Otto

otto is a imessage OSX chat handler. It runs in applescript with a golang parser.

imessage chat syntax:
otto COMMAND ARGS
(otto) (say) (that's cool!)

features:

  • modular commands
  • customizeable settings
  • settings backup (if your settings file gets corrupted)

bugs:

  • There is only 1 chat room stored, so data from other chats can show up
  • Double messages - otto replies twice. This happens when you have unread messages in 1 chat, and otto is called in another.

set it up:

  • clone this repo and give a star.
  • change the ottohandler and settings.json location 2x inside of otto.applescript
  • move otto.applescript to ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.iChat
  • select otto.applescript as your imessage handler.

adding a function:

  1. create your function inside library.go. Make sure it is one of these types:
  • func(string, string) string calls a function with message and from as arguments
  • func(string) string calls a function with message as the argument
  • func() string calls a function that returns a string
  • string returns a message
  1. add your function and it's keyword to ottomap inside library.go
  2. if your function takes arguments, make sure it handles edge cases including:
  • no arguments called
  • space is first character of argument
  • incorrect arguments

DISCLAIMER:

  • parts of main.go and otto.applescript were taken from Jared. All credit goes to its owner.
