Matrix ChatGPT Bot

Talk to ChatGPT via your favourite Matrix client!

A Matrix bot that uses transitive-bullshit/chatgpt-api to access the unofficial ChatGPT API.

Usage

2. Add the bot
3. Start chatting away!

Features

• Shows typing indicator as ChatGPT is thinking!
• Supports encryption
• Stores context for ChatGPT conversations

Configure

Bot

cp .env.example .env

You must adjust the settings in the .env file according to your needs. See below for help.

Matrix

You need a Matrix account on Matrix.org (or any other server).

The bot outputs MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN to the console if it is not already set but MATRIX_BOT_USERNAME & MATRIX_BOT_PASSWORD are.

You must set MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN to use this token. Do not use it with any other client.

You no longer need to use the MATRIX_BOT_PASSWORD field but you can leave it set if you want.

OpenAI / ChatGPT

You must read the authentication instructions for chatgpt-api if you get stuck.

Using the same account at chat.openai.com may refresh tokens invalidating the bot's session.

Ensure your OpenAI account uses Google and set OPENAI_LOGIN_TYPE to google.

If the Google account uses 2FA it will fail but there is a workaround
