# Get Started with Snowball: Explore Your First Commands

> Snowball is already in the Xtreme Weather Discord — no setup required. This guide walks you through your first commands so you can hit the ground running.

If you're a member of the Xtreme Weather Discord server, you already have access to Snowball. There's nothing to install or configure — just start typing a slash command in any channel where Snowball is active. This guide walks you through the most useful commands to try first.

<Tip>
  Discord's autocomplete makes exploring commands easy. Type `/` in any channel and browse the list that appears. Press Tab to cycle through suggestions and fill in command options without typing the full name.
</Tip>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Browse all available commands">
    Run `/help` in any channel. Snowball replies with an interactive menu — select a category from the dropdown to see every command in that group along with a short description of what each one does.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check active weather alerts">
    Run `/weather alerts` and enter a location when prompted — a city name, state, or zip code all work. Snowball fetches live alerts from the National Weather Service and displays any active warnings, watches, or advisories for that area.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start an AI conversation">
    Mention @Snowball in any message, or reply to any message Snowball has sent, to start a conversation. You can ask weather questions, request a forecast summary, or just chat. Snowball remembers your conversation across messages and picks up where you left off.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Claim your daily Snowflakes">
    Run `/economy daily` to collect your daily Snowflake reward. Then run `/economy balance` to see your current balance, bank total, and net worth. Snowflakes are the server currency — you earn them by chatting, completing jobs, and playing minigames.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check your server level">
    Run `/level view` to see your current XP, level, and rank card. You earn XP passively by sending messages in the server. As you level up, you unlock new perks and roles.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Some commands are only available in specific channels, and certain commands require a staff role to use. If a command doesn't respond where you try it, check whether there's a dedicated channel for that feature.
