How to run this bot?

1. Run pip install requirements.txt
2. Get your OpenAI API key
3. Get your Discord bot's token
4. Run a Qdrant database
5. See the example.env files for the environment variables you have to set. Or, instead, create a copy of it named .envin the same directory, with the variables set
6. Run python main.py

The bot does not require "read message" intents, and will only read messages if pinged.

How to add knowledge?

Create a folder named "knowledge" and add some .txt files in it. The text files must contain either paragraphs or chunks somewhere in the text, and that decides how they will be indexed by AI:

• paragraphs will split chunks of knowledge whenever it finds a double-newline
• chunkswill split chunks of knowledge in pieces of approximately ~24k character

That means that the AI will include whole pieces of knowledge it deems relevant on its prompt

Caution

The whole knowledge database is re-indexed every time the bot restarts (knowledge.py). This is a known issue, and will cost you some money, even though creating text embeddings is very cheap

Also, this code is in general very unfinished. Expect bugs.

Costs

Experimental data suggests the cost is around ~$2/1000 messages exchanged with the bot (pessimistic estimate).

Indexing knowledge (happens just once on startup) costs around $0.04 per megabyte of text.
