Step 1: Installation and Setup

Start by installing Polylith and its dependencies:

Copy

Copy

bashCopy code# Install Polylith
pip install polylith

# Install Discord API wrapper (discord.py)
pip install discord.py

# Install any AI provider SDK (e.g., OpenAI)
pip install openai

Step 2: Set Up Your Discord Bot

1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal.

2. Create a new application and navigate to the Bot tab.

3. Add a bot, copy the token, and save it securely.

4. Invite your bot to a server using the OAuth2 URL Generator (scope: bot, permissions: Send Messages).

Step 3: Complete Discord AI Agent Code

Here’s a fully modular example that listens to messages, processes them using OpenAI's GPT-4, and sends intelligent responses back to the same Discord channel.

Full Discord Agent Code

Copy

Copy

pythonCopy codeimport discord
from polylith import InputBlock, ProcessingBlock, OutputBlock
import asyncio

# Discord Bot Token
DISCORD_TOKEN = "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN"
CHANNEL_ID = 1234567890  # Replace with your Discord channel ID

# Initialize Discord Client
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.messages = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

# Polylith Workflow Blocks
class DiscordAgent:
    def __init__(self):
        self.input_block = InputBlock("discord", token=DISCORD_TOKEN, channel_id=CHANNEL_ID)
        self.processing_block = ProcessingBlock("openai", model="gpt-4", api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY")
        self.output_block = OutputBlock("discord_response", token=DISCORD_TOKEN)

    async def process_message(self, message_content):
        # Connect the Polylith blocks for input, processing, and output
        print(f"Processing message: {message_content}")

        # Input Block: Capture the message
        self.input_block.data = {"prompt": message_content}

        # Processing Block: Send the message to OpenAI's GPT-4
        response = self.processing_block.process()

        # Output Block: Send response back to Discord
        await self.output_block.send(response)

# Event: On Message
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"We have logged in as {client.user}")

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    # Initialize Polylith agent and process message
    agent = DiscordAgent()
    await agent.process_message(message.content)
    await message.channel.send("Thinking... 🤖")

# Run the Discord Bot
client.run(DISCORD_TOKEN)

---

Step 4: Explanation of Code

1. InputBlock: Captures messages from the Discord channel.

2. ProcessingBlock: Uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 to process the message and generate a response.

3. OutputBlock: Sends the AI-generated response back to the Discord channel.

4. Discord Events: Listens to incoming messages (on_message) and triggers Polylith workflows.

---

Step 5: Run the Bot

Save the script as discord_ai_agent.py and run it:

Copy

Copy

bashCopy codepython discord_ai_agent.py

You should see a message like: We have logged in as YOUR_BOT_NAME

Now type something in your Discord channel, and the bot will respond intelligently using GPT-4 or the selected AI provider.

Extending the Template

Here are a few ideas for extending this template:

1. Moderation Tool Filter out harmful messages and send alerts to moderators.

Copy

Copy

pythonCopy code# Replace ProcessingBlock with moderation logic
self.processing_block = ProcessingBlock("openai", model="gpt-4", prompt="Filter harmful content: {message}")

1. Contextual Chatbot Store chat history in a vector store like Pinecone for better context-aware replies.

Copy

Copy

pythonCopy codefrom polylith import ProcessingBlock

vector_block = ProcessingBlock("pinecone", api_key="YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY", index_name="chat_history")
self.processing_block >> vector_block

1. Scheduled Announcements Automate reminders and updates in Discord at scheduled times.

Copy

Copy

pythonCopy codeawait self.output_block.send("Daily update: Don't forget to check Polylith's new templates!", schedule="daily 9:00 AM")
