# Community GM

When a member says "gm", Nova replies once per 36 hours with a morning brief of ecosystem news and your community's own feeds, matched to your ecosystem. PRO adds custom instructions and web search. Also covers the legacy /gm opt-in.

**Community GM** turns the oldest crypto ritual into a daily brief. When a member says **"gm"** in your Discord server or Telegram group, Nova greets the room back with a **good-morning message** carrying the freshest ecosystem headlines — plus updates from **your community's own sources**: RSS feeds, watched web pages, and on-chain addresses. One GM per rolling **36-hour window**, so it stays a morning moment, never spam.

> [!TIP]
> **Neutral by default — it matches YOUR community.** Nova reads your community's own ecosystem from recent chat and pulls news for *that* chain — Bitcoin, Ethereum/EVM, Solana, Stacks, Ordinals, whatever your room is actually about. Nothing is hardcoded: a Solana community gets Solana mornings, an Ethereum community gets ETH mornings. Every community generates **its own** greeting — no two rooms share one. Want it locked to a specific focus? Add custom instructions (PRO).

The greeting fires in whichever channel a member said "gm". Personal **DM** GM briefs are a separate thing (the `/gm` command) and are unchanged.

## What Lands in the GM

- **🗞️ Fresh ecosystem news** — A short, upbeat greeting with the most important headlines of the last 24h — each one a tappable link (buttons on Telegram, embed links on Discord).
- **📡 Your own sources** — New items from the RSS feeds you added, "new activity" pings when a watched page changes, and fresh transactions from watched Stacks addresses — only what's **new since the last GM**.
- **🎯 Custom steering (PRO)** — By default Nova auto-detects your ecosystem — leave this empty and mornings stay neutral & on-topic. Fill it to **lock** the focus for *your* room — *"focus on Ordinals and our collection, hype but factual"*. Steering only: tone and topics, never a change to what Nova is.
- **🔎 Fresh web search (PRO)** — Nova runs **one live web search per GM** (your query or an automatic one) and grounds the greeting in what it finds — news your feeds might have missed.

## Set It Up — just talk to Nova

(Setup is admin-only, in your server/group — not DMs.) @mention Nova or reply to it:

1. **Turn it on:**
   * *"@Nova turn on the community GM"*
2. **Add your sources (optional, up to 10)** — RSS feeds, watched pages, and on-chain addresses:
   * *"add the RSS feed https://myproject.xyz/feed.xml to the GM"*
3. **Steer it (Community PRO):**
   * *"give the GM custom instructions: focus on Bitcoin L2s and our own drops, keep it playful"*
4. **Ground it in live search (Community PRO):**
   * *"turn on the GM web search"*
5. **Check / turn off:**
   * *"is the GM on?"* — settings, sources, and today's web-search budget.

> [!WARNING]
> **Already using the channel-level [`/gm` opt-in](#legacy-gm-opt-in)?** It keeps working exactly as before. But the moment you enable the community-level GM here, the **community setting takes precedence** for the whole server/group — including its sources (your existing ones carry over) — and turning the community GM **off** silences GM everywhere in it.

***

## How the Cadence Works

* The **first** "gm" in a rolling **36h window** triggers the brief; every later "gm" is just a greeting Nova may wave back at.
* **Every community generates its own greeting**, grounded in that room's own recent activity, so the ecosystem always matches — a Solana room never inherits a Bitcoin room's morning. PRO steering and web search layer on top of the same per-community greeting.
* Source updates are always per-community and deduplicated — an article that already appeared in a previous GM won't repeat.

***

## Legacy `/gm` opt-in

New setups should use the community GM above. For legacy users, the old per-channel `/gm` still works: when someone says "gm" (or a variant like "good morning"), Nova replies with a short Bitcoin & Ordinals news brief, plus optional per-community custom sources.

* **Opt-in per chat** — enabled per group on Telegram, per channel on Discord (Nova only replies where you've enabled it). DMs are not supported.
* **Admin only** — Telegram group admins; Discord requires **Manage Server** or **Administrator**.
* Run `/gm` to enable, manage custom sources (RSS feed, webpage URL, or Stacks address — 3 Free / 10 Premium per chat or channel), or disable.
* Cooldowns: the shared brief regenerates at most every 6 hours, and each chat/channel receives a GM at most once per 36 hours.

**To migrate:** run `/gm` and disable it in each legacy chat/channel, then set up the community GM as described above.
