Mostly ChatGPT generated experimental bot. You can read a related blog article.
As it's a Chat bot style, it works in a conversation. This context may affect future questions, so if you want to start new conversation, you can use this:
Write !help to a bot / mention him, to print this message:
# ChatGPT Assistant This is a chatbot assistant that uses OpenAI's ChatGPT API to generate responses to your messages. ## How to use To use the bot, simply mention it in a message, e.g. @**{bot}** hello!. The bot will then generate a response and send it back to you. You can also write a private message to the bot without mentioning it. ## Subcommands Subcommands are words starting with an exclamation mark, e.g. `!new`. You can use the following subcommands to control the bot: ### General: - `!help` - show this help message ### Context: - `!topic` - use context from the current topic (default behaviour; subcommand not implemented/needed) - `!stream` - use context from the current stream - `!new` - start a new conversation; no previous context (the bot will use context from the previous conversation by default which may affect the generated response) - `!contexts` - list all available contexts (e.g. `!cicada`, `!frankie`) and their values Example custom defined context: `!cicada` - add system context for Cicada; this may provide more accurate responses ### Model: - `!gpt3` - use GPT-3.5 Turbo (default; 4K tokens, up to 2.5K for input) - `!gpt4` - use GPT-4 (8K tokens, up to 6K for input) ### Global settings (admins only): - `!set` - (not implemented yet) show current settings - `!set context <name> <value> - upsert a context like !cicada. Example: `!set context cicada Cicada is a business wallet` - `!unset context <name>` - delete a context ### User settings (not implemented yet): - `!me` - show your current settings - `!me model gpt3` - set your default model to GPT-3.5 Turbo - `!me model gpt4` - set your default model to GPT-4 ## Example usage - `@{bot} !gpt4 !stream Can you summarise previous messages?` - use GPT-4 and context from the current stream - `@{bot} !new I have a question...` - start a new conversation using GPT-3.5 Turbo and no context (previous messages will be ignored) Bot version: {version} To start a new conversation (as it fetches the history for up to 6K tokens, depends on the model and settings) just write !new subcommand anywhere in the message.
Message: new My name is XY. Message: @GPT new My name is XY. Message: @GPT new New day is coming. How are you? You can simply write a direct message to the bot, and he will answer your prompt.
# Conversation; all possible messages until the token `new` are sent in the conversation Message: new My name is XY. GPT: ... Message: What is my name? # Single prompt; only the current prompt is being sent Message: new My name is XY. GPT: ... Message: new What is my name? You will need to active the bot by mentioning him, like @GPT
Those activations are then being replaced in the prompt.
To start a new conversation, you can do the same thing like in private messages.
For private streams
Warning: I have not fully tested it with private streams yet, but there may be problems if the stream's history is Protected and bot is added as a subscriber there.
# Conversation; e.g. with previous messages Message: @GPT !new My name is XY. GPT: ... Message: @GPT What is my name? # Single prompt; only the current prompt is being sent without previous context Message: My name is XY. @GPT GPT: ... # as the !new subcommand is used, GPT will not know your name Message: @GPT !new What is my name? Steps to do:
- Add Zulip Generic bot called
GPT, and download/update the.zuliprc - Obtain OpenAI API key
- Install
python3,pipandgit - (optional) Create virtual env
git clone https://github.com/parallelo3301/zulip-chatgpt-bot cd zulip-chatgpt-bot cp .env-example .env nano .env # fill OPENAI_API_KEY cp .zuliprc-example .zuliprc nano .zuliprc # replace with your config python3 -m venv env # optional source env/bin/activate # optional pip install -r requirements.txt python3 bot.py- You may also want to modify the bot role in
.envwhich says:"You are an internal chatbot assistant in a software development company."
docker build -t zulip-chatgpt-bot . docker-compose up -d
