Pseudo random text generator bot for telegram based on Markov chains

A telegram bot based on markov chain

Generate pseudo random sentences using the markov chain model. You will need Python3+ to use this project.

Installation

1. Download

$ git clone https://github.com/joaorafaelm/markov-bot
$ cd markov-bot

2. Requirements

$ pipenv install --dev

3. Env vars

In order to run the bot, you need to define the env vars TELEGRAM_TOKEN and ADMIN_USERNAMES*:

$ cp local.env .env
$ vim .env

Optionally you can set another trigger command to generate sentences. (default: /sentence)

Running the bot

After defining the variables, run:

$ pipenv run python markov.py

Add the bot to a group chat, disable the bot privacy settings (it means that the bot will receive all messages, not just the ones starting with "/") and run the command /enable to start collecting text. Run /sentence (or the command you defined using the env var SENTENCE_COMMAND) to generate random sentences. You might need a reasonable amount of text before getting some sentences. If you wish to delete the model, run /remove.

Providing initial data

If you already have some text, place it in the data/ dir in a <name_of_the_chat_group>.txt file.

Have fun :)
