This guide walks you through the basics of setting up and using Discord and Midjourney to bring your creative visions to life through AI-generated images.

Discord:

Discord is a free communication app that allows you to share voice, video, and text messages with friends, gaming communities, and developers. It has millions of users and is used in conjunction with Midjourney to send text commands that instruct the AI to generate images.
