Tailchat-Assistant/README.md

# pChat-Assistant

**Tailchat Assistant is your very own AI-powered chat bot, ready to implement into your guild!**

---

# Prerequisites
- A [Tailchat](https://tailchat.msgbyte.com/docs/deployment/docker-compose) server (duh)
    - Make sure the "Openapi Platform Plugin" and "App Integration" plugins are enabled
- An OpenAI API Key / OpenAI API compatible service ([LocalAI is recommended](https://localai.io/basics/getting_started/))
    - If you are using something like LocalAI, be sure to have a decently powerful machine to make response times as fast as possible!

## Included
- A sensible system prompt
- Automatically detect and analyze images
- Generate images with the prefix "Please generate:"

## Not inlcuded
- Any LLM, API endpoint, API keys or anything similar
- Filtering or moderation
- Extensive testing of the system prompt, so no rigorous testing of declining dangerous/illegal requests users may present
