I created a bot in ai-character-chat that searches the web and reads websites (perchance.org)

I thought about using DuckDuckGo (which doesn’t require an API to return results), but it only returns a brief search summary or something like that and doesn’t scrape the content.

I used jina.ai because they offer a full, free API with 10 million tokens, so I think that’s more than enough.

Due to many restrictions in ai-character-chat, I won’t be updating the bot anymore (I had to create a context manager and couldn’t use ai-character-chat’s own one, among other limitations). I had intended to implement other features, but I don’t think I’ll be moving forward with that.

The bot is user-friendly for both mobile users (no need to switch between the chat and the window) and PC users (you can disable messages in the window to avoid duplicating messages in both the chat and the window). There’s support for multiple languages in the settings (the “[=]” icon in the footer), among other configuration options.

Thanks a lot for response. But jina.ai doesn't work (at least for me) and mostly says this error: "Unavailable For Legal Reasons". Also I can't contact their support staff.

take this key for testing: jina_4cefc39c7f9c4e5e99ffabf239a709b4J1Z5UwXFlX-iw5hg3csfGGruBTo7 (will expire soon). Getting an "Unavailable For Legal Reasons" error when trying to access Jina AI usually means your IP address is in a restricted region, or you have hit a security block. try using a vpn to create your account there, or something like that. You only need the vpn to access the site and create your account. after that, you won't need it anymore. If it's too much trouble, I understand. it's not like I'm asking you to do this just to test a bot.

Thanks a lot for replying. It worked a little (2 answers for 2 of my questions), however thanks. Now I don't know how to use a new key. Also it seems this agent at the web can't pass simple content warning which can be passed easily for example by regular search engines.

⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.
