Usage

The AI's are designed to respond to natural language queries from users. You can ask them questions, or just have a casual conversation.

Voice Messages

When dealing with voice messages, you have 3 options for transcription: using groq's Whisper API for free (recommended), utilizing the Whisper API or the local method. Each option has its own considerations, including cost and performance.

Groq API:
  • Setup:
    1. Obtain a Groq API key from Groq Console.
    2. In the .env file, set TRANSCRIPTION_ENABLED to "true" and TRANSCRIPTION_METHOD to "whisper-groq".
Whisper API:
  • Cost: Utilizing the Whisper API incurs a cost of US$0.06 per 10 minutes of audio.
  • Setup:
    1. Obtain an OpenAI API key and place it in the .env file under the OPENAI_API_KEY variable.
    2. In the .env file, set TRANSCRIPTION_ENABLED to "true" and TRANSCRIPTION_METHOD to "whisper-api".
Local Mode:
  • Cost: The local method is free but may be slower and less precise.
  • Setup:
    1. Download a model of your choice from here. Download any .bin file and place it in the ./whisper/models folder.
    2. Modify the .env file by changing TRANSCRIPTION_ENABLED to "true", TRANSCRIPTION_METHOD to "local", and "TRANSCRIPTION_MODEL" with the name of the model you downloaded. While setting a language in TRANSCRIPTION_LANGUAGE is not mandatory, it is recommended for better performance.

Group Chat

To utilize it in a group chat, you will need to either mention it by using her username with the "@" symbol (e.g., @Sydney) or reply directly to her last message.

Available commands

  • !help: Displays a message listing all available commands.
  • !help followed by a specific command, e.g., !help reset: Provides detailed information about the selected command.
  • If you wish to customize the command prefix, you can do so in the .env file to better suit your preferences.
