Meme Bot Welcome

Welcome to MemeBot's Blogger !


Have you ever wanted to express a certain, feeling/meme but couldn't find the right words ? Or image ? Let MemeBot help! Memebot is a chat bot which can send images to express yourself in Google Hangouts. Just add your registered Meme Bot account to your google hangout chat and you're ready to start expressing yourself in memes, easy right ?

• General Overview
1. Sign in as a google user which will act as the bot.
2. Start the bot by clicking Start
3. Add Bot to your hangouts.
4. Send any message with a hashtag , for example : #lol or #happy.
5. Watch MemeBot deliver the fun.


• Registration....Bot Account Creation.
  In order to add a bot to a chat we need to first log in as a google account which will act/represent the bot. When you first start the application click on the Configure Bot Button.  Follow the prompts to log in as the account which will be your Bot, we recommend you create a google account just for this purpose.
  

           Once you are logged in you are halfway there, the application will take you back to home screen. Note: if you ever want to use a different account as the bot just click on configure and log in as a different user.

• Starting/Stopping the bot

         Once you are registered you can click on Start Bot button, once the Current Status says MemeBotRunning. To stop the bot simply click on Stop Bot button.

• Adding Bot to Hangouts 

In order to interact with the bot we need to first add it to a google hangout like you would a regular gchat user. 

• General Usage

Once this is done anything you type with a hashtag will prompt the bot to retrieve an animated image that matches. You can do #sad, #hungry, #i hate you...etc.
The bot can also do static meme images (please see below the Allow Adhoc Search setting)

Here are some examples in action :

• Additional Bot Chat Settings

1.  Bot Status : This isn't a setting you can change, but you will be able to tell if it is running correctly.
2.  Bot Name: Change your bot alias (by default it is "bot") , this will affect the /bot commands
3. Current Mood :  Chooses a mood for the bot, this will affect results , for example if he is angry reaction gifs might be more offensive (Results vary on keyword combination used)
4. Allow Bot Random Meme: The bot will scan your hangouts conversation and smartly add a reaction gif, the frequency depends on two other fields. Message or Word Count.
5. Message Count Threshold : How many messages bot will receive before he sends a random meme.
6. Word Count Threshold: How many words bot will receive before he sends a random meme.
7. Giphy Image Count: Increase this number if the bot starts repeating the same images.
8. Allow Adhoc Search: Enable this if you want the bot to post images from google results instead. In order to use this feature use dollar sign ( $ ) instead of hashtag ( # ). Here is some sample usage:                                                                                                
9. Memes Only: This applies to the google adhoc search setting, check this off in order to restrict results to mainly meme related images.
10. Use Large Images: Enable if you are on wifi or have unlimited data and want large image results.
11. Google Search Animate:Google returns gifs instead of plain images, user discretion advised.
12. Extra Bot Commands: While in a chat just type the following commands: (Note: if you change your bot name , the command will be dependent on such for example bot name = "john" then the command will start with "/john"

• /bot leave  - Bot will leave any group hangouts.
• /bot insult - Bot will randomly spit out an insult.
• /bot feel - Bot will let you know what his current mood is.

Bonus: While the bot is in the chat, if someone posts a direct image link, ie: http://someurl.com/someimage.gif , the bot will attempt to retrieve it and post the actual image in the chat.

Warning: As the bot is running form your phone, be aware that it can consume a lot of data if many pictures are being sent constantly, this of course is dependent on usage. By default the bot will send the smallest size available of any gif to save bandwidth. If bandwidth is a concern we recommend stopping bot when not on wifi. The bot uses negligible data if no one is requesting pictures.
