🐦 Polly 🐦

Inspired by subreddit simulator and Andrew Jackson's pet parrot, Polly is a Cleverbot that learns to mimic your server members! Polly uses Markov chains custom-made from the messages on your server in order to pick up on - and learn to imitate - the nuances of your server's dialect. It's so smart, you won't even realize that you're talking to a bot(*)!

(*) No guarantees. In fact, you'll probably be able to tell pretty easily.

Samples

Commands

Moderator/owner-only

To adjust settings, etc.

!polly setup [#channel1] [#channel2] [#channel3]...

Uses the message history in these selected channels to build the model it uses to generate text. Please ensure that you give it a space-separated list of channel ids. Invalid channel ids will simply be skipped.

!polly usepreset kanye/beemovie/discord

Alternatively to the setup command, you can have Polly use a pre-created model to write its messages. The 'kanye' option was trained from all of Kanye West's discography, 'beemovie' was from the entire bee movie script, and 'discord' was created from a couple articles on discord. Try 'em out, especially the Kanye one :)

!polly setmode silent/normal/chatty

When Polly is set to 'silent', it won't create messages unless specifically invoked. 'normal' and 'chatty' Polly will occasionally randomly respond to other messages in the server, but 'chatty' obviously to a much higher degree.

Commands for everybody!

Any user can invoke these.

!polly say

Has Polly send a message.

!polly meme

Polly will search through the interwebs and hand-pick a meme that corresponds to its training data (and add a caption!). Weird GIFs are often the result:

Installation

Add the existing bot to your server

Simply click here - note that you gotta be a mod on the server you want to add it to. I also can't make any guarantees about uptime, but by some back-of-the-napkin calculations I estimate my hosting setup can handle at least a couple hundred concurrent sessions.
