How to start the BOT?

STEPS

After downloading, extract the zip file and navigate to that location in your terminal. There will be a file named wbot-* . Run it and you should be good to go.

For Linux you need to provide executable permission before you execute the binary. Run the command -

chmod +x wbot-linux && wbot-linux

I haven't tested Mac and Linix binaries. If you find any issues using them feel free to raise one from here

Configurations

Basic configuration is in bot.json file like replying to Hi, hello and happy birthday. You can add/remove yours if you need. Keep in mind that you need to restart the wbot to see the effects of your changes. Make sure the JSON is valid. Use VSCode or jsonlint to validate the JSON.

bot.json

appconfig

This is where all the application related (node application behavior and such things) config will stay. Will add more in future.

  • isGroupReply whether to send replies in group or not. If set to false, Bot will not reply if message received in group chat.

Why?

The main reason I decided to build this is that I needed a simple tool to reply to my "happy birthday" messages. I know it is kind of blunt and rude but it would take me 2-3 days to reply to all and by that time that moment would be gone. I needed a good solution to this problem. I really don't need a full-fledged AI-BOT or BOT with NLU (or some other acronym). I believe there are many people who also have such needs.

Goals

With that in mind, I know that WBOT would need to satisfy these criteria:

  • 🚀 Fast!!!
  • 👍 Friendly CLI UX
  • 🔒 Does not touch user’s data
  • 💰 Free! for personal use

If you think WBOT delivers these, let me know by putting a star ⭐ on this project
