Chippy

Use ChatGPT in your Discord Server! Chippy v2.0 is currently built for deployment on fly.io.

Usage

• Start a new chat with “@Chippy"
• Reply to posts to continue a conversation
• Chippy will reply in any channel
  • I would suggest making “chippy-text” and “chippy-images” channels and immediately globally muting them to save your notifications from being spammed.
  • Chippy also works inside threads, which are highly encouraged to keep things organized.

Chippy also formats code correctly:

Chippy supports image generation with DALL-E 2 or Stable Diffusion. This feature is disabled by default, as it can quickly become expensive on large servers. Start your message with "@chippy image of" to generate an image. If using Stable Diffusion, you can also specify a preset, such as "neon punk image of". You can list all available presets with "list presets"

Advanced Usage

• Your first message can start with “you are” to set the context.
  • The default is "You are a helpful assistant."
  • This uses the "system" tag in the API, as opposed to the "user" or "assistant" tags.
  • Chippy won't respond to the context-setting message, so you will need to reply to it with the actual message you want answered.

Privacy and Security

• Your Chippy will store a stripped-down verison of messages in a local Sqlite database. Ony message text and whether Chippy or a user sent it are stored. This is used for the ability to have conversation threads without recursively calling the Discord API, which is slow and will get the bot rate-limited. These messages are only accessable your Chippy instance.

Setup

• Create a Discord Bot
  • Be sure to enable all Intents on the Bot tab and give it message reading and writing permissions when generating the join link.
  • The icon I used is in the repository as images/chippy-logo.png
  • After Chippy joins, change its role from "Chippy" to "RoleChippy" to prevent people from calling the role instead of the bot.
• Create an OpenAI API Key
• Set up flyctl, the fly.io CLI tool
• Clone the repo
  • git clone https://github.com/kahnpoint/chippy
  • Copy .env.example to .env and fill in the values
  • In the fly.toml, be sure change the app name to something unique and the region to the one closest to you (list of regions here). Do not change the mount values.
• Test it locally by running
  • python -m venv venv
  • source venv/bin/activate
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
  • python app.py
• If everything works, run flyctl deploy --remote-only to deploy to fly.io. - Depending on usage, you may need to extend the volume's size with fly volumes extend <volume-id> -s <size-in-gb>.
• Chippy is live!
