Creating a Discord chat bot using TypeScript and OpenAI with a GPT-3 model is a great way to add interactive and personalized functionality to a Discord server.
In this article, I will go through the steps to create a simple Discord chat bot that responds to users’ messages.
Step 1: Set up a new Discord bot
To set up a new Discord bot, you will first need a Discord account and create a new application on the Discord Developer Portal.
Once you have created the application, in the General Information section, keep note of the APPLICATION ID as of YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_ID.
Now you can then create a new bot associated with that application. Once you have created the bot, you will be given a token that you will use to authenticate the bot with the Discord API. Keep note of that token as of YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN.
Under the Authorization Flow section, you can decide if your bot is public or private. Under the Privileged Gateway Intents section you must check at least the MESSAGE CONTENT INTENT.
