Setting up ChatGPT (optional)

The playbook can install and configure matrix-chatgpt-bot for you.

Talk to ChatGPT via your favourite Matrix client!

Note: matrix-chatgpt-bot is now an archived (unmaintained) project. Talking to ChatGPT (and many other LLM providers) can happen via the much more featureful baibot bot supported by the playbook.

1. Register the bot account

The playbook does not automatically create users for you. The bot requires an access token to be able to connect to your homeserver.

You need to register the bot user manually before setting up the bot.

Choose a strong password for the bot. You can generate a good password with a command like this: pwgen -s 64 1.

You can use the playbook to register a new user:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --extra-vars='username=bot.chatgpt password=PASSWORD_FOR_THE_BOT admin=no' --tags=register-user

2. Get an access token and create encryption keys

Refer to the documentation on how to obtain an access token.

To make sure the bot can read encrypted messages, it will need an encryption key, just like any other new user. While obtaining the access token, follow the prompts to setup a backup key. More information can be found in the element documentation.

3. Adjusting the playbook configuration

Add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.example.com/vars.yml file (adapt to your needs):

matrix_bot_chatgpt_enabled: true

# Obtain a new API key from https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
matrix_bot_chatgpt_openai_api_key: ''

# This is the default username
# matrix_bot_chatgpt_matrix_bot_username_localpart: 'bot.chatgpt'

# Matrix access token (from bot user above)
# see: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/131056/how-to-get-an-access-token-for-element-riot-matrix
matrix_bot_chatgpt_matrix_access_token: ''

# Configuring the system promt used, needed if the bot is used for special tasks.
# More information: https://github.com/mustvlad/ChatGPT-System-Prompts
matrix_bot_chatgpt_matrix_bot_prompt_prefix: 'Instructions:\nYou are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI.'

You will need to get tokens for ChatGPT.

4. Installing

After configuring the playbook, run the installation command:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=install-all,start

Usage

To use the bot, invite the @bot.chatgpt:example.com to the room you specified in a config, after that start speaking to it, use the prefix if you configured one or mention the bot.

You can also refer to the upstream documentation.
