Markov_thingy

markov_thingy is a markov-chain discord bot maintained primarily by danielh2942 It allows you to train a markov chain off a given channel in your discord server. It was written for fun and is probably going to be maintained on a very ad-hoc basis

Features

• Train a Markov bot off of discord messages sent to a channel
• Weird youtube searches using the youtube API
• Multiple server support

Tech

markov_thingy uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• Go - The Go programming language
• DiscordGo - A discord library for the go programming language
• google/uuid - Googles UUID library written in go,

And of course markov_thingy itself is open source.
