How to set Techiee up

First, grab your Google AI Studio API Key and your Discord Bot Token, you will need these for later!

You can put channel ID(s) in which Techiee will always check for the messages and respond to them in config.py. Otherwise, pinging Techiee, DMing Techiee or using /createthread will also work.

Warning

Techiee.py's config is currently set to an experimental version of Gemini 1.5 Pro! If you don't want an experimental version, you can use the regular one or the other models instead! (Gemini 1.5 Flash recommended)

You can use a hosting service like Render (which is free and works just fine). You can also host locally on your computer. If you host with Render, you can host 24/7.

How to run locally

  • Make sure that you have git and Python installed on your computer before proceeding!
  1. Clone this repo, by opening a Terminal/Command Prompt and doing: 
    git clone https://github.com/MerBudd/Techiee.py.git
cd Techiee.py
  2. Rename ".env.example" to .env
  3. Open .env and put your Google AI Studio API Key, along with your bot's token in there, then save
  4. To install dependencies, do: 
    pip install -U -r requirements.txt
  5. To run the bot, do: 
    python Techiee.py
