AutoGPT-Discord

A plugin to enable you to control and watch your AutoGPT instance from Discord!

📚 Requirements

1. Python Package: Install the discord Python package:

pip install discord

2. Discord Bot Token: Visit the link https://discord.com/developers/docs/getting-started

• Press the Create App button and log in with your Discord account.
• Name the app anything you want, I like to name it AutoGPT for readability.
• Navigate to the Bot tab on the left side of the screen, and scroll down to the Priviliged Gateway Intents section.
• Enable the Server Members Intent and the Message Content Intent.
• Then, press the OAuth2 -> URL Generator tab.
• Press bot in the scopes section. Then, in bot permissions, check send messages and read message history.
• Scroll down and copy the link. Paste the link into a new tab, and invite the bot to a server of your choosing! (You must have admin access to this server)
• Go back to the bot tab, and press Reset Token. Copy this token, and keep this safe, as you will use this to configure the plugin later on.

🔧 Configuration

1. Update the .env file: Add the following lines to your .env file:

################################################################################
### DISCORD PLUGIN SETTINGS
################################################################################

DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=sadfJHo3h4h3heof
AUTHORIZED_USER_IDS=111111,222222,333333
BOT_PREFIX=!
CHANNEL_ID=123456789
ASK_FOR_INPUT=True

• DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN: This is the bot token that you received from Step Two.
• AUTHORIZED_USER_IDS: A list of comma separated Discord User IDS that will have access to control AutoGPT. If you don't know how to get this, search up "How to get Discord User Id"
• BOT_PREFIX: The prefix to use when using commands with the Discord Bot.
• CHANNEL_ID: The channel id in which the bot will be giving information, and requesting input. If you don't know how to get this, search up "How to get Discord Channel Id"
• ASK_FOR_INPUT: Whether to ask for user confirmation and/or feedback before running a command.

2. Run the bot in continuous mode: Run AutoGPT with the extra argument --continuous

• Without this, the plugin is useless as you still have to manually confirm commands in the actual AutoGPT instance.
• You can configure if you want AutoGPT to be truly continuous with the ASK_FOR_INPUT env variable. If this is False, then AutoGPT will be truly continuous: running commands without consulting you. If this is True, AutoGPT will ask you in Discord to approve, deny, or to provide feedback on the command.

3. Allowlist Plugin: In your .env file, search for ALLOWLISTED_PLUGINS and add this plugin:

################################################################################
ALLOWLISTED PLUGINS
################################################################################

#ALLOWLISTED_PLUGINS - Sets the listed plugins that are allowed (Example: plugin1,plugin2,plugin3)
ALLOWLISTED_PLUGINS=AutoGPTDiscord

🤖 Commands

Remember to use your bot prefix directly before running any commands!

• shutdown: Shuts down the entire AutoGPT instance.
