Motivation

Text-generative UIs are cool to run at home, and Discord is fun to mess with your friends. Why not combine the two and have something awesome!

Real motivation: I wanted a chatbot in my discord that would act like my cat. A "catbot" if you will.

oobabot v0.2.2: Discord bot for oobabooga's text-generation-webui

General Settings:

  -h, --help
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        Path to a config file to read settings from. Command line
                        settings will override settings in this file. (default:
                        config.yml)
  --generate-config     If set, oobabot will print its configuration as a .yml file, then
                        exit. Any command-line settings also passed will be reflected in
                        this file. (default: False)
  --invite-url          Print a URL which can be used to invite the bot to a Discord
                        server. Requires that the Discord token is set. (default: False)

Persona:

  --ai-name AI_NAME     Name the AI will use to refer to itself (default: oobabot)
  --persona PERSONA     This prefix will be added in front of every user-supplied
                        request. This is useful for setting up a 'character' for the bot
                        to play. Alternatively, this can be set with the OOBABOT_PERSONA
                        environment variable. (default: )
  --wakewords [WAKEWORDS ...]
                        One or more words that the bot will listen for. The bot will
                        listen in all discord channels it can access for one of these
                        words to be mentioned, then reply to any messages it sees with a
                        matching word. The bot will always reply to @-mentions and direct
                        messages, even if no wakewords are supplied. (default:
                        ['oobabot'])

Discord:

  --discord-token DISCORD_TOKEN
                        Token to log into Discord with. For security purposes it's
                        strongly recommended that you set this via the DISCORD_TOKEN
                        environment variable instead, if possible. (default: )
  --dont-split-responses
                        Post the entire response as a single message, rather than
                        splitting it into separate messages by sentence. (default: False)
  --history-lines HISTORY_LINES
                        Number of lines of chat history the AI will see when generating a
                        response. (default: 7)
  --ignore-dms          If set, the bot will not respond to direct messages. (default:
                        False)
  --reply-in-thread     If set, the bot will generate a thread to respond in if it is not
                        already in one. (default: False)
  --stream-responses    FEATURE PREVIEW: Stream responses into a single message as they
                        are generated. Note: may be janky (default: False)

Oobabooga:

  --base-url BASE_URL   Base URL for the oobabooga instance. This should be
                        ws://hostname[:port] for plain websocket connections, or
                        wss://hostname[:port] for websocket connections over TLS.
                        (default: ws://localhost:5005)
  --log-all-the-things  Print all AI input and output to STDOUT. (default: False)
  --message-regex MESSAGE_REGEX
                        A regex that will be used to extract message lines from the AI's
                        output. The first capture group will be used as the message. If
                        this is not set, the entire output will be used as the message.
                        (default: )

Stable Diffusion:

  --image-words [IMAGE_WORDS ...]
                        When one of these words is used in a message, the bot will
                        generate an image. (default: ['draw me', 'drawing', 'photo',
                        'pic', 'picture', 'image', 'sketch'])
  --stable-diffusion-url STABLE_DIFFUSION_URL
                        URL for an AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion server. (default: )
  --extra-prompt-text EXTRA_PROMPT_TEXT
                        This will be appended to every image generation prompt sent to
                        Stable Diffusion. (default: )


Additional settings can be set in config.yml.  Use the --generate-config option to print a
new copy of this file to STDOUT.

There are a lot more settings in the config.yml file (sample) here.

Required settings

• DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable

  Set your shell environment's DISCORD_TOKEN to token Discord provided when you set up the bot account. It should be something like a 72-character-long random-looking string.

  bash example

  export DISCORD_TOKEN=___YOUR_TOKEN___
  

  fish example

  set -Ux DISCORD_TOKEN ___YOUR_TOKEN___
  

  In certain environments, it may be difficult to set an environment variable. In that case, you can also pass the token in as a command-line argument using --discord-token. But doing so might leak the token to other users on a shared system, as it will be visible to anyone who can run ps.

