HenryBot is a fun interactive bot for groupchats in telegram. The bot will respond to any triggers that are added, with the given responses. His triggers can be seen by issuing the /triggers command, while commands can be added with the /add command.
Henry's triggers are global, meaning that you can see the triggers of other chats and the other way around. One might argue this has its drawbacks, but I would argue that it creates some hilarious situations. HenryBot supports all unicode characters, among which are emojis, greek letters and different fonts.
This bot can be found on telegram.
The repo is build up like this: I develop the bot in bot.ipynb, because I think it is quite handy. Using the notebook2script.py (credits to Jeremy Howard from fast.ai) this notebook is converted to bot.py. To get a clear overview of all the components, I advise you to look at bot.py. Lib.py contains some useful additional functions like database access.
If you would like to run this project, you should have a config.ini containing two things:
RDS
- url
- db
- username
- password
telegram
- api_token
You can put any database information in RDS, its just called that cause that's what I use. Make sure to have a triggers table in your database and you should be ready to go.
