Announcements
The new Martine is here!
Published
A new look, a new website and a rebuilt dashboard! Here is what changed, and where to find it.
Martine team
Martine turns eight today! 
On I put a small bot online, one more multipurpose bot among many, and I never thought she'd get this far. Eight years later she has a name and a face of her own, she's verified, she speaks your languages, she lost her music along the way (I know, I miss it too), and she's now in almost 100,000 of your servers!
So for her birthday I rebuilt nearly everything around her. It's the biggest update she has ever had, and there's more to come. 👀
She has a new look (opens in a new tab) thanks to Nogatsu (Instagram (opens in a new tab), X (opens in a new tab)) who painted her for her eighth year, and the new martinebot.com takes its colours from that painting. The site is rebuilt from scratch, with every command, step-by-step tutorials and a live status page. The dashboard is new too, it'll feel much smoother to use than the first version, and it's as good on a phone as on a computer: alerts for all 7 platforms, leveling, starboard, giveaways, Autoporn and your settings. In Discord, her welcome now shows what to set up first, and she has new emojis of her own.
Eight years
A few weeks after that first day she opened to everyone. She was still a hobby, and she didn't even have her name yet.
Then it went faster than I expected. By March 2019 she was in 1,000 servers, and on her first birthday in more than 7,000. That same year she got her own look and her name and passed one million users. In 2020 Discord verified her.
2021 gave her Premium and Leveling, and took her music away: it had to leave. In 2023 stream alerts came back and she learned your languages. And in 2025 the dashboard opened in beta, the first version of what you're looking at today.
Every announcement since 2019 is on the blog, if you want to see how it really went.
More in the dashboard
Settings. Each server picks its prefixes, the language Martine answers in, and the commands or whole categories it wants switched off. Under Dashboard access, the server owner and Administrators can let roles or members manage Martine without the Manage Server permission. Servers with 10,000 members or more can also choose to appear on martinebot.com's home page.
Martine's look in your server. Her nickname is free for everyone. From Silver, she can also wear your server's own avatar, banner and bio, set in Settings under Identity.
Your account. The account page links your Patreon, shows the servers your Premium is on, and lists the devices you're logged in on.
On a phone. The dashboard works on a phone too, with its menu at the bottom of the screen. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
Your privacy. The website privacy policy says what the site measures, and has a switch to turn it off.
Logging in to the dashboard also adds you to Martine's support server, so help is one message away.
Martine stays free for everyone. Premium, on Patreon, raises the limits and lets Martine wear your server's look. See the plans.
The illustration
Nogatsu painted Martine for her eighth year: the full illustration, the cutout on the home page and her new avatar all come from it.
Eight giveaways for eight years
It's a birthday, so there are presents: one giveaway a day until 21 November in the support server (opens in a new tab), all run with Martine's own giveaways.
- 14 November: Discord Nitro
- 15 November: Robux
- 16 November: GTA VI, a few days early so you have time to download it
- 17 November: V-Bucks
- 18 November: Discord Nitro
- 19 November: Spotify Premium (she does owe you some music)
- 20 November: a year of Gold for a server, and User Premium for eight of you
- 21 November: Discord Nitro, and a year of Gold for the server that has had her the longest
There's a birthday role too. Leave a 🎂 under the announcement in the support server before 14 December and it's yours to keep.
Thank you
She's still built and run by one person, but none of this happened alone. Thank you to the moderators who look after the support server, to everyone who translated her, to the contributors, to the five artists who have drawn her over the years, and to everyone on Patreon, who keep her running. And thank you, whether you added her last week or back in the early days. She's still here because of you. 
Have a look around, and tell me what you think (or what I broke) in the support server (opens in a new tab). New here? Add her to your server (opens in a new tab).
Here's to the next eight.
