-### 🎨 Polish & Bonus features
+### ✅ MVP Features (Core Bot Experience)
+These are the must-have features to make the bot functional, fun, and engaging.
 
-- [ ] Bot appears on the server like a "user" (ability to @delta instead of "!chat")
-  - helps the "sell" the idea to others that the bot is a "friend"
-  - All user interactions apply to the bot so other users dont need to remmember special commands
-- [ ] Have the bot be content aware
-  - pulls the existing conversation and talks about stuff that is inline with the topics
-- [ ] Give bot ability to react to mesages like users would
-  - adds a personal touch and helps sell the idea of it being your "friend" more
-  - does need some sort of content awareness
-- [ ] Bot can be given some power to change the server a bit
-  - keeps thing fresh, makes it so that there is some change happening in servers
-  - the idea being it makes the bot more unique by providing more tailored experiences
-- [ ] Bot is user aware
-  - usernames are passed to the bot along side the users prompt
-- [ ] Image interpretation
-  - bot can read images like GPT this allows for more personalised interactions
-- [ ] Web usage
-  - Bot can search the web like GPT or OpenWebUI
-  - Opens up a ton of interactivity for memes, media discussion, an be easily integrated with multiple platforms
