feature request: bot replies in threads about oobabot HOT 4 CLOSED

I believe this part of my feedback issue is relevant: #1

Also, maybe a way to have it reply to a user to respond, and a way to break this out in such a situation so it replies coherently to each person separately. This is probably why Clyde makes threads instead of constantly replying to someone, to make it easier to track conversations and manage context.

This could be a toggleable feature. I think having the bot start threads will result in more coherent conversations on specific topics within a single channel. That way, each request only has relevant messages in the context so the bot can accurately respond to multiple people about multiple things. In the interim, creating a thread manually is a great workaround, I'm glad it works as expected!

Hi @Skrownerve,

I've added this feature in the latest main. It should be included in the 0.1.6 release early next week.

There are some gotchas if you're running an environment where some users are prohibited from creating public threads. If that's the case for anyone reading this you'll want to see my note in the commit: 74e9111

v0.1.6 is out, which adds support for this! Check it out.
