Implementation of Chatterbot using Discord API. This project uses some functionality of Chatterbot, but is not endorsed by Chatterbot nor a distribution of the code.
Due to the necessity of storing files to train the AI, the bot is not hosted publicly. You must download this repository and run the chat-bot.py script using your own bot account.
1. Create your own discord bot
Set up your bot and copy the token in Discord's developer portal at Application > (your application) > Bot > Token. Paste it into token.txt.
chat-bot.py requires the modules that are imported at the top of the script, namely chatterbot and discord.py. To install these, open a command prompt and type pip install chatterbot and pip install discord.py and wait for each to install. If running the chat-bot.py script gives an error that either of the modules are not found, you should attempt to use pip3 instead to ensure the modules are installed to the correct python version. If chatterbot fails to install, type pip install chatterbot=1.0.0 instead.
Chatbot saves conversations cached by discord users to numbered .txt files. Each file represents one conversation in which each line is a valid response to the one before it. You can create your own files manually (following the number file name scheme) or teach the bot with commands within Discord (see below). You can change the directory in which conversations are saved by changing the CONVO_DIR variable within the chat-bot.py script.
Using any python interpreter, run the chat-bot.py script. When this script is running, your bot should be online and available for use!
Takes any string of lowercase letters as input for the AI to respond to. Any bot commands, numbers, and symbols are stripped before being interpreted.
Takes every message in a reply chain and caches it as a conversation. If cache is full, all conversations will be saved.
Retrains AI. All the cache is saved before training. basic will train based on the default English corpus, custom will train based on saved conversations, and clear will reset the AI storage (not saved custom conversations) before retraining. clear is accessible only to administrators of the server. Note that while one parameter is required, more than one can be passed in at once.
Modifies cache. clear will reset the cache and delete recently taught conversations. write will save all conversations in the cache. delete will remove the conversation in the cache at the ith position, 0-indexed. Accessible only to administrators of the server.
Sends status.
