preview as of May 2026. To join the first cohort, reach out at hello@turingdock.com or install from Settings, Integrations once your workspace is enrolled.
