Open-Hivemind

Overview

Open-Hivemind is not just a bot framework—it is a revolutionary open-source ecosystem that fuses the chaos of multiple messaging platforms into a singular, harmonious AI‐driven symphony. Imagine a digital hivemind—a borg‐like collective of bots—where every agent is a neuron in a vast, unified brain. Built with TypeScript, it transcends traditional bot limitations by offering a modular, extensible architecture that is as easy to deploy as it is to customize. Whether operating as a single bot or a sprawling swarm, Open-Hivemind leverages cutting‐edge LLMs like OpenAI, Flowise, OpenWebUI, or the multi‐agent juggernaut Open‐Swarm to deliver intelligent, context‐aware conversational experiences in real time.

Features

Multi-Platform Mastery & Simultaneous Connectivity

• Unified Messaging Fabric: Seamlessly bridges Discord and Slack, synchronizing every message, channel, and platform into one cohesive operational consciousness.
• Real-Time Connectivity: Ensures no lag and no fuss as messages flow between platforms, creating a dynamic, integrated environment.
• Platform-Agnostic Presence: The same intelligent agents operate consistently whether on Slack’s sleek channels or Discord’s vibrant servers, eliminating the need for multiple separate bots.

Future-Proof Expansion

• Modular Integration: Easily extend functionality to new platforms such as Telegram, WhatsApp, and beyond with plug-and-play modules—no rewiring required.
• Scalable Architecture: Designed to evolve, Open-Hivemind readily incorporates future technologies and platforms, ensuring long-term viability.

Discord Integration

Solo or Swarm Modes

• Single Bot Simplicity: Run a single bot using one DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN for straightforward management.
• Multi-Agent Swarm: Embrace the power of Open‐Swarm by providing comma-separated tokens (e.g., token1, token2) and names (e.g., Agent1, Agent2). Each agent retains a unique personality while synchronizing as part of a collective, enabling flexible task distribution.

Channel Omniscience & Multi-Agent Choreography

• Event-Driven Vigilance: Listens to every messageCreate event, filtering out bot messages to focus on human interactions. The system dynamically adapts to incoming messages, preserving context across channels, threads, and guilds.
• Synchronized Multi-Agent Responses: Employs a choreography of agents where each bot’s token and username maps to distinct functions. Whether it’s greeting, information retrieval, or assistance, the orchestrated responses ensure that the hivemind operates with surgical precision.

Agent Presentation & Dynamic Response Crafting

• Unified Voice: All outbound communications are prefixed with the agent's name (e.g., AgentName:) creating a consistent, unified presentation.
• Personalized Yet Collective: Customize agent names via DISCORD_USERNAME_OVERRIDE to inject personality—imagine Jeeves with timeless formality and Mycroft with sly wit, yet both responding as one cohesive unit.
• Context-Aware Replies: Agents intelligently weave user input into their responses, echoing content (e.g., <@user> your message) to affirm context and engagement, thereby crafting replies that feel both deliberate and dynamic.

Message Handling

• Cross-Platform Listening: With persistent event monitoring on Discord and Slack, Open-Hivemind captures every significant message, filtering, parsing, and processing them with acute accuracy.
• Wakeword & Mention Detection: Configurable triggers ensure that the hivemind activates only when necessary. Wakewords such as !help or !ping prompt immediate, contextually relevant responses.
• Contextual Memory: Leverages history retrieval to accumulate up to 10 recent messages per channel, stitching together a rich tapestry of contextual dialogue that informs intelligent response generation.
• Command Parsing Efficiency: Developed with extensibility in mind, the command processing routines adapt to new instructions with ease, offering seamless integration of additional features over time.
• Single-Voice Output: Despite potentially operating multiple agents, the bot ensures that responses are concise and managed by a singular, coordinated output stream, eliminating redundant chatter.

Configuration & Agent Orchestration

Environment-Driven Control

• Convict-Powered Customization: Utilizes convict to manage .env files and JSON configurations, providing granular control over tokens, platform behavior, LLM keys, and rate limits.
• Dynamic Tuning: Adjust MESSAGE_RATE_LIMIT_PER_CHANNEL to prevent message flooding, and enable MESSAGE_ADD_USER_HINT for enhanced user engagement.
• Flexible Agent Mapping: Assign tokens and usernames dynamically, allowing both single-bot and swarm configurations to operate optimally in their designated environments.

Platform-Specific Tuning

• Slack Customization: Leverages SLACK_JOIN_CHANNELS to dictate ingress points into channels, ensuring that the hivemind infiltrates precisely where needed.
• Discord Integration: Configures DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID and related settings to pin the hivemind to specific hubs, balancing flexibility with precision.

Robust & Reliable Operation

Error Resilience & Detailed Diagnostics

• Graceful Fallbacks: Error handling is meticulously designed—errors are swallowed like a black hole but logged using the Debug library to provide comprehensive diagnostic data for post-mortem analysis.
• Real-Time Debug Logs: With DEBUG=app:*, delve into granular logs that capture every significant operation—from client login to shutdown—offering invaluable insight for troubleshooting.
• Clean Shutdown and Resource Stewardship: The shutdown procedure meticulously disconnects each agent, ensuring no lingering processes or resource leaks remain.

Testing & Deployment

Test Suite Titan

• Extensive Coverage: Powered by 33 Jest test suites, Open-Hivemind validates multi-agent synchronization, message scheduling, event mirroring, and the entire operational lifecycle.
• Proactive Diagnostics: Every integration point is tested rigorously, from message fetch limits to dynamic response crafting, ensuring reliable performance under diverse conditions.
• Continuous Integration Ready: Designed for seamless deployment in Node.js v18+, Open-Hivemind requires minimal setup and scales effortlessly, whether you deploy a single bot or a multi-agent system.

Future Enhancements

• Integrated LLM Improvements: Future updates will enrich response quality and contextual intelligence, pushing the envelope of chatbot capabilities.
• Expanded Platform Support: Roadmap plans include integration with additional messaging platforms such as Telegram and WhatsApp, ensuring a comprehensive, unified messaging ecosystem.
• Community-Driven Module Development: Open-Hivemind encourages the development of community plugins and custom modules to continuously evolve the framework.
