Features

• [Slash Command]
  • Use /chat command to send a message to the bot in public channels, and it will respond with a message generated by the ChatGPT API.
• [Direct Message]
  • Send private messages to the bot, and it will respond with a message generated by the ChatGPT API. This is useful for users who want to interact with the bot without broadcasting their messages to the whole server.
  • The responses generated by ChatGPT are streamed in real time so that users can see the progress of the completion. This is particularly useful for chat applications in which the user doesn't have to wait for a long time to see the result.
