discord-ai

A Discord bot that integrates with the Cohere LLM API. The bot can respond to specific commands and mentions in a Discord server.

Features

• Responds to the !talk command by generating a response using the Cohere API.
• Responds when mentioned directly in a message.
• Includes a simple test command !hello to verify the bot's functionality.

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• discord.py library
• cohere library
• nest_asyncio library

Setup

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/himanshuskyrockets/discord-ai.git
   cd discord-bot-cohere

2. Install Dependencies

   Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended) & install the required packages:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   pip install discord.py cohere nest_asyncio

3. Configuration

   Replace the placeholders in the code with your actual API keys:

   • your-cohere-api-key in the cohere.Client initialization.
   • your-discord-bot-token in the client.run function.

4. Run the Bot

   Execute the script to start the bot:

   python bot.py

Code Overview

• bot.py: Main script to run the bot.
  • @client.event on_ready(): Logs a message when the bot is ready.
  • @client.command talk(ctx, *, message): Command to send a message to the Cohere API and get a response.
  • @client.command hello(ctx): Simple command for testing.
  • @client.event on_message(message): Handles direct mentions of the bot and responds using the talk command.

Usage

• Mention the bot in a Discord channel: @YourBot Hello, how are you?
• Use the command !talk <message> to get a response from Cohere.
• Test the bot with the !hello command to confirm it’s working.

What More You Can Add:

1. Pass name to LLM: Feature: Instead of concating the username in message pass the user name to the LLM.

2. Emoji Reactions Based on User Message:

Feature: Add functionality to react with emojis based on the sentiment or content classification of the user’s message that aligns with reaction.

3. Custom Command Handling:

Feature: Allow users to define custom commands and responses in the Discord server.
