## Nostr Bot Help
Beep, boop, I'm a Nostr Bot! I'm a modern AI and ⚡ powered bot that can help you with a wide variety of tasks over the Nostr protocol.
### Basic Usage
You can interact with me in two ways:
1. **Public Mentions**: Simply mention my public key in your Nostr post
2. **Direct Messages**: Send me an encrypted DM for private conversations
### Available Commands
#### Model Selection
You can specify which Gemini model to use by adding the `--model` flag followed by the model name (works in both public mentions and DMs):
```
@nostr-bot --model gemini-2.0-flash your question here
```
Available models:
1. **gemini-2.0-flash**
- Standard production-ready model
- Best for: Production applications, high-throughput processing
- Capabilities: Text/code generation, code execution, function calling, image/video understanding
2. **gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp**
- Experimental model with enhanced reasoning
- Best for: Complex problem solving, multi-step reasoning, detailed analysis
- Additional capabilities: Complex reasoning, step-by-step thinking
3. **gemini-2.0-flash-lite**
- Cost-optimized model
- Best for: Cost-sensitive applications, high-volume processing
- Capabilities: Text/code generation, code execution, function calling, image/video/audio understanding
4. **gemini-1.5-flash**
- Long context model with 1M token window
- Best for: Long-form content processing, document analysis
- Special feature: 1M token context window
#### Help Command
To see this help message in Nostr, use:
```
@nostr-bot --help
```
### Examples
1. Basic public question:
```
@nostr-bot What is the weather like in Paris?
```
2. Using a specific model (works in DMs too):
```
@nostr-bot --model gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp Can you help me solve this complex math problem?
```
3. Code-related questions:
```
@nostr-bot Can you help me write a Python function to sort a list?
```
4. Private conversation via DM:
```
# Basic DM
Send an encrypted DM to nostr-bot with your question
# DM with model selection
Send "Hey! --model gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp can you help me with..."
```
### Direct Messages (DMs)
The bot supports private conversations through encrypted direct messages:
- **Encryption Support**:
- NIP-04 standard encrypted DMs
- NIP-17 gift-wrapped messages for enhanced privacy
- **Thread Context**: The bot maintains conversation context within DM threads
- **Same Capabilities**: All features (including --model selection and other flags) work in DMs
- **Private Responses**: All responses are encrypted using the same method as the incoming message
### Notes
- The bot does not currently have access to the internet or search
- The bot uses Gemini AI to generate responses
- Each model will have different knowledge cutoff dates
- Code execution is available for programming-related questions
- All responses are formatted using proper markdown
- The bot maintains conversation context within threads
- Default model is gemini-2.0-flash if not specified
### Rate Limits
Each model has its own rate limits:
- **gemini-2.0-flash**: 15 requests/minute
- **gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp**: 10 requests/minute
- **gemini-2.0-flash-lite**: 30 requests/minute
- **gemini-1.5-flash**: 15 requests/minute
