How to set up the ChatGPT Discord bot with Docker?

Build and run the Docker container using docker compose up -d, then check logs with docker logs -t chatgpt-discord-bot. Ensure your .env file is configured with the Discord bot token and optional API keys as per the setup steps.

Can I use the ChatGPT Discord bot for free without API keys?

Yes, it includes a free provider using g4f, but the README warns it's unstable and uses outdated models, close to GPT-3.5 capabilities. For reliable performance, premium API keys are recommended.

How to switch AI models in the Discord bot?

Use the /provider command in your Discord server to switch between available providers like OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or the free option. The bot lists options based on your configured API keys.

ChatGPT Discord bot vs other AI Discord bots like MEE6?

This bot specializes in multi-provider AI chat and image generation with self-hosting, while bots like MEE6 offer broader moderation features. Choose this if you need flexible AI models and custom personas within Discord.

How to add admin users for jailbreak personas?

Set the ADMIN_USER_IDS in the .env file with comma-separated Discord user IDs. Only these users can access jailbreak personas via /switchpersona, ensuring security as described in the admin-only access section.

Does the ChatGPT Discord bot support image generation with DALL-E 3?

Yes, with an OpenAI API key, you can use /draw [prompt] openai for DALL-E 3 image generation. The README specifies this under image generation with premium providers like OpenAI and Gemini.

How to customize the AI's system prompt?

Modify the system_prompt.txt file with your desired text, which is invoked when the bot starts or resets. This allows initial behavior customization, as explained in the optional setup section.

Cons

Unstable Free Tier
