support for chat

Any thoughts on the level of difficulty to support chat responses? Happy to contribute if you have some general guidance on what parts are needed to add.

Hi! Please describe this feature in detail so I can plan to integrate it.

After some research it seems this is more of an implementation specific thing, although you might be able to create a class that has some of the scaffolding and let people implement callbacks. The gist of it is that there is no support for chat api generally in bluesky. You have to poll the api for conversations, see if there are new ones and then respond to those and save the most recent ID which was responded to, by person. Below is a chatbot which I found that integrates with chatgpt - basically you send a dm to the account and it replies with a prompt plus whatever you said to it. In my case I am implementing an online game and I wanted to support interaction via DM, so this is the overall design which I am using. Note that the credentials are your actual username and password, and the API is their private DM server.

This is from one of the bluesky developers:
