ChatGPT Slackbot written in Node.js, incorporated queueing mechanism, Docker containerized

ChatGPT Slack Bot

This Slack Bot is implemented in Node.js, under the hood it depends on transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-api, which uses puppeteer browser as solution to connect with ChatGPT.

This service is docker containerized and can be deployed onto servers with headless chromium browser without an active display. (Suggested to use google login in order to bypass recaptcha)

It also incorporates queue mechanism with redis, so that it is more flexible to handle request spikes, make sure the requests are sent one by one and in order to protect from being rate limited by ChatGPT.

Usage

• The slackbot will listen to two types of event in slack workspace
  • Directly message the bot in slack.
  • Mention your bot in a channel with a question. For example: @ChatGPT BOT who is Donald trump?
• To ask follow up question, reply in the answer thread, otherwise it will treat it as a new question.

Mention in Channel

Direct Message

Start Modes

This app has two modes to start:

1. slackbot - listens to slack event for user requests, put request to redis queue, reply to slack on answer received.
