AI Sponge Lite (sometimes called "Lite") is a Discord bot that generates audio-only AI Sponge episodes with transcripts inspired by AI Sponge Rehydrated (sometimes called "Rehydrated").

The available characters are SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Loudward, Gary, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, Karen, Mrs. Puff, Squilliam, Larry, Bubble Bass, Bubble Buddy, and the French Narrator. Some characters will sound different from Rehydrated due to them using private models.

The available background music is the SpongeBob SquarePants closing theme, The Tip Top Polka, The Rake Hornpipe, and Seaweed. One of these is chosen at random per episode. There is also a rare chance that Sneaky Snitch or the Better Call Saul opening will be chosen as a callback to the original AI Sponge.

The available sound effects are steel sting, boowomp, vibe link (b), disgusting fog horn, "My leg!", "Oh brother this guy stinks!", "You what?", and the dolphin censor sound. One of these is chosen at random to play at a random point per episode. Every episode begins with the bubbles transition sound.

The available ambiance includes underwater sounds, night crickets, and silence. One of these is chosen at random to play in the background of each episode below all other sounds. Rain sounds can also play simultaneously at random.

The available random events are speech cutoffs and loud events. Both of these can happen in an episode any number of times. Loud events also occur every time Loudward speaks. Cutoffs also occur anytime a line ends with a hyphen.

Lite supports all strokes, which are when FakeYou glitches out and generates abnormal audio. The volumes of characters are normalized, so strokes will not be full volume (unless a loud event occurs).

• /generate: Generate an episode. Only one episode can be generated at a time globally. There is a 5-minute cooldown upon successful generation. Generation may take around 15 minutes.
• /status: Check if an episode can be generated. This will show if an episode is generating, if you are on cooldown, or if the bot is ready to generate another episode.

Click the link in the "About" section of the repository, then click "Add App" on the next page. After that, follow the instructions in the popup.

• If you encounter the error "Missing permissions.", make sure the bot has the following permissions: View Channels, Embed Links, Attach Files, Read Message History, Use External Emojis, and Send Messages.
• If you encounter the error "An error occurred.", try using the generate command again. If it happens right after generation jumps from 0%, try changing the wording of your topic.
