1. Clone this repository and install the dependencies:

cd mikobot
npm install

2. Add your bot token to the .env file in the project directory:

DISCORD_TOKEN=<insert your Discord bot token here>

For more information on how to create a bot application, see here.

3. Run the application:

node src/index.js

For more information on how to do so, see here.

On the OAuth2 URL Generator page, make sure to check bot under Scopes and check Read Messages/View Channels and Send Messages under Bot Permissions.

To generate a message, @mention the bot user. Note that by default the bot also sends generated messages when the number of messages sent by users reaches a certain amount since the bot last sent a message.

To prevent the bot from sending messages in certain channels, simply use Discord's permission system to disable the View Channel permission for the bot in such channels.
