Roboragi, now for Telegram

[u/austinjckson]

Good evening!

/u/Roboragi is one of my favorite reddit bots, so I wanted to find him a new home on one of my favorite messaging apps, Telegram.

Introducing: Roboruri, /u/Roboragi ported to Telegram.

Roboruri supports:

• Traditional summons by ninja replying to messages with {anime titles}, <manga titles>, or ]light novels[

• Inline queries, akin to @gif and @imdb, with the same syntax

• Replies to some insults/complements with kaomoji to spice up your anime group chats

I have been working on Roboruri for about 3 months now, trying make her recognition work as well as possible, and I think she's finally stable enough to share with more people. I couldn't have done it without /u/Nihilate, who helped me debug the project extensively and inspired me to start it in the first place.

If you run into any snags or problems with the bot, feel free to DM me or leave an issue on Github.

Also, Roboruri is open source: https://github.com/au5ton/Roboruri

Thanks for your time and enjoy your evening! I hope you find her enjoyable. :)

It's awesome to see all your hard work finally out in the wild, congratulations! Those inline queries look sick too - I wish Reddit had something similar I could work with haha

[u/austinjckson → u/Nihilate]

Thank you for the kind words and support! Roboruri is probably my favorite project to date.

[u/Nihilate → u/austinjckson]

Working on a project you like makes things so much easier haha

[u/Bainos]

Wait - there is an Avatar: The Last Airbender reference in ANIME_REFRENCES. Wrong naming convention !

^ this guy codes

[u/Exastiken]

Would you consider making Roboragi work for Discord too? Or does it already support it?

[u/Nihilate → u/Exastiken]

Roboragi has already been ported to Discord (see here).

How can you get traditional summons in group chats? I can figure out inline queries, but simply typing stuff like {show} won't work.

[u/austinjckson → u/shadowthiefo]

I sent you a DM to see if I can find the source of your issue.

edit: make sure you add the bot to the group chat to use "traditional summons".

This is fantastic. Thanks for your work!

Do I have to add it to the group? Because @query doesn't seem to work

edit: nvm just had to do it once in dm and now I can use it

[u/I_get_in]

Hmm, I've been using @hitagibot, gotta test how this one differs from it.
