1. Set up a new Slack app:

   • Go to the Slack API website (https://api.slack.com/apps) and create a new app.
   • Add the necessary scopes and permissions to your app. In this case, you'll need the chat:write scope to allow the bot to send messages.
   • Install the app to your workspace.

2. Set up OpenAI

• Go to View API Keys
• Create new secret key

3. Create a new Node.js project:

   • Set up a new Node.js project and initialize it with npm init -y.
   • Install the @slack/bolt library by running npm install @slack/bolt.

4. Write the code for the Slack bot: Create a file (e.g., slackBot.js) and add the following code:

const { App } = require('@slack/bolt');
const { Configuration, OpenAIApi } = require('openai');

// OpenAI API configuration
const configuration = new Configuration({apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,});

const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration);

// Slack App configuration
const app = new App({
    token: process.env.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
    signingSecret: process.env.SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET,
    socketMode: true,
    appToken: process.env.SLACK_APP_TOKEN,
    port: process.env.PORT || 3000
});

app.message('hello', async ({ message, say }) => {
  // Respond with "Hello, world!"
  await say('Hello, world!');
});
(async () => {
  // Start the app
  await app.start(process.env.PORT || 3000);
  console.log('Bot is running!');
})();

5. Set up environment variables:

   • Obtain your Slack app's signing secret and bot token from the Slack API website.
   • Set the environment variables SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET and SLACK_BOT_TOKEN with the corresponding values.

6. Run the bot: Start the bot by running node slackBot.js.

7. Add the bot to your Slack workspace:

   • Go to the Slack API website and navigate to your app's settings.
   • Under "OAuth & Permissions", click on "Install to Workspace" to add the bot to your workspace.
