I’d really like to play with ChatGPT, but there’s no way I’m giving them my phone number.

@mckinley@twtxt.net What about we create a 2-way Twtxt bot? 😆

@prologic@twtxt.net about bots, I’ve never really seen something that I can describe as a bot by now, what would be an example of bot to you?

In my mind it’s something that act like reddit bots or something you mention and reply somehow.

For anything else it’s just a feed to me. 🤔

@justamoment@twtxt.net that’s precisely what I’m thinking 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net then have you seen a bot here on Yarn.social?

How would someone use something like that in a meaningful way here?

@justamoment@twtxt.net No I haven’t seen such a bot yet… But I have come up with ways one can be developed. It would mostly reuse some of the code that yarnd users, but you’d want to build a sort-of “bot framework” if you will 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net actually, Telegram approach for bots is pretty good, you can handle them in two ways:

• Fetch new posts and handle them in batch with scheduled loops or with long pooling
  
• Register a webhook and handle a POST endpoint and do what you want in it, this for everything posts separately
  

For Yarn the rest can be done with the existing API on a special bot user.

Haha 🤣
