<I^_^|> Beep Boop
edgarbot is a chatbot that lives in your imessages!
Inspired by hubot, Edgar is a work in progress that aims to be a programmable chatbot which you and all of your friends can talk to when using imessage.
Edgar works by linking together various bits of information/functionality on your OSX machine:
- The sqlite DBs that contain all of your imessage data
- Your contacts from your icloud account
- Applescript's ability to communicate with native apps
Edgar is very much a work in progress but can run on your very own iMessage instance!
- Clone this repo
- run "python start_edgar.py" (Python2.7)
- Sent a text to someone saying "@Edgar are you here?"
- For a full list of commands, text someone "@Edgar what are you?"
Libraries used and modified:
(This one is a dependency, install through pip) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyicloud/0.9.1
https://github.com/mattrajca/pymessage-lite
TODO:
- Create Method for implementing new command and regex
- Create pickled command datastructure for persistent user commands
- Figure out where group chat handles are stored in the SQLite DB and how to implement sending them with applescript
- Implement changeable name (but he will always be Edgar in my heart)
- Catch if multiple people in same chat have edgars, have only one respond to commands.
- Replicate 'unknown chat' bug that occurs every once in a while...
