Features

• E2EE that actually works - mautrix-go with goolm (pure Go). Crypto state lives in SQLite so device keys survive restarts. Cross-signing bootstraps on first run — the bot self-verifies its own device.
• No CGo, no system deps - builds to a single static binary. Cross-compile to whatever you want.
• 49 plugins with dependency injection and ordered registration
• Games & economy - Euro virtual currency, Hangman (collaborative, threaded, tiered scoring), Blackjack (1-4 players, auto-play timeout), UNO (solo vs bot or 2–4 player multiplayer via DMs, with optional No Mercy mode), Texas Hold'em (2-9 players, CFR-trained NPC bot, DM-based gameplay with Ollama coaching tips, 1-hour idle auto-close with 45-min warning), Wordle (daily cooperative, Wordnik-powered, 5-7 letter words, video game themed bonus words with category hints, dupe prevention across last 500 puzzles), Adventure (daily idle RPG via DMs — dungeon, mine, forage, shop, or rest with TwinBee NPC distributing level-scaled rewards, mid-day random events, tier shorthand buying, holiday double actions), Arena (5-tier combat gauntlet with 20 unique monsters, risk-reward cashout system, death lockout, leaderboard), all with channel restriction
• Moderation system (optional) - deterministic detection only, no LLM. Word list with leetspeak variation matching, text/image flood, repeated messages, mention flooding, link rate limiting, invite flooding, join/leave cycling. Three-strike ladder (warn → mute → ban). Admin room notifications, DMs over public callouts.
• Passive tracking - XP, stats, streaks, achievements, markov corpus, keyword alerts, all running silently
• Scheduled posts via robfig/cron - WOTD, holidays, game releases, birthdays, anime/movie releases, concert digests, esteemed members
• LLM integration (optional) - Ollama-powered sentiment analysis, roast profiles, room vibes, tarot readings, conversation summaries
• Markdown rendering - auto-detects **bold**, _italic_, and `code` in messages and sends proper HTML to Matrix clients
• Encrypted quote wall - AES-256-GCM encrypted quotes at rest, reply-to-save, search, leaderboard
• Space groups - automatic room grouping via membership overlap. Leaderboards, stats, and trivia scores span all rooms in a group. No Matrix Spaces API needed — the bot infers community boundaries from shared members.
• SQLite everything - one file, no external database needed

Running the Bot

# dev
go run -tags goolm .

# prod
go build -tags goolm -o gogobee .
./gogobee

The -tags goolm flag selects the pure-Go crypto implementation. No C compiler or libolm needed.

First Run

1. Start the bot. It logs in, creates a device, bootstraps cross-signing, and self-verifies automatically.
2. That's it. E2EE works across restarts from here on out.

DM commands during gameplay: reply with a card number to play, draw to draw, uno to call UNO (required when you have 2 cards), quit to forfeit. During draw stacking, type accept to absorb the stack.

Classic Mode

Standard 108-card UNO deck. Draw one card per turn (pass if unplayable). Wild Draw Four can be challenged — if the challenger catches a bluff, the player draws 4 instead.

GogoBee has a personality system during solo play: she reads a book while playing, and puts it down when the game gets serious (opponent has few cards). Commentary changes based on book state.

No Mercy Mode

Based on UNO Show 'Em No Mercy (2023, Mattel). Bigger 168-card deck, meaner rules.

New cards:

Card	Type	Effect
Skip Everyone	Colored	Skips all other players — you go again
Discard All	Colored	Play it and discard every other card of that color from your hand
Draw Four	Colored	Like Wild Draw Four but matches by color (not wild)
Wild Reverse Draw Four	Wild	Reverse direction + draw 4 + pick a color
Wild Draw Six	Wild	Draw 6 + pick a color
Wild Draw Ten	Wild	Draw 10 + pick a color
Wild Color Roulette	Wild	Pick a color — next player flips cards from the deck until that color appears, keeping all flipped cards

Rule changes:

• Draw stacking — when hit with a draw card, play a draw card of equal or higher value to pass the penalty to the next player. The stack keeps growing until someone can't (or won't) stack back. That player draws the entire total.
• Draw until playable — no more drawing one and passing. You keep drawing until you find a playable card.
• Mercy rule — reach 25 cards in your hand and you're eliminated.

7-0 Rule (optional, No Mercy only)

Enabled by adding 7-0 to the command. When active:

• Play a 7 — swap hands with another player of your choice (in multiplayer, you pick the target)
• Play a 0 — all players pass their hand to the next player in play direction

Texas Hold'em (games channel only)

No-limit Texas Hold'em poker for 2-9 players. Buy-in is debited from your euro balance when you sit down; your remaining stack is cashed out when you leave. Private cards and coaching tips are delivered via DM — the room only sees start/end announcements.

