[Python] How to Create discord bot commands from the server

I'm coding a discord bot in Python and I want to create custom commands on the server that can be created in the server, from what Ive researched, I need to add a dictonary for the values to be put into.

I went and followed a guide that was on a older post and this is what I got so far (Credit to Furas)

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

new_dict = {}


bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', intents=discord.Intents.all())

@bot.command('create')
async def create(ctx, *args):
print("Hey it works")
print('[create] ctx:', ctx)
print('[create] args:', args)

if len(args) >= 2:
key = '!' + args[0]
val = args[1]
new_dict[key] = val

async def on_message(msg, *args):

if msg.author.bot:
return

cmd, *args = msg.content.split(' ')

if cmd in new_dict:
answer = new_dict[cmd]
await msg.reply(answer)
else:
# send to other commands
await bot.process_commands(msg)

cmd, *args = msg.content.split(' ')

if cmd in new_dict:
answer = new_dict[cmd]
await msg.reply(answer)
else:
# send to other commands - like `!create`
await bot.process_commands(msg)

bot.run('THE TOKEN')


The aim:

When I type >create and write next to the fuction, I want it to make a custom function with the 1st arg and the 2nd arg to be what the bot responds with.

e.g. >create cat meow

What I want it to reproduce:
Input: >cat
Output: meow

However, this seems to be not working, when I use >create, the bot seems to acknowledge the args below (In the code I added an fuction that makes it print, hey it works and then prints out the args and the ctx), but it doesn't seem to save them so they can be used again and it comes with a command not found error.

The Bot is Online

And message context is on as well.
