This Discord bot uses voice recognition to interact with users in a voice channel through transcription, processing with a Large Language Model (LLM), and responding with synthesized voice. The bot converts spoken audio to text, sends it to an LLM for processing, and uses Text-to-Speech (TTS) to voice the response.

Additionally, you can just use the bot in text channels.

• Conversation: Engage in a conversation with the bot using voice or text input.
• Music Playback: Play music from YouTube in the voice channel. Say play [query] on youtube or play [query] song to play a song. You can also use the >play command.
• Timers: Set a timer by saying set a timer for [time] or set an alarm for [time]. The bot will notify you when the timer is up.
• Internet search: Ask the bot to search the internet for you by saying search [query] on internet or search on internet for [query]. The bot will respond using the web.
• Vision: Send an image mentioning the bot, and it will react to it in voice chat.

• Node.js and npm installed
• A Discord Bot Token
• Access to OpenAI compatible APIs for STT (Speech to Text), LLM, and TTS services (for fully local, checkout openedai-whisper, ollama and openedai-speech)
• If you wish to use timer and alarms, you need a alarm.mp3 and timer.mp3 files in the sounds folder.

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>

2. Install Dependencies:

   npm install

3. Configure the Environment:

• Rename .env.example to .env.
• Update the .env file with your specific credentials and API endpoints.

1. Start the Bot:

   node bot.js

2. Invite the Bot to Your Discord Server:

• Use the invite link generated through your Discord application page. Here is a quick link with all the permissions the bot should ever need: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=REPLACEME&permissions=964220516416&scope=bot

(Change "REPLACEME" with your bot's ID)

3. Using the Bot in Discord:

• Ensure the bot has permission to join voice channels and speak.
• In a Discord server where the bot is a member, join a voice channel and type the command >join or >join free.
• The bot will join the channel and start listening to users who are speaking. Spoken phrases are processed and responded to in real-time.

• To start a new conversation, mention the bot in your message.
• To continue a conversation, just reply to the bot's message.
• You can also continue conversations by creating a thread from the bot's message. In that case, you no longer need to reply or mention the bot within the thread.

• /join: Command for the bot to join the voice channel you are currently in. The bot will listen to voice input, transcribe it, send it to the LLM if you used a trigger word, and respond with a spoken answer using TTS.
• /join free: Similar to >join, but will respond to everything without using trigger words. Best for solo usage.
• /join silent: Similar to >join, but no confirmation sound will play when trigger is detected/llm responded.
• /join transcribe: Similar to >join, but will save the transcriptions to a file and send it once you use the >leave command.
• /play [song name or URL]: Play a song from YouTube using either its name (search via API) or direct URL. Please note that the search function requires a valid API key. You may also say play [query] on youtube or play [query] song in voice chat.
• /search [query]: Use perplexity LLM search to find the best answer to your query. You may also say search [query] on internet or search on internet for [query] in voice chat.
• /reminder [timestamp] [message]: Set a reminder for a specific time using Discord timestamps.
• /reset: Reset the LLM chat history. You may also say reset chat history in voice chat.
• /leave: Command for the bot to leave the voice channel. You may also say leave voice chat in voice chat.
• /help: Display the list of available commands.

You may at any time say stop to stop the bot while it is speaking.

• Bot Doesn't Join Channel: Ensure the bot has the correct permissions in your Discord server, including the ability to join and speak in voice channels.
• No Audio from Bot: Check that the TTS API is returning valid MP3 audio data and that the bot has permissions to play audio in the channel.
• Errors in Transcription or Response: Verify that the API endpoints and models specified in the .env file are correct and that the APIs are operational.
