Discord App Directory summary names the server job
Use the 200-character App Directory summary to name the problem your app solves in the server, instead of describing it as a generic bot with features.
Why this can grow a startup
Discord tells developers to make the Summary field attention-grabbing and problem-led because it is the short line users see in App Directory search results. That changes how the copy should be written. The summary is not a miniature about page. It is closer to a search snippet. Naming the server job to be done gives the buyer a quick reason to click, while vague feature language wastes the tiny amount of attention available in a search result.
Company example
Discord's Discovery Best Practices guide says the App Directory Summary field has a 200-character limit and recommends starting with an attention-grabbing sentence that describes a problem a user wants to solve.
