Beginner Guide: Hello Qiqi!

An apprentice and herb gatherer at Bubu Pharmacy. "Blessed" by the adepti with a body that cannot die, this petite zombie cannot do anything without first giving herself orders to do it. Qiqi's memory is like a sieve. Out of necessity, she always carries around a notebook in which she writes anything important that she is sure to forget later. But on her worst days, she even forgets to look at her notebook...

—— Description from the Official Website for Qiqi

Despite the fact that Qiqi's life is a bit tragic, Qiqi still tries to live each day conscientiously. Qiqi's memory ability may not be ideal all the time, but she will carefully jot down every word you say in her notebook. That's why I develop the Qiqi Bot, to honor everyone who tries to live each day to the fullest.

—— Words from the Developer

So, let's start with some vibe from Liyue, and start the journey with Qiqi ~

Getting Started with Qiqi

How to Invite Qiqi?

Qiqi can be invited directly from Top.gg or Discord Bot List. If you couldn't visit these two websites, you could also use this invite link to invite Qiqi to your server.

About Permission

Qiqi Bot has a default set of permissions that it critically need to perform the best in your server. But if you don't want it to have to include moderation functionalities, you could uncheck these permissions below while inviting Qiqi.

• Manage Server

• Manage Roles

• Manage Channels

• Kick Members

• Ban Members

• Manage Emojis and Stickers

• Moderate Members

• Mute Members

• Deafen Members

The Manage Messages permission is strongly recommended since when you search to play a piece of music by Qiqi, it will ask you to choose among options. With this permission, Qiqi could remove your choice after searching, which will make your text channel much cleaner and nicer.

Official Support Server

Supported Language

Qiqi has just switched the design to be a multi-language bot. Therefore, it currently supports:

• English (Default)

• Simplified Chinese

Qiqi will automatically uses the language that is the same as your Discord language. But if you want to manually change the language, check the usage of /setlang command.

Too Many Commands, Where to Start?

Since Qiqi is a powerful bot mainly focusing in music functionalities, music commands will be firstly introduced.

Music

Qiqi supports playing music from following sources:

• YouTube (including YouTube Music)

• Bilibili

• Netease Music

• Spotify

There are two ways to use /play command:

• Play by searching keywords: /play the keyword, Qiqi will provide your best 5 matches, and you could simply enter a number to choose the track on YouTube.

  Tip
  

  You don't need to enter /play 1 for the choice. Simply enter 1 is all good.

  Also, Qiqi will automatically join the voice channel by /play command, so you don't need to call /join first.

• Play by direct url: /play url

And the music, coming right up!

Next, we could start with some other music commands:

• Pause the music: /pause

• Unpause the music: /unpause

• Skip the current song: /skip (several ways of skipping, see more in the documentation)

• Check the current queue: /queue

• Check the playing history: /history

• Repeat the song/queue:

  • Repeat only the current playing song: /repeat single

  • Repeat all the songs in the queue (orderly): /repeat all

  • Repeat all the songs but choosing randomly: /repeat random

  • Turn off the repeat: /repeat off

Hmm... Seems all right! But what if I would like to play music from different sources with one move?

You could try to build a custom playlist by your will! And Qiqi can load all the songs (from different supported sources) in the custom playlist to the queue with one single command. Since this is a beginner guide, I won't go overboard with the details on these (but it is not difficult at all). You could check custom playlist documentation for more details.

All music software has a "favorite" list that I can store my favorite songs, does Qiqi have one?

Definitely! Qiqi supports cross-server personal favorite list. And Qiqi will remember your favorite list for you! Check more information in music favorites

Genshin Impact

Qiqi could also check information like characters, weapons, talents about Genshin Impact. And Qiqi has its own calculator which supports all levels calculations ($1-90$$1-90$​). Check Genshin Impact commands for more details.

Moderation

Qiqi also supports moderation functionalities for you to better manage the server! In addition to the traditional moderation commands like /kick, /ban, /unban, ...etc, Qiqi also supports some powerful commands like:

• Server blacklist (add/remove/view)

  • Add a user to the blacklist: /blacklist add <@user> <optional: reason>

  • Remove a user from the blacklist: /blacklist remove <@user>

  • View server blacklist: /blacklist

• Temporary mute user (across all text/voice channels in the server)

  • Temporary mute a user: /tempmute <@user> <duration>

  • Unmute a user manually: /unmute <@user>

And many more!

Other Commands

Qiqi also have tons of commands for fun! They are simple to use with quick and nice response. The most popular one is probably /fortune daily command which you could compete with others for getting more "chosen luck"! Check more by using / in the text channel or viewing the documentation

Write at the End

There are many functionalities & commands that are powerful and convenient from Qiqi, and they are not hard, but it would be too much to include all of them in a beginner's guide.

Thus, here are some supportive resources that you could utilize while using Qiqi:

• Help command:

  • General purpose: /help

  • Detailed description for specific command: /help <command name>

• Documentation

• Support Server

Lastly, hope you enjoy the music and have fun with Qiqi Bot. And...

I like coconut milk.