An optional AI opponent (NPC) uses a CFR-trained poker solver. Add one with !holdem addbot.

Command	Description
!holdem join	Sit down at the table
!holdem leave	Leave the table (cashes out stack, shows refund)
!holdem start	Start dealing (2+ players)
!holdem play	Shortcut: join + start in one command
!holdem addbot	Add a CFR-trained AI opponent
!holdem fold	Fold your hand
!holdem check	Check (no bet to call)
!holdem call	Call the current bet
!holdem raise <amount>	Raise to a total of amount
!holdem allin	Go all-in
!holdem status	Current table state (sent via DM)
!holdem help	Show in-game help

DM commands: !holdem tips on/off — toggle coaching tips (equity + pot odds analysis, powered by Ollama with rules-based fallback).

Idle timeout: Tables with no hands dealt close after 1 hour. A warning is posted at 45 minutes.

NPC Bot

The NPC opponent uses Counterfactual Regret Minimization (CFR), specifically the External Sampling variant of Monte Carlo CFR. Instead of hardcoding poker strategy, the bot learns one through millions of rounds of self-play. On each iteration, it plays both seats of a heads-up hand, tracks how much it "regrets" not having taken each alternative action, and gradually shifts its strategy toward the actions it regrets not taking. Over time, the strategy converges toward a Nash equilibrium — a point where no single change in play can improve its expected winnings against a perfect opponent. The trained policy ships as a single .gob file loaded at startup, and the bot plays a mixed strategy: it doesn't always make the same play in the same spot, but randomizes according to its trained probability distribution, which makes it harder to exploit.

The interesting engineering is in the abstraction layer. Real poker has roughly 10^17 possible game states — far too many for a tabular approach. We collapse this space down to around 23,000 information sets by bucketing hand strength into 12 equity tiers (computed via Monte Carlo rollout against random opponent hands), classifying boards as dry, wet, or paired based on flush/straight draw density and board pairing, tracking stack-to-pot ratio across 5 buckets, and encoding the last 6 actions as a compressed history string. All of this gets packed into a single uint64 key — no string formatting, no allocations on the hot path. Preflop hands use a lookup table of the 169 strategically distinct hold'em starting hands, which eliminates Monte Carlo during the most frequently visited part of the game tree. Training runs at about 5 million iterations across all CPU cores with shared regret tables, periodic checkpointing, and regret pruning after a 500K warmup to skip deeply negative branches. The result is a bot that plays a solid, unpredictable game — not world-class, but strong enough to make the table interesting.

Training the NPC

A standalone training CLI is provided under cmd/holdem-train/. It requires the training build tag:

# Build the training CLI
go build -tags training -o holdem-train ./cmd/holdem-train/

# Train with 8 workers (defaults to all CPU cores if --workers is omitted)
./holdem-train --iterations 5000000 --workers 8 --output data/policy.gob

# Resume from a checkpoint
./holdem-train --iterations 5000000 --workers 8 --resume data/policy.gob.checkpoint --output data/policy.gob

# Validate the trained policy (10K hands vs random baseline)
./holdem-train --validate --output data/policy.gob

Flag	Default	Description
--iterations	5000000	Number of training iterations
--workers	runtime.NumCPU()	Parallel workers
--output	data/policy.gob	Output policy file
--resume		Resume from checkpoint
--validate	false	Run validation instead of training
--checkpoint-every	500000	Checkpoint interval
--seed	42	Random seed

Progress is logged with overall completion percentage and ETA. Checkpoints are saved every 30 seconds during parallel training.

Wordle (games channel only)

Daily cooperative Wordle — one puzzle per day, the community works together with a shared 6-guess limit. Word selection and validation powered by the Wordnik API (WORDNIK_API_KEY). A new puzzle auto-posts at midnight UTC. Word length is configurable (5-7 letters). Falls back to a bundled word list if the API is unavailable. The puzzle pool includes video game themed words (loaded from data/wordle_games.txt) — when one is selected, a category hint is shown. Duplicate prevention ensures the same word won't appear within the last 500 puzzles.

Command	Description
!wordle <word>	Submit a guess for today's puzzle
!wordle grid	Re-post the current puzzle grid
!wordle stats	All-time leaderboard with community streak
!wordle new	Start a new puzzle (admin)
!wordle new <5|6|7>	New puzzle with specific word length (admin)
!wordle skip	Reveal answer and end puzzle (admin)
!wordle help	Show commands

No economy integration — stats and leaderboard position are the reward.