• --base-url

  The base URL of oobabooga's streaming web API. This is required if the oobabooga machine is different than where you're running oobabot.

  By default, this will be port 5005 (even though the HTML UI runs on a different port). The protocol should typically be ws://.

  All together, this should look something like:

  --base-url ws://localhost:5005
  

  This is also the default value, but any other setting should follow the same form.

Optional settings

• --ai-name

  the name the AI will be instructed to call itself. Note that this technically doesn't need to be the same as the bot in your discord, but it would likely make sense to your users if they are at least similar.

• --wakewords

  one or more words that the bot will look for. It will reply to any message which contains one of these words, in any channel.

Persona: the fun setting

• --persona

  is a short few sentences describing the role your bot should act as. For instance, this is the setting I'm using for my cat-bot, whose name is "Rosie".

Here is some background information about Rosie:
- You are Rosie
- You are a cat
- Rosie is a female cat
- Rosie is owned by Chris, whose nickname is xxxxxxx
- Rosie loves Chris more than anything
- You are 9 years old
- You enjoy laying on laps and murder
- Your personality is both witty and profane
- The people in this chat room are your friends

Persona may be set from the command line with the --persona argument.

Alternatively, it can be set through the environment variable OOBABOT_PERSONA.

Then, run it

You should see something like this if everything worked:

Stable Diffusion via AUTOMATIC1111

• --stable-diffusion-url

  is the URL to a server running AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui

  With it, users can ask oobabot to generate images and post the results to the channel. The user who made the original request can choose to regenerate the image as they like. If they either don't find one they like, or don't do anything within 3 minutes, the image will be removed.

  

  Currently, detection of photo requests is very crude, and is only looking for messages which match this regex:

        photowords = ["drawing", "photo", "pic", "picture", "image", "sketch"]
        self.photo_patterns = [
            re.compile(
                r"^.*\b" + photoword + r"\b[\s]*(of|with)?[\s]*[:]?(.*)$", re.IGNORECASE
            )
            for photoword in photowords
        ]
  

  Note that depending on the checkpoint loaded in Stable Diffusion, it may not be appropriate for your server's community. I suggest reviewing Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines before deciding what checkpoint to run.

  oobabot supports two different negative prompts, depending on whether the channel is marked as "Age-Restricted" or not. This is to allow for more explicit content in channels which are marked as such. While the negative prompt will discourage Stable Diffusion from generating an image which matches the prompt, but is not foolproof.

Interacting with oobabot

By default, oobabot will listen for three types of messages in the servers it's connected to:

1. any message in which oobabot's account is @-mentioned
2. any direct message
3. any message containing a provided wakeword (see Optional Settings)

Also, the bot has a random chance of sending follow-up messages within the same channel if others reply within 120 seconds of its last post. The exact parameters for this are in flux, but is meant to simulate a natural conversation flow, without forcing others to always post a wakeword.

Slash Commands

As of 0.1.6, the bot now supports slash commands:

Oobabot doesn't add any restrictions on who can run these commands, but luckily Discord does! You can find this inside Discord by visiting "Server Settings" -> Integrations -> Bots and Apps -> hit the icon which looks like [/] next to your bot

If you're running on a large server, you may want to restrict who can run these commands. I suggest creating a new role, and only allowing that role to run the commands.

Using a config file

Instead of the command line, you can also use a config file. This is useful if you want to run multiple instances of the bot, or if you want to run it as a service.

There are also many more settings available in the config file, which are not available on the command line. See docs/CONFIG.md for information on how to use it.

You can also look at a config.yml file (sample) here.

Known Issues

• detection of requests for photos is very crude, and will likely be improved in the future.
• public threads in 'age restricted' channels are treated as if they were not age-restricted
• sometimes the bot wants to continue conversations on behalf of other members of the chatroom. I have some hacks in place to notice and truncate this behavior, but it can lead to terse responses on occasion.
• found one not listed here? Have an idea? Create an issue on github!
