Overview
Discord AI assistant for the TOAKS studio. Claude API integration, real-time voice, image and file processing, and Batch API.
Paco started as a simple Discord bot for routing questions to Claude. It grew into the operating layer of the studio — the thing that handles intake, transcription, brief drafts, image generation requests, and async task management across the team.
The core architecture: a Node.js bot connected to the Claude API, with tool-use enabled for web search, image processing, file handling, and Higgsfield generation. Voice integration uses Whisper for transcription and ElevenLabs for response audio. Three voice profiles for different contexts.
The Batch API integration was the unlock — it let Paco process large research requests and multi-step content jobs asynchronously, with results delivered back to the right Discord channel when complete. The studio now runs a meaningful percentage of its research and first-draft work through Paco.
