Karl: a bot for a lively chat

Most bots do one thing: download a video, track a rate, remind you of chores. Karl is different. He calls himself an entertainment bot that "glitches constantly but is fun and easygoing". Inside are dozens of commands, from a die and weather to a whole text RPG. 🎲

It is more of a chat companion than a tool. His humor is rough and teasing, so he is not for children or for anyone who dislikes that style.

Small useful things without extra apps

Some commands handle everyday tasks. They help when you do not want to leave the chat.

• /weather. Shows the weather.
• /calories. Counts calories in food.
• /screenshot. Makes a screenshot of a text message when you reply to it with the command.
• /day. Lists today's events.
• /advice. Gives a "valuable tip", as a joke.

Video and GIFs in one tap

For media Karl has a set of simple transformations. Some are marked beta, so glitches are possible.

• /circle. Turns a video into a round video message.
• /flip, /rotate. Mirror and turn a video or GIF.
• /reverse. Plays a clip backwards.
• /describe. Describes what is in a picture.

An RPG inside the chat

The biggest part of the command list belongs to the game with the rp prefix. It has a garden, a storage room, a curiosity shop, a laboratory with technologies, a rewards room, and even an altar with rituals.

Players gather loot, keep golems, furnish a house, and marry their characters. There is an in-game currency, and a separate command shows the gold balance. This is a game for fun, not for earning. 🏡

Karlcoins, referrals, and premium

The bot has its own made-up currency called karlcoins. /balance shows what you have, and /send_coins lets you transfer them to another member.

There is also a referral link and a paid mode, /premium. What premium includes and how much it costs, check in the bot before paying. Karlcoins are game points, not money.

Connecting Karl to a chat

1. Add the bot to a group chat or open a private dialog.
2. Send /help and read the list of skills.
3. Configure the chat with /settings.
4. Try /d20 or /advice to liven up the conversation.

The /proxy_message command sends a message to your chat in Karl's name, which is handy for pranks, but do not use it to mislead people.

Rules for a shared chat

If you add Karl to a group, warn members about his joke style. Not everyone enjoys rough humor, so agree on it beforehand.

The admin should visit /settings and adjust the bot to the chat. That prevents awkward moments. 👥

Remember also that screenshots of other people's messages should be shown only with the author's consent, especially when they are personal.

Who should skip it

If you need a predictable, serious assistant, pick another service. Karl jokes sharply, sometimes crudely, and the author openly says the bot can glitch.

Do not send him personal data, photos of documents, or passwords. Fun does not require them. 🔒
