/openai Command

The /openai command allows you to interact with OpenAI’s powerful language models using your own API key. You can send prompts to models like GPT-3.5 Turbo, GPT-4o, and GPT-4o Mini to generate responses, analyze messages, and more.

​

Available Subcommands

​

/openai ask

Send a prompt to OpenAI and get a response.

​

Usage

/openai ask prompt: <your prompt> model: [GPT-3.5 Turbo|GPT-4o|GPT-4o Mini] max_tokens: [value]

​

Options

​

Example

/openai ask prompt: Write a short poem about programming in Python model: GPT-4o

​

/openai explain (Discord only)

Analyze a message in the conversation by using OpenAI models. You need to provide the ID of the message you want to analyze.

Note: The explain command is currently only available on Discord and not implemented in Slack, despite being mentioned in the help message.

​

Usage

/openai explain message_id: <message_id> instruction: [instruction] model: [GPT-3.5 Turbo|GPT-4o|GPT-4o Mini] max_tokens: [value]

​

Options

​

Examples

/openai explain message_id: 1234567890123456789 instruction: Please explain what this code does and suggest improvements

​

How to get a message ID

To get a message ID in Discord:

1. Enable Developer Mode in Discord Settings > Advanced
2. Right-click on any message
3. Select “Copy ID” from the menu
4. Use this ID with the explain command

​

Output Format

The response appears as a Discord embed with:

• Title: “Analysis of Message”
• Description: The AI’s analysis of the referenced message
• Fields:
  • Original Message: Truncated content of the referenced message (up to 300 characters)
  • From: Username or nickname of the message author
  • Model: The AI model used for analysis
• Footer: “Powered by OpenAI”
• Timestamp: When the analysis was generated

​

/openai setkey

Set your OpenAI API key (encrypted and private).

​

Usage

/openai setkey key: <your_openai_api_key>

​

Options

​

How It Works

The OpenAI command uses your personal OpenAI API key to send requests to OpenAI’s API. Your API key is encrypted before being stored and is only decrypted when needed to make API calls.

1. You set your OpenAI API key using the /openai setkey command
2. The key is encrypted and stored securely
3. When you use /openai ask or /openai explain, the bot:
   • Decrypts your API key
   • Sends your prompt to OpenAI
   • Returns the generated response in a formatted embed

​

Platform-Specific Implementations

​

Discord Implementation

• Commands use Discord’s slash command parameter system with named parameters (e.g., prompt:, model:)
• Supports both ask and explain commands
• The explain command requires a message ID to identify which message to analyze
• Responses are formatted as embeds with prompt and model information
• All operations happen directly in the chat where the command is invoked

​

Slack Implementation

• Commands use flags for optional parameters (e.g., --model gpt-4o, --max_tokens 1000)
• The prompt comes before any flags
• Currently only supports ask, setkey, and status commands
• The explain command mentioned in the help is not currently implemented
• Responses use Slack Block Kit for rich formatting with sections for prompt and response

​

Notes

• Your API key is encrypted and only used when you invoke the command
• Using this command will consume tokens from your OpenAI account
• Be aware of OpenAI’s rate limits and quota limitations
• Your prompts and OpenAI’s responses are visible in the channel where you use the command
