GPT-powered Discord bot for my own server.

poetry install
python cli.py sync-commands
python cli.py run

Commands

• /chat — Start a conversation with the bot. It will create a new thread for you.
• /ask — Ask the bot a one-shot question in the current channel.
• /regenerate — In an existing thread, regenerate the bot's last response.
• /stats — In an existing thread, show info such as tokens used and the Chat Completion API request payload.

Features

Multiple participants

The bot listens to other users' messages, including those from other bots and Discord.

Threads created by the bot are private. To invite other users, simply mention them in the thread.

The bot will never respond to messages that begin by mentioning another user (like how tweets that begin with @ were considered conversations between two users).

In the request, messages from other users will look like:

{
  "role": "user",
  "content": "<@user_mention> says: Hello, ChatGPT!"
}

Messages from Discord will look like:

{
  "role": "system",
  "content": "Discord: <@bot> added <@user> to the thread"
}

Rich content

Text attachments will have their content included.

Embeds are sent as Markdown documents, for example:

**Opinion | Noam Chomsky: The False Promise of ChatGPT**

The most prominent strain of A.I. encodes a flawed conception of language and knowledge.

Response timing

Use the response_timing option to control when the bot will respond: after every message or only when the bot is mentioned.

Use the respond_to_bots option to control whether the bot will respond also after new messages from other bots.

Presets

By default, the following system message is included at the beginning the request:

{
  "role": "system",
  "content": "Your name is {bot_name}. You are talking to {user} over Discord. Server name: {server}. Channel: {channel}"
}

Use the preset option to choose other presets, or use the system_message option to write your own.
