Tiko

Tiko’s Aesthetics-Focused Discord Leveling System

Tiko is a Discord bot designed to enhance member experiences in socialization and aesthetics-focused Discord servers with effortless setup.

Who is it for?

Tiko is designed for socialization-first and aesthetics based Discord servers, including social and hangout servers, E-Girl communities, decor, kawaii and other aesthetic based servers, K-Pop, anime, Genshin, Stox, Ntox, and other social first communities.

Although these communities have different themes, they often share the same core: members care about aesthetics, social identity, status, and customization. Tiko was built for servers with those priorities.

What members care about

Tiko may include everything you'd expect from a basic Discord leveling bot, such as xp for sending messages, custom level up roles for reaching a specific level, and the ability to customize level up messages.

But Tiko also does something more, a member may have seen generic leveling numbers hundreds of times. To make leveling with tiko worthwhile, members receive higher payouts, quests, stronger mining and fishing tools, improved lootboxes, more farm plots, and level roles as they progress.

Also, instead of relying solely on embed text lines and low-quality cards, level-ups feature a custom high-quality card that is completely consistent with each unique member's profile aesthetic.

Here is why

Our primary research: 201 responses from social Discord servers

We conducted a voluntary survey that collected 201 response records from socialization-focused Discord servers already using leveling bots. About 42% of respondents didn't care about or even notice level-ups, and only 34% said a permission gate gave them something to work toward.

The numbers shifted hard when levels actually unlocked something: 81.4% wanted rewards, features, or activities tied to progression, and 79.3% wanted a personalized card over plain text.

Of 89 respondents who had tried Tiko and another leveling bot, 65.2% rated Tiko better and 5.6% rated it worse. Worth noting: this part of the survey ran in a server that already had Tiko installed, so take it as feedback from Tiko users, not an independent head-to-head.

“It's only important if it makes you earn something, not just image permissions.”

Survey respondent

“I think levels give me some sort of meter to see how far I have come across, but yeah I think I talk more than I would have, because leveling exists. And maybe more if leveling has some advantages (even though fake, those seem to work).”

Automatic setup & Automatic level role setup

Tiko can be configured by administrators using the /setup command. Tiko has an autosetup system that analyzes what the server already has, determines where channels and roles belong, reuses existing setup when possible, and creates the missing configuration matching the server theme in less than 20 seconds. This eliminates the need for administrators to create channels, roles, and configurations themselves.

These may include Drops, Leveling, Welcome Rewards, Revival Rewards, Boost Rewards and notifications, as well as Welcome Messages.

Servers can also automatically set up leveling-specific features by using /setup, selecting the chatting channel, clicking the Fine Tune button at the bottom, selecting Setup for Leveling, and then clicking Start to begin the automatic leveling setup.

It automatically finds suitable level up or bot commands channels, detects existing level roles, reuses them when possible, and creates whatever is missing. When new roles need to be created, Tiko automatically selects a style that matches the server’s theme and arranges the roles in the proper order.

Administrators can also set up the leveling system manually if they prefer to configure it themselves.

Becoming the first Discord app to bring truly complete automatic leveling setup.

Customizable level up message

Server owners can customize the notification message, Embed content, appearance, and displayed rewards.

The Discord-native Components V2 interface provides a live preview while the notification is configured.
