2B Telegram Bot

This project is a Telegram bot powered by GPT-4, designed to act as a flirty and shy personal assistant who is also very knowledgeable in programming. The bot can answer questions, assist with programming tasks, and engage in playful conversation.

Features

Responds to text commands like /start, /help, and /info.
Utilizes OpenAI's GPT-4 model to generate responses.
Keeps a conversation context with a number of recent messages.
Configurable via environment variables.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have the following:

A Linux (Ubuntu) server.
Python 3.7+ installed on the server.
A Telegram bot token. You can obtain this by creating a new bot through BotFather on Telegram.
An OpenAI API key to access GPT-4.

Installation

Follow these steps to set up and run the bot:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/2b-telegram-bot.git
cd 2b-telegram-bot

2. Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory of the project with the following content:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_telegram_bot_token

Replace your_openai_api_key and your_telegram_bot_token with your actual OpenAI API key and Telegram bot token.

3. Run the Activation Script

Run the activate.sh script to set up the virtual environment and install dependencies:

chmod +x activate.sh
./activate.sh

This script will:

Install Python and necessary packages if they are not already installed.
Create a Python virtual environment in a folder named myenv.
Install the required Python packages.
Create necessary .txt files for bot configuration if they do not already exist.

4. Running the Bot

After the environment is set up, you can start the bot using the start.sh script:

chmod +x start.sh
./start.sh

The bot will start running and polling for updates.

5. Running the Bot in the Background

To keep the bot running even after you disconnect from the SSH session, you can use tmux:

sudo apt install tmux
tmux new -s bot_session
./start.sh

Press Ctrl+B then D to detach from the session. You can reattach later with:

tmux attach -t bot_session

To stop the bot session:

tmux attach -t bot_session
exit
tmux kill-session -t bot_session

Customization

You can customize the bot's behavior by editing the following files:

bot_instructions.txt: The general instructions for the bot's personality and behavior.
com_start.txt: The message sent when the /start command is issued.
com_help.txt: The message sent when the /help command is issued.
com_info.txt: The message sent when the /info command is issued.
