How to Build a LLM Chat Bot in Discord: The Ultimate Guide

Discord is a free voice and text chat app for iPhone and Android that lets you communicate with your friends and co-workers like never before. A Discord chat bot is a chatbot that lives in your Discord server, and it can be programmed to do a variety of things, from playing games to sending messages.

In this blog post, we're going to show you how to build a Discord chat bot in just a few minutes. We'll be using the Discord.js library, which makes it easy to interact with the Discord API.

Getting Started

To get started, we need to create a new file called index.js. We're going to start by requiring the Discord.js library and creating a new Discord client:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

Configuration

Next, we need to define a few things:

• The token that we'll be using to connect to the Discord API. You can find this in your Discord settings.
• The prefix that we'll be using for our bot's commands.
• The ID of the channel that our bot should be listening for commands in.

const token = 'your-token-here';
const prefix = '!';
const channelId = 'your-channel-id-here';

Command: Ping

Now that we have our basic configuration set up, we can start writing our bot's commands. Let's start with a simple "ping" command:

client.on('message', message => {
  if (message.content === `${prefix}ping`) {
    message.channel.send('pong!');
  }
});

This command will cause our bot to respond with "pong!" whenever someone types "!ping" in the channel that our bot is listening in.

Command: Rock-Paper-Scissors

Now let's add a more complex command that will play a game of rock-paper-scissors against the user:

client.on('message', message => {
  if (message.content === `${prefix}rps`) {
    const hands = ['rock', 'paper', 'scissors'];
    const hand = hands[Math.floor(Math.random() * hands.length)];
    message.channel.send(`I choose ${hand}!`);
  }
});

This command will have our bot choose a random hand (rock, paper, or scissors) and then reply with what it has chosen.

Command: Website Link

Finally, let's add a command that will give the user a link to our website:

client.on('message', message => {
  if (message.content === `${prefix}website`) {
    message.channel.send('https://www.example.com');
  }
});

This command will send the user a link to our website.
