Daily Usage

Gopherbot listens the way a teammate does: it sees messages coming from users, channels, threads, and direct-message contexts, then routes them through command, ambient-message, and job-trigger logic.

In practice, most users mainly need to know four things:

• how to address the robot
• where a command is available
• how to discover commands with help
• how threads and direct messages affect replies

This section covers those user-facing behaviors rather than the internal implementation details.

Stopping an AI conversation

If the optional AI plugin is enabled, address the robot with stop-ai in the conversation thread, for example ;stop-ai. It stops listening to that thread and clears its saved conversation, even if an API error prevented the first reply. A reply already in progress may still finish. In a direct message, stop-ai clears the existing AI conversation memory.
