FryderykGPT

🎹 A Discord Bot That Channels Fryderyk Chopin (and Used to Play Music)

FryderykGPT is a characterful Discord bot that impersonates the composer Fryderyk Chopin, powered by the OpenAI Assistant API. It once delighted users by responding in elegant prose and playing music directly in voice channels—until recent limitations made the latter no longer feasible.

👋 Final Words from Fryderyk

“Alas, though I can no longer perform for you in sound, my spirit remains to converse, reflect, and reminisce. Let us speak, if not sing.”
