This project was originally created as an official entry for the Azure AI Developer Hackathon, where developers build intelligent apps using Azure services and GitHub Copilot. AURA — Advanced Universal Recreational Activities — was built entirely on Azure AI, Azure Service Bus, Azure Function Apps, Azure Container Apps, and many other Azure tools to show how production-grade bots can be rapidly prototyped and deployed with Microsoft's ecosystem.

> ⚠️ Note: AURA is currently available only while our Azure free trial remains active. Some services may be temporarily offline.

💬 What it does

AURA is an intelligent, multi-modal Discord bot that drives server engagement through AI-powered conversation starters, interactive games, creative challenges, and voice-based activities. It features daily questions, trivia nights, XP systems, leaderboards, drawing prompts, and even real-time voice games — all backed by Azure AI and designed to be modular, scalable, and deeply interactive.

Inspired by community servers at Oregon State University and Jackbox game nights with friends, the goal was to build something that’s not just a novelty or tool — but a full-fledged, social heartbeat for your Discord community.
