ChatGPT Bot with NodeJs

Author: @monokaijs

Note:

⚠️ Warning: Vercel only provides you 10 secs for processing "function" (it means your bot only have 10 seconds to response to the user), but OpenAI platforms often takes about 20 secs to process a request. This may lead your bot to not replying incoming messages. To resolve this, you can use another platform that allow a longer function processing time or upgrade to a higher plan on Vercel.

Another side note is that using English in conversation will significant improve the response time from OpenAI. Be noticed!

This project can be run both using NodeJs or NextJs. I've tried to migrate this application for you to deploy it onto Vercel Platform without any obstacles.

In NodeJs mode, the application will run a Telegram Bot Instance using Polling Mode, while for Vercel, it must be a webhook to achieve the goal.

Overall, it's quite easy to migrate this application to another platforms: Discord, Messenger, ... or whatever messaging platform you like, as long as it allows us to send/receive messages via APIs. I will talk about this further in another project or a deeper fork of this product. However, today, let's focus on Telegram first.

git clone https://github.com/monokaijs/chatgpt-bot-nodejs

Changelog

In this version, I have added support for Vercel deployment using Next.Js. This will enable you to use Vercel's platform to deploy this chatbot without having to set up your own server.
