# Pixi AI Chatbot

[![CodeFactor](https://www.codefactor.io/repository/github/amiralimollaei/pixi-bot/badge)](https://www.codefactor.io/repository/github/amiralimollaei/pixi-bot)

A small, hackable and powerful AI chatbot implementation with tool calling and image support that blends in perfectly with the users.

## Features

- **Multi-Platform Support:** Works with Discord and Telegram out of the box.
- **Multi-Instance Support:** Run multiple instances with completely different configurations in parallel.
- **Tool Calling:** Supports calling external tools and APIs from chat.
- **Advanced Logging:** Colored logging, Supports logging tool calls and extra information for debugging.
- **Image Support:** Can recieve, compress and cache all image formats.
- **Audio Support:** Can recieve, compress and cache all audio formats.
- **Configurable:** Easily modify the bot's persona and behavior.
- **Addon Support:** Easily add new commands, tools, or other integrations (WIP, API is unstable and documentation is pending).
- **Dotenv Support:** Securely manage API keys and tokens with environment variables.

## Requirements

- Python>=3.10
- argparse
- dotenv
- openai
- zstandard
- discord-py (optional, for discord platform)
- python-telegram-bot  (optional, for telegram platform)
- av (optional, for media caching)
- uv (recommended, for setting up all the requirements easily in a python virtual environemnt)

## Getting Started

There are many extra optional dependecy groups that you may need to install based on your own needs, for simplicity, this guide shows you how to install all modules at once.

| extra dependecy group | packages | description | status |
|---|---|---|:---:|
| media | av | installs PyAV and enables media caching and processing features | optional |
| discord | discord-py | installs discord.py and enables discord bot functionality | optional\* |
| telegram | python-telegram-bot | installs python-telegram-bot and enables telegram bot functionality | optional\* |

> \[\*\] you have to install at least one of these dependecy groups for the bot to function

You should also have your own OpenAI compatible API URL and API Key and provide that to pixi, using the command line interface and/or environment variables
and you should also choose a large langauge model to use for the bot and optionally a seperate one for agentic tools, e.g. online/offline search tools, based on my testing, it works best with `google/gemini-2.0-flash-001`, works best with agentic models.
optionally you may also choose an embedding model to process web search or offline search content, works best with `BAAI/bge-m3-multi` but you can use any other model.

### Installation using UV (Recommended)

```sh
git clone https://github.com/amiralimollaei/pixi-bot.git
cd pixi-bot
uv sync --all-extras
# enter the venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# run using pixi-cli -p [platform] [options]
```

### CLI Usage with UVX (Recommended)

You can combine the process of installing and/or updating requirements and pixi, and running it into a single command:

```sh
# for telegram
# installs pixi-bot from pypi, updates it, and runs pixi-cli
uvx --env-file .env pixi-bot[telegram,media]@latest -p telegram [options]
```

```sh
# for discord
# installs pixi-bot from pypi, updates it, and runs pixi-cli
uvx --env-file .env pixi-bot[discord,media]@latest -p discord [options]
```

### Installation using PIP

```sh
pip install pixi-bot[media,discord,telegram]
pixi-cli -p [platform] [options]
```

### Setup Environment Variables

- Create a `.env` file and set `OPENAI_API_KEY` to your API provider's API Key
- Set `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` and/or `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` environment variables
- Set `DEEPINFRA_API_KEY` environment variable and `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`
- Optionally set `TENOR_API_KEY` for GIF search features powered by Tenor

### Runninig The Bot

- Discord: `pixi-cli -p discord [options]`
- Telegram: `pixi-cli -p telegram [options]`
