pip install sandbloc

# Install Twitter API wrapper (Tweepy)
pip install tweepy

# Install AI provider SDK (e.g., OpenAI)
pip install openai

Step 2: Set Up Your Twitter API Keys

1. Go to the Twitter Developer Portal and create a new app.

2. Generate the following API credentials:

   • API Key

   • API Secret Key

   • Access Token

   • Access Token Secret

3. Save these keys securely for use in your bot.

Step 3: Full Twitter AI Bot Code

This example will create a Twitter bot that listens to mentions, processes them using OpenAI’s GPT-4, and replies with an AI-generated response.

Complete Code

pythonCopy codeimport tweepy
from sandbloc import InputBlock, ProcessingBlock, OutputBlock
import time

# Twitter API Credentials
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
API_SECRET = "YOUR_API_SECRET"
ACCESS_TOKEN = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
ACCESS_SECRET = "YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET"

# Initialize Tweepy Client
auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(API_KEY, API_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)

# Sandbloc Workflow Blocks
class TwitterAgent:
    def __init__(self):
        # Input Block: Fetch mentions from Twitter
        self.input_block = InputBlock("twitter_mentions", api=api)

        # Processing Block: Use OpenAI GPT-4 to generate a reply
        self.processing_block = ProcessingBlock("openai", model="gpt-4", api_key="YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY")

        # Output Block: Send replies back to Twitter
        self.output_block = OutputBlock("twitter_reply", api=api)

    def process_mentions(self):
        print("Checking for new mentions...")
        mentions = self.input_block.fetch()

        for mention in mentions:
            print(f"Processing mention: {mention.text} from {mention.user.screen_name}")

            # Input: User's tweet content
            self.input_block.data = {"prompt": f"Reply to this tweet: {mention.text}"}

            # Process: Generate AI-based reply
            response = self.processing_block.process()
            print(f"Generated Reply: {response}")

            # Output: Reply to the user's mention
            self.output_block.send(reply=response, tweet_id=mention.id)

# Main Loop
def main():
    twitter_agent = TwitterAgent()

    while True:
        try:
            twitter_agent.process_mentions()
            print("Waiting for 60 seconds...")
            time.sleep(60)  # Check for mentions every minute
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Error: {e}")
            time.sleep(60)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

---

Step 4: How It Works

1. Input Block: Fetches mentions from Twitter.

2. Processing Block: Sends the input (tweet) to OpenAI’s GPT-4 and generates a response.

3. Output Block: Replies to the user on Twitter with the AI-generated content.

4. Main Loop: Runs the workflow continuously, checking for mentions every minute.

---

Step 5: Run the Bot

Save the script as twitter_ai_bot.py and run it:

bashCopy codepython twitter_ai_bot.py

Your bot will now monitor mentions on Twitter and respond with AI-generated replies.

Extending the Template

Here’s how you can extend the Twitter bot for additional use cases:

1. Automate Posting Content Schedule tweets or post updates dynamically using AI-generated content:

pythonCopy codecontent = ProcessingBlock("openai", model="gpt-4", api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", prompt="Generate a motivational quote.")
api.update_status(content.process())

1. Analyze Trending Topics Fetch trending hashtags and use AI to create context-aware posts:

pythonCopy codetrends = api.get_place_trends(1)  # WOEID 1 = Worldwide
print(f"Trending: {trends[0]['name']}")

1. Monitor Keywords and Auto-Respond Track specific keywords and respond with relevant messages:

pythonCopy codetweets = api.search_tweets(q="Sandbloc", count=10)
for tweet in tweets:
    reply = ProcessingBlock("openai", model="gpt-4", prompt=f"Generate a reply for this tweet: {tweet.text}")
    api.update_status(f"@{tweet.user.screen_name} {reply.process()}", in_reply_to_status_id=tweet.id)
