Derek Bot

A bot to imitate your friend's texting style with ChatGPT

Features

1. ✅ Replies when pinged.
2. ✅ Replies to last message in channel when your friend (i.e. Derek) starts typing.
3. ✅ Randomly DMs people for added creepiness.
4. ✅ Reacts to messages randomly. Will sometimes react 🤖 to the real Derek.
5. ✅ Will never slur.

Prerequisites

1. Have a Discord bot. Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications and create a new application. The Message Content intent needs to be enabled. It also needs to be able to Read Messages/View Channels and Send Messages, at minimum.
2. Get a ChatGPT API key. Create a ChatGPT account and go to https://platform.openai.com/api-keys.

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies with npm install in terminal.
2. Put

export const chatgptkey = "YOUR_CHATGPT_KEY";
export const discordToken = "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN";
export const derekId = "DEREK_DISCORD_ID";
export const botId = "BOT_DISCORD_ID";

in src/Token.ts.

3. Run npx tsc to compile TypeScript.
4. Run node src/Discord.js. It should output Ready!.
5. To re-run the code after a change, use npx tsc && node src/Discord.js.

Making Your Custom Bot

Most (but not all) of the Derek specific data can be found in Examples.ts. Channel whitelists can be found in the nogoChannels and yesChannels variables in Discord.ts.

Note on ChatGPT Rate Limits

The default ChatGPT API requests-per-day of 200 can be easily exceeded. To overcome this you need to put in an additional $5 of credits.
