Chat Portal

This code automates a social media profile and makes it functions as a message exchange portal. It monitors incoming messages, pairs users based on their message content, and then relays each new message between paired users. The current implementation uses Instagram as a social platform and chatGPT to modify relayed messages in a way that makes it seem like they are comming from the automated profile.

Python >= 3.10 is required.

Code architecture

The code is modular, cosisting of parts described by interfaces inside src/interface.py. The main code module is the Portal class with the IPortal interface, which is initialized by a IDatabase interfaced class and an ISocialPlatform interfaced class.

• The IDatabase interface is implemented by the Database class, which is a wrapper around an SqlAlchemy orm.
• The ISocialPlatform interface is implemented by the Instagram class, which is a wrapper around the instagrapi library. You can implement more social media platforms inside the src/platforms folder.
• The IPortal interface is implemented by the Portal abstract class, which is inherited by the GptPortal class. You can implement more portals inside the src/portals folder.
