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. It consolidates all essential guild operations into a single Discord bot paired with a powerful web dashboard. This tool is built for guild leaders, officers, and raid organizers who manage communities in games like Black Desert Online (BDO), Throne and Liberty, and numerous other MMOs on the roadmap. The core value proposition is simplicity and depth: manage unlimited members with no per-seat fees, schedule events and signups, track attendance automatically through Discord voice, and control access with over 130 granular officer permissions. For Black Desert Online, Co-GM goes significantly deeper, offering AI-powered features such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to read gear screenshots and extract gear score, AP, DP, and class automatically. It also tracks PvP performance from combat logs, runs AI fight analysis per player, and schedules node wars. The Pro tier adds a DKP and blind loot auction system, a drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support. The platform is free forever for unlimited members with no credit card required, making it accessible for guilds of any size. It is built by the same team behind throney.gg, a sister site dedicated to Throne and Liberty guild management, ensuring a deep understanding of MMO community needs.

Roster Management with AI Gear OCR

This feature eliminates manual data entry for guild rosters. Co-GM allows for unlimited member tracking across all characters, alts, and recruits. For Black Desert Online, it includes a game-specific AI OCR system that reads gear screenshots uploaded by members. It automatically extracts and records gear score, AP, DP, and class, keeping the roster accurate and up-to-date. Importing existing rosters from tools like GuildYapper is a one-click process, saving hours of administrative work for guild leaders.

PvP Analytics and AI Fight Analysis

Designed for competitive guilds, this feature tracks and analyzes player performance in PvP battles. By reading combat logs from node wars and sieges, Co-GM generates real-time statistics including kills, deaths, kill/death ratios, and kill streaks. The AI fight analysis goes deeper, providing per-player verdicts on performance, identifying top performers, and visualizing fight momentum with kill timelines. This data helps officers make informed decisions about roster composition and strategy.

Event Scheduling and Attendance Tracking

Co-GM streamlines the entire lifecycle of guild events. Officers can create and schedule events like node wars, sieges, or raids directly within the Discord bot or web dashboard. Members can sign up with a single click, and attendance is tracked automatically through Discord voice channel activity. This eliminates the need for manual roll calls and provides accurate attendance records, showing trends over time. The system integrates seamlessly with the DKP and loot features for reward distribution.

130+ Granular Officer Permissions

Managing a large guild requires delegation, and Co-GM provides a comprehensive permission system to support it. With over 130 granular permissions, guild leaders can assign specific roles and access levels to officers, raid leaders, and recruiters. Permissions can be set for actions like managing rosters, creating events, viewing analytics, running loot auctions, and editing member profiles. This ensures that the right people have the right access without compromising security or control.

Managing a Black Desert Online Guild for Node Wars

A guild leader in BDO uses Co-GM to prepare for weekly node wars. They first import the guild roster using the one-click GuildYapper import. Members upload their latest gear screenshots, and the AI OCR automatically updates gear scores, AP, and DP. The leader schedules the node war event, and members sign up through Discord. During the war, the Co-GM Logger tracks every kill and death. After the war, the leader reviews the PvP analytics, identifies top performers using AI fight analysis, and uses the DKP system to distribute loot rewards to the most active members.

Coordinating Multi-Guild Alliances for Large-Scale PvP

An alliance leader overseeing multiple guilds uses the Pro tier's multi-guild support to manage the entire operation from one dashboard. They can view combined rosters, track attendance across all guilds, and schedule joint events. The leader uses the party builder to drag-and-drop members from different guilds into balanced parties for sieges. The granular permission system allows them to grant different access levels to officers in each guild, ensuring smooth coordination without overstepping boundaries.

Tracking Attendance and Activity for a Casual MMO Guild

A guild leader for a game like WoW Classic or Final Fantasy XIV uses Co-GM to improve member engagement. They set up recurring raid events with signups. Attendance is tracked automatically via Discord voice, eliminating the need for manual checking. The leader reviews the attendance dashboard to see trends over the past weeks, identifying members who are consistently absent. They use this data to have constructive conversations with inactive members or to identify reliable core raiders for promotion.

Running a DKP and Loot System for a Raiding Guild

A raid leader in a progression-focused guild uses Co-GM's Pro features to manage loot distribution fairly. They configure a DKP system where members earn points for attending raids and killing bosses. During a raid, when loot drops, the leader initiates a blind loot auction through the bot. Members bid their DKP in secret, and the highest bidder wins the item. All transactions are logged in the dashboard, providing a transparent history of DKP earnings and spending, which prevents disputes and keeps the guild focused on progression.

Is Co-GM free to use?

Yes, Co-GM is free forever for unlimited members. The free tier includes core features like roster management, event scheduling, attendance tracking, and basic analytics. There is no credit card required to sign up. For advanced features like DKP and blind loot auctions, the drag-and-drop party builder, and multi-guild support, there is a Pro tier available for $10 per month per guild, which includes a 14-day free trial.

Which games does Co-GM support?

Co-GM is currently live for Black Desert Online (BDO) with full features including gear OCR, PvP analytics, and node war scheduling. Throne and Liberty is supported via the sister site throney.gg. The platform has a roadmap for future support including World of Warcraft Classic, Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars 3, Albion Online, Warframe, and several other MMOs. The priority for new game support is driven by community demand.

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

The AI gear OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a feature specifically built for BDO. Members simply upload a screenshot of their gear window into the Discord bot or web dashboard. The AI automatically scans the image, identifies the gear pieces, and extracts the character's gear score, AP, DP, and class. This data is then recorded in the guild roster, keeping it up-to-date without any manual data entry from officers.

What is the Pro tier and what does it include?

The Pro tier costs $10 per month per guild and adds several advanced features. It includes a fully functional DKP (Dragon Kill Points) system and blind loot auctions for fair item distribution. It also provides a drag-and-drop party builder for creating balanced groups, and multi-guild support for managing alliances. All Pro tiers come with a 14-day free trial, allowing you to test all features before committing.
