Install the official SDK for your AI provider:Step 2: Create Provider Module#
Create a new file in providers/, e.g., anthropic.js:Step 3: Update Providers Index#
Include the new provider in providers/index.js:Step 4: Update SmartResponse Logic#
Modify SmartResponse.generateAIResponse to handle the new provider:Add the new provider configuration in config.yml:Step 6: Test Your Provider#
Restart the bot and confirm the new provider works.
Send a test message in a whitelisted channel.
Ensure the AI responds as expected.
Usage#
Bot Interaction#
The bot listens to messages in whitelisted channels and categories.
If RequireMention is enabled, mention the bot to trigger a response.
Multi-step responses use Discord buttons:Show Next Step: Proceed to the next message in a sequence.
Ask Another Question: Opens a modal for new input.
Internal Knowledge Base#
Place your reference documents in resources/docs/, resources/wiki/, or resources/knowledge_base/.
The bot automatically indexes and retrieves context from these sources.
Conversation Cache#
Responses are cached to improve performance.
Cache timeout ensures memory is not consumed indefinitely.
Automatic Module Management#
The bot verifies required modules on runtime:Logs missing dependencies.
Installs them automatically via npm install.
Continues execution after installation.
