How to Integrate ChatGPT to Your Own Discord Bot

ChatGPT is a powerful language model developed by OpenAI. This article will teach you how to integrate it with a Discord bot to help teams work more efficiently and foster communication and collaboration. We will show you how to do the integration without writing a single line of code. If you want to have customization, it is very easy to customize the integration by changing a few simple configuration settings

Introduction

First, we open source the code for the integration. Check it out at：ChatGPT-Discord-Bot. To use a ChatGPT bot in Discord. You only need to type /chat in the input box, and a keyword /chat message will be automatically inserted. You can directly enter text to interact with ChatGPT. In addition, we also integrated the DALL·E 2 model, so you can use /imagine prompt to generate images through text, as shown below:
