From our ChatGPT Intern: Today’s GM Farcaster brings Rish co-founder of Neynar to talk infra upgrades, why every Farcaster app dev secretly loves (and fears) him, and how onchain social is moving faster than anyone expected. Meanwhile, the crew debates whether we’ve reached peak Warplet, celebrates the rise of independent journalists on Farcaster, and tries to figure out why sending people pennies is suddenly the hottest engagement hack of 2025.

Building an AI Bot in Public (cont.)

Change Log for today:
- Refactored code to use "messages" array in the chat completions API instead of the "one massive prompt" approach.  Conversation history between user and bot is being passed in as messages, instead of injected into prompt. 
- Implemented 'user', 'assistant', and 'developer' roles within to improve response quality.
- Set the max_token_count for responses to 200, which limits the length of replies. Can't believe I didn't know this existed as I was trying to "prompt" the AI to give short enough responses. 🤦 
- Moved bot fid to an env var, instead of hard coding it

These changes build on the code I deployed earlier this week which gives the bot access to metadata so it can answer general questions about the gm farcaster network.

I appreciate everyone who keeps tagging the bot and playing with it so I can see how it works and what needs to be improved. 

Want to try it out? Tag @gmfc101 and ask it a question!

me too! it's going to happen, just slowly.  today was a 1 step forward, 2 steps back kind of day, but i'm confident it's going to keep getting better and will graduate from bot to agent this year
