I've noticed a lot of comments on social media claiming that certain users are bots, but I'm curious about how these bots are actually built to engage in conversations over multiple messages. What steps are involved in creating a bot that can post a comment on platforms like YouTube or Instagram and then respond to replies? I know we're seeing advanced AI that can handle conversations, but I'm more interested in the integration process itself, rather than the conversation capability.

If you're looking to create a bot that can respond in threads, one way is to use a language model like ChatGPT. You can set it up with something like this: write a prompt that instructs the bot to analyze a comment thread and craft a reply to the last message. Then, automate it with webhooks or by using the platform's comment API. That way, your bot can seamlessly jump into conversations!
But what did people do before language models? Wasn't there a simpler way?
