Repository for a slack bot app connected to the OpenAI API. Our method is inspired by this blogpost.

Update (09/03/2023) 📢: added the latest Chat Completion engine gpt-3.5-turbo!

$ git clone https://github.com/ggendro/slack-gpt.git
$ cd slack-gpt
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

To connect the bot to Slack and OpenAI, you need a <slack_app_token>, a <slack_bot_token>, and an <openai_api_key>. Follow the following steps to generate them:

To obtain the <slack_app_token>, you need to create an app with the Slack API.

You need to give your app the following permissions:

• app_mentions:read
• channels:history
• channels:read
• chat:write
• files:write

Enable socket mode and copy the generated token, this is your <slack_app_token>.

Stay in Slack API. Enable "Event Subscription" and subscribe to the "app_mention" bot event.

Generate a Bot User OAuth Token in OAuth & Permissions, this is the <slack_bot_token>.

An OpenAI API key is also required and can be obtained on the OpenAI API page. Once obtained, it must be pasted under <openai_api_key> as described in the usage section.

To launch the server, run the following script:

python app.py --slack_app_token <slack_app_token> --slack_bot_token <slack_bot_token> --openai_api_key <openai_api_key>

You will be able to communicate with the bot in your slack workspace using the name given in your app.
