Intelligent Discord Bot Template with Rolling Context

Overview

NexusChatAI serves as a base project for building complex AI chatbots for Discord. It provides a robust foundation with features like rolling context management, customizable AI interactions, and easy integration with AI providers. Users can build upon this template to create sophisticated AI-powered Discord bots tailored to their specific needs.

Features

• Rolling context management for persistent conversations
• Customizable AI character and behavior
• Easy integration with AI providers (default: Together AI)
• Modular design for easy expansion and modification

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Discord account and bot token
• Together AI API key (or another AI provider of your choice)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/VenkatLohithDasari/NexusChatAI.git
   cd NexusChatAI
   

2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On Windows:

     venv\Scripts\activate
     

   • On macOS and Linux:

     source venv/bin/activate
     

4. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Configuration

1. Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

   DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
   TOGETHER_API_KEY=your_together_ai_api_key
   

2. Configure the config/config.json file:

   {
       "system_prompt": "You are a helpful assistant.",
       "ai_name": "NexusChatAI",
       "custom_instructions": "{ai_name} will always assist with care, respect, and truth. Respond with utmost utility yet securely. Avoid harmful, unethical, prejudiced, or negative content. Ensure replies promote fairness and positivity.",
       "model": "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Turbo",
       "max_tokens": 150,
       "temperature": 0.98,
       "top_p": 0.37,
       "top_k": 100,
       "repetition_penalty": 1.18,
       "stream": true,
       "stop": "<|eot_id|>"
   }

   • system_prompt: Defines the AI's base behavior and role.
   • ai_name: The name of your AI assistant.
   • custom_instructions: Additional instructions for the AI. You can use {ai_name} as a variable to include the AI's name.
   • Other fields: AI model and sampling parameters.

Running the Bot

Run the bot using the following command:

python bot.py

Customization

AI Provider

By default, NexusChatAI uses Together AI. To use a different AI provider:

1. Create a new file in the ai_api directory (e.g., custom_ai_provider.py).
2. Implement a class similar to TogetherAI in together_ai.py.
3. Modify bot.py to use your new AI provider.

Extending Functionality

• Add new commands by creating functions with the @bot.command() decorator in bot.py.
• Modify the ContextManager in context_manager/context_manager.py to change how context is stored and managed.
• Adjust the PromptCreator in prompt_creator/prompt_creator.py to alter how prompts are formatted.
