Discord Bot with AI
Building a Discord Bot with ChatGPT and Google AI Scripts
I created two scripts for a Discord bot: one using ChatGPT and another leveraging Google AI Gemini. Here's a quick overview of the process and key details:
ChatGPT and Google AI Scripts
Initially, I used ChatGPT with free tokens. However, after running out of tokens and not saving screenshots, I decided to create another script, this time with Google AI Gemini.
Both scripts perform well, but Google AI Gemini offers a free option, making it a fantastic alternative.
Handling Discord's Output Limits
Discord imposes a 2000-character limit per message. To address this:
I used Python to check the length of outputs.
If the output exceeds the limit, the script automatically splits it into chunks of 2000 characters and sends them sequentially.
API Key Management
To run the bot:
You'll need to provide your own API keys for Discord and the AI service you choose.
API keys should be stored securely in a .env file for Python. This helps keep them safe and allows easy integration into your project.
Why Both AI Scripts?
ChatGPT: Offers robust capabilities and excellent natural language processing.
Google AI Gemini: Free and still delivers impressive performance, making it a great option for users without ChatGPT tokens.
Enjoy building and customizing your Discord bot! This setup ensures flexibility and scalability while providing the tools to manage Discord's limitations effectively.