Adventure (DM-based idle RPG)

A daily DM-driven idle RPG where each player takes one action per day — dungeon, mine, forage, visit the shop, or rest. Outcomes resolve with flavor text and loot is credited to your euro balance. An evening summary posts to the games room. TwinBee is a permanent NPC adventurer who distributes rewards to active players.

Characters auto-create on first !adventure command. All gameplay happens in DMs — reply to the bot's morning prompt with your choice. DM replies are only interpreted as adventure choices for 15 minutes after a menu is sent, so other DM-based games (UNO, Hold'em) won't conflict.

Command	Description
!adventure	Open today's action menu (sent via DM)
!adventure status	Character sheet (sent via DM)
!adventure shop	Browse equipment for sale (sent via DM)
!adventure buy <item>	Buy equipment by name or tier shorthand (3 sword, t4 boots)
!adventure sell <item>	Sell an inventory item (credits euro balance)
!adventure sell all	Sell entire inventory
!adventure inventory	List current inventory
!adventure leaderboard	Top adventurers
!adventure revive @user	Revive a dead player (admin)
!adventure respond <choice>	Reply to today's action prompt (alternative to DM reply)
!adventure summary	Force daily summary post (admin)

DM replies: Reply to the morning prompt with a number (1–5) or activity name (dungeon, mine, forage, shop, rest). You can specify a location: 1 Soggy Cellar, mine 3, etc.

Activities

Three activity types across 5 tiers of locations (15 total). Higher tiers require higher character level and equipment.

• Dungeon — combat XP, chance of death, best loot potential
• Mining — mining XP, cave-in risk, ore and gem drops
• Foraging — foraging XP, wildlife hazards, herb and reagent drops

Mechanics

• Equipment — 5 slots (weapon, armor, helmet, boots, tool) with tiered upgrades from the shop. Equipment degrades on bad outcomes and breaks at 0 condition.
• Treasures — rare collectibles (up to 3) that provide passive bonuses (XP multipliers, death chance reduction, loot quality). Prompted to discard when at cap.
• Streaks — consecutive days of activity grant escalating bonuses (XP, loot quality, death chance reduction). Resting or dying resets your streak.
• Grudge — dying at a location marks it as your grudge. Returning there grants +10% success and +25% XP. Clears on success.
• Party bonus — if two players independently visit the same location on the same day, both get +10% loot value.
• Death — locked out until midnight UTC. You're automatically revived when the next day starts.
• Holidays — on recognized holidays (~20/year across religious and cultural calendars), you get a second daily action. Hebrew and Islamic calendar support for floating holidays.
• TwinBee NPC — takes a daily action (location tier capped by best player's combined level), distributes loot share to active players scaled quadratically by level, and occasionally gifts random buffs.
• Mid-day events — random events can trigger between actions, delivering bonus loot, buffs, or narrative encounters.

Arena (!arena)

A multi-tier combat gauntlet independent of the daily adventure action. Fight through 5 tiers of 4 rounds each — 20 unique named monsters with escalating lethality. Earnings accumulate across rounds but are forfeited on death. After clearing a tier, choose to descend deeper (keep earnings at risk) or cash out. Death locks you out of both arena and adventure until midnight UTC.

Command	Description
!arena	Show the arena tier menu
!arena tier <1-5>	Select a tier (shows confirmation with R1 opponent)
!arena fight	Confirm entry / fight current round
!arena cancel	Back out of tier selection
!arena descend	Descend to next tier after clearing (earnings carry over, still at risk)
!arena cashout	Take your earnings and leave
!arena stats	Your personal arena stats
!arena status	Current run state
!arena leaderboard	Top arena players
!arena help	Arena help text

Mechanics:

• Death chance — based on monster lethality, combat level, equipment tier, and battle skill. Clamped between 1% and 98%.
• Rewards — tier base payout * round number + battle skill * tier multiplier. Higher tiers and later rounds pay more.
• Auto-cashout — 10 minutes to decide after clearing a tier. GogoBee cashes out on your behalf if you're slow.
• Tier entry confirmation — !arena tier N previews the first opponent; !arena fight commits.

