GPT Discord Bot

Example Discord bot written in Python that uses the completions API to have conversations with the gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4 models.

/chat starts a public thread, with a message argument which is the first user message passed to the bot
The model will generate a reply for every user message in any threads started with /chat
The entire thread will be passed to the model for each request, so the model will remember previous messages in the thread
when the context limit is reached, or a max message count is reached in the thread, bot will close the thread
you can customize the bot instructions by modifying config.yaml
you can change the model, the hardcoded value is text-davinci-003

Copy .env.example to .env and start filling in the values as detailed below
Go to https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys, create a new API key, and fill in OPENAI_API_KEY
Create your own Discord application at https://discord.com/developers/applications
Go to the Bot tab and click "Add Bot"
- Click "Reset Token" and fill in DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN
- Disable "Public Bot" unless you want your bot to be visible to everyone
- Enable "Message Content Intent" under "Privileged Gateway Intents"
Go to the OAuth2 tab, copy your "Client ID", and fill in DISCORD_CLIENT_ID
Copy the ID the server you want to allow your bot to be used in by right clicking the server icon and clicking "Copy ID". Fill in ALLOWED_SERVER_IDS. If you want to allow multiple servers, separate the IDs by "," like server_id_1,server_id_2
Install dependencies and run the bot
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m src.main
```
You should see an invite URL in the console. Copy and paste it into your browser to add the bot to your server. Note: make sure you are using Python 3.9+ (check with python --version)

If you want to change the model used, you can do so in OPENAI_MODEL. Currently only gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4 work with the present codebase.
If you want to change the behavior/personality of the bot, change the system prompt in SYSTEM_MESSAGE, with optional variables enclosed in {curly braces}. Currently the only variables available are current_date and knowledge_cutoff, with the latter being equivalent to the environment variable of the same name. The former is always in ISO 8601 format.

Why isn't my bot responding to commands?

Ensure that the channels your bots have access to allow the bot to have these permissions.
