OpenChat leads the way in decentralised communication, and with the introduction of OpenChat Bots, the platform reshapes how users interact.
What Are OpenChat Bots?
OpenChat Bots are automated entities designed to interact with users, perform tasks, and enhance communication. These bots range from simple command-driven tools to complex, autonomous agents, offering various functions tailored to your needs.
Types of OpenChat Bots
Julian Jelfs, a Software Engineer at OpenChat, defines three main types of bots, each serving distinct purposes:
- Command Bots: Activated by user input. For example, a chatbot that responds to user queries.
- Integration Bots: Activated by external systems (like connected applications), these bots perform tasks without requiring user initiation.
- Autonomous Bots: These bots operate independently, making decisions and interacting with OpenChat’s backend autonomously, such as AI-driven agents.
How to Activate Bots in Your Community
OpenChat allows you to create and customise your community. Once you set up your community, you can easily introduce bots to enhance its functionality.
A Disclaimer
By default, OpenChat bots use LLAMA 3, which may have some limitations in knowledge. However, this is just the beginning. You can train OpenChat bots, tailoring them to your specific community needs, similar to the concept of AI agents.
How Does LLAMA 3 Work?
LLAMA 3 uses a transformer-based architecture to understand and generate human-like text. LLAMA 3 handles complex natural language processing tasks, such as text generation, summarisation, and question-answering, with models ranging from 8 billion to 405 billion parameters.
Its expanded context window processes up to 128,000 tokens, allowing it to manage longer conversations while maintaining context. LLAMA 3 also supports multilingual and multimodal inputs, making it highly versatile.
What sets LLAMA 3 apart is its open-source nature, allowing developers to fine-tune the model for specific applications. Whether you’re creating a simple bot or a complex AI agent, LLAMA 3 provides the foundational capabilities to build smarter, more efficient bots on OpenChat.
Installing the Bot in Just a Few Clicks
Follow these simple steps to install the bot in your community:
- Enter your community and click on the main header (see the image below).
- Click “Add Bot” in the side window that appears.
- Select the LLAMA 3 icon and click to install.
That’s it! Your bot is now installed and ready to use.
Using the Bot
To interact with your bot, simply use the /prompt command in the community chat. After entering your prompt, click on the bot icon and send your message. The bot will respond to your query instantly.
It’s important to remember that whenever you want to ask the bot a question or reply, always use the /prompt command for smooth interaction.
