GUIDE: Customizable characters for AI replies on autopilot

Step 1:
Go to https://github.com/elizaOS/eliza
Step 2:
Install the prerequisites

Step 3:
Open your terminal and type: elizaos create agent-name
Select PGlite for your local database
Select your model of choice
Create your project

Step 4:
Change directory with the command cd + your agent, for example: cd bhw-agent
Run your agent with: elizaos start

Step 5:
Now your agent is ready to customise. Go to http://localhost:3000/ to view it.
Now view the default agent to understand how it works



Step 6:
To have our agent connect to twitter/x we must connect the twitter plugin and add our details to the secrets page



Once done, run your agent and it should begin posting on your behalf, it's highly customisable with MANY plugins for you to learn about, eliza agents can even execute trades on chain with the right plugins and APIs.

That's all I have in me, but hopefully you can figure out the rest, use chatgpt to ask questions and utilise the following helpful URLs:

BONUS TIP: If you install the older versions you can bypass twitter API completely, but your risk of ban goes up if you don't configure the agents to sound human and limit how often it posts.

Great guide. Adding proper testing phases early can save tons of headaches down the road.

Surprised how fast setup was excited to see how customizable the agents are.

Clear steps make it accessible for beginners while offering flexibility for advanced users.

Thanks for sharing OP,

Must admit, not done anything like this before.

So can I connect my main account to do this? Example, reply tweeting a fact about what is discussed in the original tweet?

Yes. You just tell it what to do in plain English. These characters can even be put into virtual worlds and collaborate.

I should note, thanks to Elon's update to the API now you have two options:
[PAID] - pay for basic twitter api to allow for posting
[FREE] - install and use the older version of the twitter plugin that goes with eliza (version 1.0.7)

Do you know of any Twitter handle examples who are doing this, you could show/PM me?
