Co-GM

Co-GM, also known as Co-Guild Master, is a comprehensive guild management platform designed to replace the 5 to 10 disconnected Discord bots and spreadsheets that MMO guild leaders currently juggle. This all-in-one solution combines a single Discord bot with a powerful web dashboard to streamline every aspect of running a gaming guild. Co-GM handles roster management with no member limits, event scheduling and signups, automated attendance tracking through Discord voice channels, and over 130 granular officer permissions for precise control. The platform is built deep for Black Desert Online (BDO), featuring advanced AI-driven tools such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR) that reads gear screenshots to automatically extract gear score, AP, DP, and class information. It also tracks PvP performance from combat logs, runs AI fight analysis per player, and schedules node wars. For Throne and Liberty, Co-GM operates through its sister site throney.gg, with support for WoW Classic, FFXIV, Aion 2, and more games on the roadmap. Co-GM is free forever for unlimited members with no credit card required, making it accessible for guilds of all sizes. The Pro tier adds advanced features like DKP and blind loot auctions, a drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support for $10 per month per guild with a 14-day free trial. Built by the team behind throney.gg, Co-GM is already trusted by real guilds including Enclave, TheMilkies, Metamorphosis, Eclipse, Corrupt, Statistic, Family, and RAT.

AI-Powered Gear OCR and PvP Analytics

Co-GM uses advanced AI-driven Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to automatically read gear screenshots from Black Desert Online players. This technology extracts critical data including gear score, AP, DP, and class information without any manual data entry. Beyond gear tracking, the platform analyzes PvP performance by ingesting combat logs from node wars and sieges. It provides per-player fight analysis, kill/death ratios, kill streaks, and momentum tracking, giving guild leaders deep insights into each member's battlefield effectiveness. This data is presented in real-time dashboards that update as wars are logged, enabling data-driven roster decisions.

130+ Granular Officer Permissions

Guild leaders can assign precise role-based access to officers, raid leaders, recruiters, and other staff members through over 130 granular permissions. This system allows you to control exactly who can view rosters, manage events, approve applications, run loot auctions, access analytics, and modify guild settings. Instead of giving full administrative access, you can tailor permissions to each role, ensuring that your leadership team has the tools they need without compromising security. This feature is essential for large guilds with complex hierarchies and multiple specialized officer roles.

Automated Attendance Tracking via Discord Voice

Co-GM eliminates manual roll calls by automatically detecting which guild members are present in Discord voice channels during events, node wars, and raids. The system tracks attendance over time, generating reports that show participation trends across weeks and months. Guild leaders can see at a glance who is consistently showing up and who is falling behind, with metrics like "14 days: 92% present" displayed directly in the dashboard. This automation saves officers countless hours previously spent on manual check-ins and spreadsheet updates, while providing accurate, verifiable attendance data.

DKP and Blind Loot Auction System

The Pro tier of Co-GM includes a comprehensive DKP (Dragon Kill Points) system integrated with blind loot auctions for distributing raid and war rewards. Officers can track DKP earned and spent for each member, with current balances, earned totals, and spending history displayed clearly. The blind auction system allows members to bid on loot without seeing others' bids, promoting fair and strategic allocation of high-value items. This feature is fully automated, handling bid collection, winner determination, and point deduction, removing the complexity and potential for disputes that often accompany manual loot distribution.

Streamlining BDO Guild Management

Black Desert Online guild leaders use Co-GM to consolidate their entire management workflow into one tool. Instead of juggling separate bots for gear tracking, attendance, PvP stats, and event scheduling, they manage everything from a single dashboard. The AI gear OCR automatically updates member gear scores from screenshots, while the PvP analytics provide detailed breakdowns of node war performance. Node war scheduling integrates with the event system, and attendance is tracked automatically through Discord voice. This unified approach saves hours of administrative work each week and provides a single source of truth for all guild data.

Managing Multi-Guild Alliances

Guild alliances running coordinated operations across multiple guilds use Co-GM's multi-guild support in the Pro tier to manage their entire alliance from one platform. Alliance leaders can view rosters, track attendance, and analyze PvP performance across all member guilds simultaneously. The party builder allows for drag-and-drop composition of mixed-guild parties with game-specific role requirements. This is particularly valuable for large-scale node wars and sieges in BDO where coordination between allied guilds is critical for success. The unified analytics provide a complete picture of alliance strength and member performance.

Fair Loot Distribution in Raiding Guilds

Raiding guilds in games like WoW Classic and FFXIV use Co-GM's DKP and blind loot auction system to ensure fair and transparent distribution of raid loot. Officers set up loot auctions for each item, and members place blind bids using their earned DKP. The system automatically calculates winners, deducts points, and logs all transactions. This eliminates favoritism, reduces disputes, and provides a clear audit trail for all loot decisions. Members can see their DKP balance and history at any time, fostering trust and encouraging participation in raids to earn more points.

Tracking Attendance and Engagement Across Events

Guild leaders use Co-GM to monitor member engagement over time through automated attendance tracking. The system records who attends each scheduled event, node war, or raid via Discord voice detection, and compiles statistics showing attendance trends over weeks and months. Leaders can identify reliable core members who consistently attend, as well as casual members who may need encouragement or replacement. This data informs roster decisions, promotion criteria, and membership reviews. The attendance reports also help guilds demonstrate activity levels required for in-game guild benefits or alliance participation requirements.

Is Co-GM really free for unlimited members?

Yes, Co-GM offers a completely free tier that includes unlimited members with no credit card required. The free plan provides full access to core features including roster management, event scheduling, attendance tracking, and the 130+ officer permissions. There are no per-seat fees or member caps, making it ideal for guilds of any size. The free tier is supported by the Pro subscription, which adds advanced features like DKP, blind loot auctions, party builder, and multi-guild support. You can use the free tier indefinitely without any obligation to upgrade.

What games does Co-GM currently support?

Co-GM is fully live for Black Desert Online (BDO), with deep integration including AI gear OCR, PvP analytics from combat logs, AI fight analysis, and node war scheduling. For Throne and Liberty, Co-GM operates through its sister site throney.gg with similar functionality. The platform has WoW Classic, Final Fantasy XIV, Aion 2, and more games on the roadmap, prioritized by community demand. Other games being considered include Where Winds Meet, Guild Wars 3, Albion Online, Warframe, Pax Dei, Bitcraft, and Scars of Honor. New game support is added based on community voting and demand.

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

Co-GM's AI-powered Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology reads gear screenshots uploaded by guild members. When a member submits a screenshot of their equipped gear, the AI automatically extracts and records their gear score, AP (Attack Power), DP (Defense Power), class, and up to five additional stats. This eliminates the need for manual data entry or self-reporting. The system updates member profiles instantly, and the data is displayed in the dashboard showing gear score distribution across the guild, average gear scores, and class composition charts. This feature is exclusive to BDO support.

What is included in the Pro tier and how much does it cost?

The Pro tier costs $10 per month per guild and includes a 14-day free trial. Pro adds three major features: a fully integrated DKP and blind loot auction system for fair loot distribution, a drag-and-drop party builder with game-specific role requirements for composing raid groups, and multi-guild support for managing multiple guilds or alliances from one account. All other core features, including unlimited members, roster management, event scheduling, attendance tracking, gear OCR, PvP analytics, and 130+ permissions, are available in the free tier. You can upgrade to Pro at any time without losing your existing data.
