Files sent as m.file Matrix messages are now downloaded, MIME-detected, and forwarded to LLM providers alongside the conversation context, similar to how m.image is already handled. - OpenAI provider: sends files inline as base64 data URLs - Anthropic provider: skips files with a warning (library limitation) - OpenAI-compat provider: skips files with a warning (library limitation) Controller routing respects the existing prefix requirement setting. MIME detection expanded to cover PDF, text, code, and document formats. Docs updated to reflect file support and known limitations.

baibot
🤖 baibot is an AI (Large Language Model) bot for Matrix built by etke.cc (managed Matrix servers).
The name is pronounced 'bye'-bot and is a play on AI, referencing the fictional character 🇧🇬 Bai Ganyo.
It's designed as a more private and featureful alternative to matrix-chatgpt-bot. It's influenced by chaz, but does not use the AIChat CLI tool and instead does everything in-process, without forking.
🌟 Features
-
🎨 Encourages provider choice (Anthropic, Groq, LocalAI, OpenAI and ☁️ many more) as well as mixing & matching models:
-
Supports different use purposes (depending on the ☁️ provider & model):
- 💬 text-generation: communicating with you via text (though certain models may "see" images as well). The OpenAI provider also supports 🛠️ built-in tools (web search, code interpreter)
- 🦻 speech-to-text: turning your voice messages into text
- 🗣️ text-to-speech: turning bot or users text messages into voice messages
- 🖌️ image-generation: creating and editing images based on instructions
-
🪄 Supports seamless voice interaction (turning user voice messages into text, answering in text, then turning that text back into voice)
-
🦻 Supports transcribe-only mode (turning user voice messages into text, without doing text-generation)
-
🗣️ Supports text-to-speech-only mode (turning user text messages into voice, without doing text-generation)
-
🔒 Supports encryption for Matrix communication and Account-Data-stored configuration
-
♻️ Supports context-management handling on some models (automatically adjusting the message history length, etc.)
-
🛠️ Allows customizing much of the bot's configuration at runtime (using commands sent via chat)
