Jambot 8.1 turns GrandJam into a work system.

August 17, 2026

8.1.4 Plan separation and website refresh

• The planning pass now has one job: clearly restate the user's request and prepare a concise execution plan.
• Planning output that contains final code, file contents, commands, or completion claims is discarded and retried before a safe local plan is used.
• The website now documents the complete 8.1 Deep Work flow and no longer publishes or links to the bot implementation.
• Install guidance continues to use permission integer 10292755164407, including Create Instant Invite, file attachments, and thread permissions.

8.1.3 Research, artifacts, and live task stages

• Concrete coding and build requests are forced into the Deep Work path when artifact output is enabled.
• Status text can move through Researching, Planning, Thinking, Building, Reviewing, Answering, and Packaging files instead of showing a generic Thinking label.
• Coding work can be attached as actual files, with an extra repackaging pass if the model tries to return the finished implementation only as chat text.
• Generated attachments can be copied to the same private AI audit record as the response so moderators see what the user received.
• Automatic research recognizes explicit research language, freshness-sensitive questions, and informational questions when configured.

8.1.2 Search and safety behavior

• Harmless cybersecurity education such as asking what a RAT or keylogger is can be answered normally.
• Clearly abusive action-oriented requests can be refused and logged to the private suspicious-user audit without automatic punishment.
• GrandJam can use DuckDuckGo context for current questions and show compact source links when search succeeds.
• Repeated-character degeneration such as huge punctuation floods is detected before it reaches Discord, with provider retry and output suppression.

8.1.1 Deep Work

• Large requests can create a dedicated Discord work thread.
• Two-pass and three-pass flows separate planning from final output, with an optional internal first build and review or rebuild stage.
• Deep Work can prefer separately configured extended Cloudflare and Groq models and fall back to normal models when necessary.
• Private chain-of-thought is never posted; the thread only receives concise high-level plan and progress summaries.

8.0.5 Website and install sync

• The website was updated for the GrandJam release instead of describing only the older verification-focused bot.
• The required-permissions invite gained Create Instant Invite. Its permission integer changed from 10292755164406 to 10292755164407.
• Privacy and terms pages were expanded for GrandJam AI, DuckDuckGo search logging, global acknowledgement, AI DMs, private audit channels, and ticket behavior.

8.0.4 Jambot admin server browser

• /jambot-admin servers presents connected servers with guild IDs and member counts in a clean paginated view.
• Jambot admins can enter an exact server name or guild ID and create a one-use invite that expires after 60 seconds.
• The temporary invite is removed from the browser message when it expires.

8.0 GrandJam, tickets, and confirmations

GrandJam became an opt-in per-server AI layer with global privacy acknowledgement, private AI records, tickets, administrator controls, and public Continue or Cancel confirmations for sensitive moderator actions.
