The ChatGPT Zulip Bot is a bot that responds to users by using the ChatGPT language model. It can be used in any Zulip chat streams or private messages.

• Add /end to end the current conversation, which is shorter and fits Zulip syntexes.

• Upgraded the model from text-davinci-003 to gpt-3.5-turbo by default. It can be configured in config.ini.
• Added contextual support, allowing the bot to answer questions based on the context of the conversation. Type 停止会话 or end the conversation to end the current conversation.
• The output will also show numbers of tokens used in the conversation.
• Implemented conversation history trimming to ensure it stays within OpenAI's maximum token limit.
• Fixed a bug causing the bot to crash during long conversations.
• Resolved an issue where the bot would reply privately when mentioned in a group conversation.

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yeahjack/chatgpt_zulip_bot.git

2. Install the required dependencies (You might need to create a virtual env if you like):

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up your Zulip bot:

• Go to your Zulip organization settings, and navigate to the "Your bots" section.
• Click the "Add a new bot" button and follow the prompts to create a new bot.
• Download the configuartion file and move it to this folder.
• Rename config.ini.example to config.ini and fill in the values, note that you do not have to add commas (" ") around the values.

4. Start the bot:

python chatgpt_zulip_bot.py

5. Errors

When having errors, the bot will send a message to the admin and set the status to away (Seems the later does not work).

Here are the explanations of parameters in config.ini.

To use the bot, mention it in any Zulip stream or send it a private message. You can mention the bot by typing @bot_name where the name is what you gave to the bot when you created it.

The bot will respond to your message by generating text using the ChatGPT language model. You can customize the bot's behavior by modifying the chatgpt_zulip_bot.py file.

If you need to set a proxy for the OpenAI API, the normal method would be

import os
os.environ["http_proxy"] = "http://127.0.0.1:7890"
os.environ["https_proxy"] = "http://127.0.0.1:7890"

Remember to replace both strings to your proxy address and port.

• The bot's status cannot be set to away when it's offline or not running.

• Output the content by stream - will discover the zulip API to see whether it is supported.
