5. Bot Implementation

const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers
  ]
});

// Ready event
client.once(Events.ClientReady, () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}`);
});

// Handle slash commands
client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, async (interaction) => {
  if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;
  
  if (interaction.commandName === 'ask') {
    const question = interaction.options.getString('question');
    
    await interaction.deferReply();
    
    const response = await moltbot.process({
      message: question,
      userId: interaction.user.id,
      channelId: interaction.channelId
    });
    
    await interaction.editReply(response.text);
  }
});

// Handle regular messages (for AI conversations)
client.on(Events.MessageCreate, async (message) => {
  // Ignore bot messages
  if (message.author.bot) return;
  
  // Respond when mentioned or in specific channels
  if (message.mentions.has(client.user)) {
    const response = await moltbot.process({
      message: message.content,
      userId: message.author.id
    });
    
    await message.reply(response.text);
  }
});

client.login(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN);
