Bot setup

Each bot has its own identity and instructions. Start with a narrow responsibility so members understand when to ask for help.

General settings

Set the display name and describe the bot's job in the system prompt. Keep prompts specific to the group and avoid placing provider credentials in the prompt.

Triggers

Use chat triggers to force a reply when a message contains one of the words or phrases. Trigger matches always get a reply, regardless of response frequency.

Response frequency

Response frequency is a random chance (0 to 1) to reply when no trigger matched:

• 1 — reply to every message
• 0.2 — reply to roughly 20% of messages
• 0 — reply only when a trigger matches

For trigger-only behavior, set triggers and frequency 0. For ambient chatter without triggers, lower the frequency below 1.

Review changes

Save changes before testing in a connected chat. Use the activity and conversation views to confirm that the bot behaves as intended.