Passive Features

All of these run in the background without any commands:

• XP - 10 XP per message with 30s cooldown. Level-up announcements use Twinbee/Parodius themed messages.
• Stats - tracks words, chars, links, images, questions, emojis, and time-of-day patterns
• Streaks - consecutive days active, first poster of the day
• Reputation - detects "thanks", "ty", "thx", etc. with 24h cooldown per pair
• Achievements - 93 of them, checked silently on every message
• Markov chains - collects encrypted messages for !markov generation (10k cap per user, 90-day TTL)
• Keyword alerts - DMs you when someone says your watched keywords
• Presence - auto-clears away/afk when you send a message
• Room milestones - announces at 1k, 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, 100k, 250k, 500k, 1M messages
• Euro earning - earn €0.50–€10 per message based on word count (30s cooldown). Starting balance seeded from corpus history (capped at €2,500)
• URL previews - OG tag extraction (feature-flagged, off by default)
• Reactions - logs all reactions for !emojiboard
• Space groups - rooms with sufficient member overlap are automatically grouped. Leaderboards, trivia scores, and other per-room features aggregate across the group. Recomputed hourly; persisted to SQLite. Uses strict clique-based grouping (every room must meet the threshold with every other room in the group).
• LLM classification - sentiment (10 categories), profanity, insults, WOTD usage (needs Ollama)
• Message buffer - last 50 messages per room held in memory for !vibe and !tldr. Not persisted to disk; resets on restart. Uptime reported when insufficient messages are buffered.

Sentiment Classification

Every message (subject to LLM_SAMPLE_RATE) is classified by Ollama into one of 10 sentiment categories. The bot reacts with an emoji when the confidence score is strong enough (|score| > 0.5). Per-user counts are tracked in the database and viewable via !sentiment.

Sentiment	Emoji	Score range	Example
Positive	👍	> 0.5	"This is awesome, great work!"
Excited	🔥	> 0.5	"OH MY GOD I can't wait for this!!"
Supportive	🤗	> 0.5	"You've got this, don't give up"
Grateful	💜	> 0.5	"Thank you so much for helping me"
Humorous	😂	> 0.5	"lmao that's the funniest thing I've seen all day"
Curious	🧐	> 0.5	"How does that work exactly?"
Neutral	—	—	"I'll be back in 10 minutes"
Sarcastic	🤨	< -0.5	"Oh sure, that'll definitely work"
Frustrated	😮‍💨	< -0.5	"I've been trying to fix this for three hours"
Negative	👎	< -0.5	"This is broken and nobody cares"

The LLM also returns a float score (-1.0 to 1.0) for each message. These scores are averaged per user to derive an overall mood shown in !sentiment output and fed into !howami roast profiles.

Why Go?

E2EE - This project went through three SDK iterations: matrix-bot-sdk (no E2EE support), matrix-js-sdk (E2EE via fake-indexeddb with an in-memory crypto store that wiped device keys on every restart), and finally mautrix-go which stores crypto state in SQLite with cross-signing bootstrap. The bot self-verifies its own device on startup.

Deployment - Pure Go, no CGo. go build -tags goolm gives you a static binary with zero system dependencies. The TypeScript version needed Node.js, npm, a C compiler for better-sqlite3, and libolm.

Scheduler - Replaced a hand-rolled 60s tick loop with robfig/cron. Standard cron expressions, less code, fewer bugs.

Plugins - Go interfaces + struct embedding instead of abstract classes. Same pattern, less boilerplate.

Database

Single SQLite file at $DATA_DIR/gogobee.db. Schema auto-creates on first run. WAL mode enabled.

80+ tables covering users, XP, stats, streaks, reputation, reminders, trivia, achievements, encrypted quotes (AES-256-GCM), backlog, keyword watches, scheduler config, birthdays, horoscopes, LLM classifications, stocks, market snapshots, forex rates/alerts, concerts, anime, movies, countdowns, presence, encrypted markov corpus, reaction log, miniflux RSS subscriptions, and various caches.

Backup

# safe to run while the bot is up (WAL mode)
sqlite3 data/gogobee.db ".backup data/gogobee-backup.db"

---

Troubleshooting

E2EE

E2EE should just work. The bot bootstraps cross-signing and self-verifies its device on first run.

1. After restarts, the bot reuses its saved device and crypto state. No manual steps needed.
2. If things are really broken, delete data/device.json and data/gogobee.db to start fresh.

Bot not responding in encrypted rooms

• Check that the bot joined the room (it auto-joins on invite)
• Look at logs for decryption errors

API commands not working

• Check that the relevant API key is set in .env
• Look at logs for error messages
• Most APIs have rate limits; the bot caches responses to stay within them

Build errors about libolm

# use the goolm tag:
go build -tags goolm -o gogobee .
