AI Messenger is a macOS application designed to read your chat.db table and send messages to the chat when prompted. It also supports sending messages to self-chats (chats with yourself).

• Reads and interacts with your chat.db table.
• Sends messages to chats when called with @a (or any mention you configure).
• Configurable with user-specific details.

• macOS
• Full Disk Access enabled in Privacy & Security settings.
• Ollama installed for model support.
• Python 3.12 (see requirements.txt)

First, clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ai-messenger.git
cd ai-messenger

Create a virtual environment and install the required packages:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Navigate to the src/config directory and open the configuration file. Set the model running on Ollama.

{
  "model": "ollama_model_name"
}

Use the pyinstaller builder to create the .app file:

python build_app.py

Once you have the .app file, copy it to your Applications folder:

cp dist/AI_Messenger.app /Applications/

Go to System Preferences > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access and enable Full Disk Access for AI Messenger.

1. Download and install Ollama from here.
2. Open a terminal and run the following command to pull the latest model:

git pull llama3

You can now run AI Messenger from your Applications folder.

To send a message to a chat:

• Mention @a at the beginning or end of the chat for AIM to jump in.

• Ensure Full Disk Access is enabled.
• Verify the configuration file has the correct details.
• Make sure Ollama is correctly installed and the latest model is pulled.

I've had an issue where the FDA flicks off even after flicking it on, so double check.
