  "Zappy",
  "ZappyBot",
  "Zappy-Bot",
  "Zappy Bot",
  "zappy",
  "zappybot",
  "zappy-bot",
  "zappy bot",
  "gpt",

  "GPT-3",
  "bot",
  "Bot",
  "BOT",
  "zappy,",
  "Zappy,",
  "ZAPPY,",
  "zappy?",
  "Zappy?",
  "ZAPPY?",
  "zappy!",

To change the prefixes, update the array located inside src/configs/constants.config.ts

Example

zappy What is the meaning of life?
bot What is the meaning of life?

The bot only responds to messages that are received by you, not sent. It will also work with group messages.

Crons

The crons are used to schedule periodic messages to contacts defined inside the src/data/recipients.json file. Currently it includes one cron that will generate a good morning text from ChatGPT and send that message your recipients every Tuesday at 9:10AM You can find the service located in src/services/message.service.ts. You can add as many crons that fit your need.

Troubleshooting

Incase you get an sqlite related error, Ensure you have a folder called db created at the root of the project, at the same level as the src folder. This is used to store an sqlite database that is used to store a conversation's context which will enable you to ask follow up questions to the ChatGPT
