A YAGPDB alternative

What's different

Bond's automations are written in plain English and compiled into a checked format, so you get programmable behaviour without learning a template syntax — and it tells you when something will not work before it saves it.

When to stay on YAGPDB

Stick with YAGPDB if you are comfortable with the templating language and want everything free forever. It is good at free, deeply programmable automation and there is no prize for switching tools you are happy with.

Running both

You do not have to choose. Bond does not take over anything another bot is doing — add it alongside YAGPDB, use it for the things that are awkward today, and move the rest over only if you want to.
