Wrest Chat is a versatile AI chatbot assistant designed for seamless integration with various large language models (LLMs) and chat applications. It offers a web-based management interface and communicates with chat clients via Nanomsg, currently supporting PC WeChat and aiming for broader compatibility.

How It Works

Built with Go, Wrest Chat provides HTTP and Websocket APIs for easy integration with other applications and real-time message handling. It supports API authorization and can be used as an SDK. The system includes built-in AI bots, a web management UI for configuration, an API debugging tool, and aims to convert XML messages to objects for easier frontend parsing. It also supports extensions like scheduled tasks and command plugins.
