Is there any way to make a command both text-based and slash-based in Pycord?

I've made a music bot in Pycord, and I want to make the commands both slash and text-based. I've implemented slash commands using discord.Bot in a cog and used the slash_command decorator.

All the code of the music bot can be seen here (the main_slash.py file contains the cog)

I have some hint that discord.ext.commands.Bot can be used, but well, to say the least, I am bewildered and perplexed in this context on using this class in my code.

I have tried these things:-

  1. Using discord.ext.commands.Bot, but this ended up in failure (as mentioned before).
  2. (current method, but inefficient I guess) Running two instances of the bot parallelly, with one implementing slash commands, while the other implementing text-based commands.

Bridges exist on Pycord now and you can just do:

@bot.bridge_command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("Hello!")

and it'll be both a text-based and slash-based command.

I suggest creating a seperate async function and then the slash command an prefixed command call that separate async function.

discord.ext.commands.Bot supports slash commands and prefix commands please read the docs
