Read full description

The platform's business model appears to be a freemium one. Core features are available for free to enhance Discord communities, while revenue is likely generated through premium subscriptions that unlock advanced features and customization options. Tatsu serves a global user base of community managers and members on the Discord platform, aiming to improve user retention and interaction within servers.

The core product is the Tatsu.gg bot, which integrates directly into Discord servers. Its features include a virtual pet that users can raise, a customizable profile card, a user-to-user trading system, and a furniture system for decorating a virtual house. The bot encourages participation by rewarding active users with XP and credits, which function as an in-game currency. This system creates a meta-game within a Discord server, providing a compelling reason for users to return and interact with the community.
