Discord AI Chat-Bot

link at the discord docs: https://discordjs.guide/#before-you-begin

1. Create a new server on discord

1. Create a new server:

   
   

2. Set up the bot on your server

1. Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/

2. Create the new app

3. Use OAuth2 --> URL generator and generate a url to invite your app (bot) to your server as a channel member

4. Issue(reset) the token to use it later in your code and enable the bot

   
   
   
   
   

2. Set up the project

1. Create the project folder and navigate in there

   mkdir discord_bot && cd discord_bot
   

2. Set up the project:

   npm init -y
   

   npm install discord.js
   

   npm install -g nodemon
   

   npm install --save-dev eslint
   

Important

3. Create the config.json, place it in your root directory and use config-example.json as a template

{
   "token": "<your token>", // you can issue the token for your bot using https://discord.com/developers/ portal
   "apiKey": "<your APIKey>", // you can issue the token for your bot using https://platform.openai.com portal
   "guildId": "<your GuildID>", // Discord calls servers as "guilds", so copy-paste your server ID
   "clientId": "<your Client ID>"  // Client means bot here, so copy-paste your bot ID here
}

4. Launch the app in the monitoring mode:

   nodemon

5. Now your bot is "online" but can't talk yet

   
   
   

   
   

3. Returning the test messages

1. Modify the script

   index.js

   const { token } = require('../config.json');
   const { Client, IntentsBitField, Partials } = require('discord.js');
   
   
   const client = new Client
   ({
     intents: 
     [
       IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
       IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
       IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
       IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
       IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessageTyping,
       IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages,
       IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessageReactions,
       IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessageTyping,
     ],
     partials: 
     [
       Partials.Message, 
       Partials.Channel, 
       Partials.Reaction
     ]
   });
   
   
   client.on('ready', (c) => {
     console.log(`✅ ${c.user.tag} is online.`);
   });
   
   
   client.on('messageCreate', message => {
     console.log(`Received message from ${message.author.tag} in ${message.guild ? `guild ${message.guild.name}` : 'DM'}. Content: ${message.content}`);
     
     if (message.author.bot) return;
     
     if (message.content === 'ping') {
       message.channel.send('Pong!');
     }
     
     if (message.content === 'hello') {
       message.channel.send('Hello!');
     }
   });
   
   
   client.login(token);

2. Result

   

4. Set up slash commands

Note

Slash commands in Discord are special commands that start with a forward slash (/) and allow users to perform various pre-defined actions or invoke specific features

1. Create a folder and modules with slash commands and set up the export

   https://github.com/fac30/discord-chatbot--Oleg-Loza/tree/main/commands/utility

2. Create registercommands.js to register the the slash commands and set up the export

   https://github.com/fac30/discord-chatbot--Oleg-Loza/blob/main/registercommands.js

3. You will need to copy the server ID and the bot ID. Add them to your config as guildID and clientID

   

   {
      "token": "<your token>", // you can issue the token for your bot using https://discord.com/developers/ portal
      "apiKey": "<your APIKey>", // you can issue the token for your bot using https://platform.openai.com portal
      "guildId": "<your GuildID>", // Discord calls servers as "guilds", so copy-paste your server ID
      "clientId": "<your Client ID>"  // Client means bot here, so copy-paste your bot ID here
   }

4. Modify the index.js to import and register slash commands each time the server launches:

   const { commands } = require('../registercommands'); 		// Import the commands collection from the registercommands module
   
   const commands = new Map(); // Create a Map to store commands

5. Test the commands:

   

4. Set up the conversation and requests to OPEN AI API

1. Modify the script

   the link at the final script: index.js

2. Result:

   

5. Deploying to a cloud server and run to be available 24 hours a day

6. Using Your Bot 🤖 💬

If all went well and you've added your bot successfully to a guild, you should be able to interact with it by mentioning, followed by a prompt, like so:

bro Hey, can you tell me a fun fact

or:

bro are you a bot?
