Telegram Bot with ChatGPT and Golang

This is a Telegram bot created with ChatGPT and Golang. The bot uses OpenAI's GPT-3 language model to generate responses to user messages in real-time.

Prerequisites

To build and run this application, you'll need to have the following software installed on your system:

• Go

Features

• Generates human-like responses to user messages using ChatGPT API
• Persisting of user messages with sqlite
• Telegram support
• Built with Go for fast and efficient performance?

Before you can use the bot, you'll need to create a Telegram bot using the BotFather framework. Once you have created a bot and obtained an API token, you'll also need an API key from OpenAI

This is an example .env file

TELEGRAM_API_KEY=""
OPENAI_TOKEN=""
RETAIN_HISTORY="false"

RETAIN_HISTORY="true" submits the previous conversations with the current text, see here, but when false, it only sends the prompt + the current users text, this reduces the amount of tokens been send per request.

create a prompt.txt or rename the example file

$ mv prompt.example.txt prompt.txt

the prompt helps you customize how the bot will react to messages
