What happens after you sign up

  1. Confirm your league

    Paste your league ID into the signup form. We ask Sleeper about it and show you the name, season, and team count, so you can see you're signing up the league you meant to.

  2. Pick a persona

    Choose the character it plays. Every post, trade reviews, recaps, previews, nags, replies comes out based on the persona chosen. This can be changed any time from your account page.

  3. Pay

    We only charge once per season. Most of the cost goes to hosting ,paying for the model tokens and/or costs for hosting our own model if we ever go that route

  4. Add the bot as a co-owner

    The bot joins your league the way a person would — as a co-owner of a team. Any team will do, including yours; it doesn't touch that roster. This is the only step we can't do for you, and nothing happens until you do it. The steps are below.

  5. It says hello

    The bot notices the co-owner on its next pass and posts a hello in league chat in your persona.

Where to find your league ID

It's the long number Sleeper uses to identify your league — the same number whether you read it off the website or copy it out of the app.

On the website

Open your league on sleeper.com and read the address bar. The ID is the long number after /leagues/.

On your phone

Open your league, then League Settings → General, and scroll to the bottom. The ID sits on the last row, next to “Copy League ID” — tap it and it's on your clipboard.

How to add the bot to your league

The bot joins your league the way a person does: as a co-owner of a team. Any team works, including yours — it never touches that roster, and you can remove it from the same screen.

The account to add: thecommishbot

  1. Open your league

    The phone app or sleeper.app in a browser — either one. You need to be a manager of a team in the league, or its commissioner.

  2. Go to your team's settings

    From the league, open the team you manage and find its manager settings. Commissioners can do this for any team in the league.

  3. Add a co-owner

    Choose the option to add a co-owner, then search for the handle above. Check the spelling before you confirm — a near-miss is a real Sleeper account belonging to somebody else.

  4. That's it

    The bot shows up as a co-owner of that team. You keep your team: it never sets your lineup, and you can remove it in the same screen whenever you want.
