For development run npm run dev (automatic reload). For production npm run start.

If you want to run this in production I'd recommend using pm2.

Config

The config file is located at config.json in the project root:

message.greetingWords - an array of greeting words that's randomly selected during message generation. message.base - the base message being used when replying. message.andWord - the and word for when there's multiple names in the greeting. browser.locale - The browser locale. Changing this might cause the locators in Playwright to stop working. browser.userAgent - The browser user agent. users - An array of users (use this when not using MongoDB). services.*.ignoreGroupChats - Whether to not reply to group chats. services.*.onlyReplyOnce - Only send reply once (requires MongoDB to store conversation state).
