matrix-chatgpt-bot

Your Rust-based AI chatbot (https://github.com/arcuru/chaz) was an inspiration! It made me think: we don't have to suffer the brokenness of the old bot (https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot) anymore. Still, I wanted something more thread-based and more powerful than what you had built.. and I wanted a playground to learn some Rust. To clarify for anyone that might get confused: baibot (https://github.com/etkecc/baibot) is not based on any of the chaz code, nor on the matrix-chatgpt-bot code. It's completely manually-built / independently-built (in Rust), by me, over multiple months of unpaid FOSS work.

Oo how does it compared to matrix chatGPT bot (supports Claude despite its name)? https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot Disclaimer: I’m a small contributor to that repo

I have my own Matrix & Bridges setup (just like Beeper but with too much maintenance). It's super easy to write bots that you can then hook into Signal, WhatsApp etc, because essentially you only need to talk to your Matrix server, and the bridges take care of the rest. Talking to Matrix is easy - there's a straightforward HTTP API. The other day I connected the matrix-chatgpt-bot (https://github.com/matrixgpt/matrix-chatgpt-bot) with WhatsApp - it was very funny to see how people reacted.
