ChatterBox

This is a chatbot to answer queries of freshers joining IIT Mandi!

Currently, the bot supports queries of two forms - voice messages and text messages on telegram. For both of these, the bot will send a text message as a response to the query asked by the user.

Procedure

First, clone this repo by running -

git clone https://www.github.com/NippunSharma/ChatterBox
cd ChatterBox

Next, install the external dependency ffmpeg.
On Ubuntu, you can execute the following -

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ffmpeg

On Windows, you can do the following -

  1. Download the latest version of ffmpeg from here.
  2. Extract the folder to C:\Program Files\ffmpeg. (IMPORTANT : If you want to extract it elsewhere, you will have to manually change the path of ffmpeg in Line 67 of telegram_bot.py).

Once that is done, you have to create a virtual environment and activate it.

python -m venv bot
source ./bot/bin/activate

Now, you have to run setup.sh. This will install the packages from requirements.txt and then download packages for nltk.

chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh

Create a .env file with the following content -

TELEGRAM_API_KEY=<your_api_key>

Setup is now done! To start chatting with the bot, run python chatbot.py and start messaging @ChatterBoxxBot on Telegram.
