What is hent-ai?

Hent-ai is a plugin for AI agents (bots that automatically perform tasks) that adds visual emotion expression to chat messages. The name "hent" is a coined word combining "intent", the plugin reads what an AI agent writes, figures out the emotional tone, and automatically attaches a matching image to the response in Discord (a popular chat platform). Here is how it works: every time an AI agent sends a response, Hent-ai classifies the emotional content using a language model (an AI that reads text). It then selects the right image from a set of six emotions, happy, neutral, loyalty (greeting/acknowledgment), sorry, confused, and focused, and attaches it to the Discord message. This happens automatically without the agent needing to explicitly choose an image. To get started, you need to create six images representing each emotion for your custom character or mascot. The tool offers three ways to do this: an agent-guided setup using a SKILL.md file, an automatic command-line generator, or manual image creation with any image tool. If you use the auto-generator, you describe a character, and it produces all six emotion variants in a consistent style. Hent-ai works with the OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and Cursor platforms. It is built with TypeScript and released under the MIT license (free to use and modify). This tool is useful when you want your AI bot to feel more expressive and relatable in Discord conversations, especially if you are building or customizing an AI agent persona.
