baibot

🤖 baibot is an AI (Large Language Model) bot for Matrix built by etke.cc (managed Matrix servers).

The name is pronounced 'bye'-bot and is a play on AI, referencing the fictional character 🇧🇬 Bai Ganyo.

It's designed as a more private and featureful alternative to matrix-chatgpt-bot.
It's influenced by chaz, but does not use the AIChat CLI tool and instead does everything in-process, without forking.

🌟 Features

• 🎨 Encourages provider choice (Anthropic, Groq, LocalAI, OpenAI and ☁️ many more) as well as mixing & matching models:

• Supports different use purposes (depending on the ☁️ provider & model):

  • 💬 text-generation: communicating with you via text (though certain models may "see" images as well)
  • 🦻 speech-to-text: turning your voice messages into text
  • 🗣️ text-to-speech: turning bot or users text messages into voice messages
  • 🖌️ image-generation: creating and editing images based on instructions

• 🪄 Supports seamless voice interaction (turning user voice messages into text, answering in text, then turning that text back into voice)

• 🦻 Supports transcribe-only mode (turning user voice messages into text, without doing text-generation)

• 🗣️ Supports text-to-speech-only mode (turning user text messages into voice, without doing text-generation)

• 🔒 Supports encryption for Matrix communication and Account-Data-stored configuration

• ♻️ Supports context-management handling on some models (automatically adjusting the message history length, etc.)

• 🛠️ Allows customizing much of the bot's configuration at runtime (using commands sent via chat)

• 👥 Actively maintained by the team at etke.cc
