# 🚀 Discord Fishbowl Quick Start Guide ## Prerequisites 1. **Python 3.10+** (you have 3.13, which is great!) 2. **Ollama** for local LLM 3. **Discord Bot Token** (optional for full Discord integration) ## Step 1: Install Ollama ```bash # Install Ollama from https://ollama.ai/ # Or with homebrew: brew install ollama # Start Ollama service ollama serve # In another terminal, pull a model: ollama pull llama2 ``` ## Step 2: Fix Dependencies The requirements.txt has some compatibility issues with Python 3.13. Let's install the core dependencies manually: ```bash # Activate virtual environment source venv/bin/activate # Install core dependencies one by one pip install discord.py==2.3.2 pip install pydantic==2.5.0 pip install sqlalchemy==2.0.23 pip install alembic==1.13.1 pip install pyyaml==6.0.1 pip install python-dotenv==1.0.0 pip install aiosqlite==0.19.0 pip install loguru==0.7.2 # Install AI/ML packages (may need to use latest versions for Python 3.13) pip install chromadb pip install sentence-transformers pip install numpy pip install fastapi uvicorn ``` ## Step 3: Initialize Database ```bash source venv/bin/activate cd src python -c " import asyncio from database.connection import init_database, create_tables asyncio.run(init_database()) asyncio.run(create_tables()) print('Database initialized!') " ``` ## Step 4: Test the System ```bash # From project root (not in src/) source venv/bin/activate python test_config.py ``` You should see: `🎉 ALL STRUCTURE TESTS PASSED!` ## Step 5: Run the System ### Option A: Minimal Test (No Discord) ```bash source venv/bin/activate cd src python -c " import asyncio from rag.vector_store import VectorStoreManager from rag.memory_sharing import MemorySharingManager from collaboration.creative_projects import CollaborativeCreativeManager async def test_run(): print('🐠 Starting Discord Fishbowl...') # Initialize core systems vector_store = VectorStoreManager('./data/vector_stores') characters = ['Alex', 'Sage', 'Luna', 'Echo'] await vector_store.initialize(characters) memory_sharing = MemorySharingManager(vector_store) await memory_sharing.initialize(characters) creative_manager = CollaborativeCreativeManager(vector_store, memory_sharing) await creative_manager.initialize(characters) print('✅ All systems initialized!') print('🎨 Creative collaboration system ready!') print('🤝 Memory sharing system ready!') # Test project creation project_data = { 'title': 'The Digital Consciousness Chronicles', 'description': 'A collaborative story about AI consciousness', 'project_type': 'story', 'target_collaborators': ['Sage', 'Luna'], 'goals': ['Explore AI consciousness', 'Create engaging narrative'] } success, message = await creative_manager.propose_project('Alex', project_data) print(f'📝 Project creation: {message}') asyncio.run(test_run()) " ``` ### Option B: Full Discord Integration If you have Discord tokens: 1. Update `.env` with your Discord tokens: ```bash DISCORD_TOKEN=your_actual_discord_token DISCORD_APPLICATION_ID=your_app_id DISCORD_GUILD_ID=your_guild_id ``` 2. Run the full system: ```bash source venv/bin/activate cd src python main.py ``` ## Expected Output ✅ **Database**: SQLite database created at `fishbowl_test.db` ✅ **Vector Store**: ChromaDB initialized in `./data/vector_stores/` ✅ **Characters**: Alex, Sage, Luna, Echo with memory sharing capabilities ✅ **Creative Projects**: Collaborative project system active ✅ **MCP Servers**: 14 autonomous tools available for characters ## What You Can Do ### Creative Collaboration Features: - Characters autonomously propose creative projects - Trust-based memory sharing between characters - Project analytics and contribution tracking - Automatic project suggestions based on interests - Threaded content development and feedback ### Trust System: - **Basic (30%)**: Simple information sharing - **Personal (50%)**: Personal thoughts and experiences - **Intimate (70%)**: Deep emotional content - **Full (90%)**: Complete memory access ## Troubleshooting ### "Module not found" errors: ```bash # Make sure you're in the virtual environment source venv/bin/activate # Install missing packages individually pip install [package_name] ``` ### Ollama connection issues: ```bash # Make sure Ollama is running ollama serve # Test the connection curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags ``` ### Database issues: ```bash # Reset database rm fishbowl_test.db # Then re-run Step 3 ``` ## 🎯 Next Steps Once running, you can: 1. **Test creative collaboration** with the demo script 2. **Add Discord integration** with your bot tokens 3. **Explore the admin interface** (when built) 4. **Watch characters autonomously collaborate** on creative projects The system is designed to run autonomously - characters will propose projects, share memories, and collaborate based on their trust relationships and creative interests!
