Running your own bot

1. Replace knowledge-base.txt with your own knowledge-base

• Delete the existing .ext
• Add your stuff in knowledge-base
• Run python concat.py to compile the above folder into knowledge-base.txt

2. Set OPENAI_API_KEY and TELEGRAM_TOKEN environment variables.

• OPENAI_API_KEY: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
• TELEGRAM_TOKEN: https://t.me/BotFather

You can test requests using python request.py without a telegram token

3. Override instructions and owner id to fit your usage.

• You can find your owner id at https://t.me/username_to_id_bot

4. Run or deploy to cloud

• run locally with docker, or: pip install -r "requirements.txt" then python bot.py
• or deploy to cloud with https://fly.io: flyctl deploy --ha=false (atm the script only supports 1 machine, check the example fly.toml)
• add bot in a group and use /add_group groupid to whitelist it and the bot is ready to answer questions with /prompt whenever you want

5. Configure the bot

• /add_admin your_id to add yourself as an admin
• /add_group group_id to add a new group with rate limiting of 10 messages/day
