[Feature Request] Invoke ChatGPT in a thread

[dit7ya]

Thanks for the project.

Would it be possible to invoke chatgpt in a thread which does not start with mentioning it? This is especially relevant for summarizing long threads.

Hi @dit7ya, thanks for the suggestion. Indeed, it's a common use case. To avoid confusion for end-users, perhaps, the app can behave differently in the case. In summary,

• When you start a new thread by mentioning this app's bot user, you don't need to mention the bot for the discussion in the thread
• (New) When you mention this app's bot user to ask some task using the replies in an existing thread, the app responds only when the bot is mentioned

Also, https://github.com/seratch/ChatGPT-in-Slack/issues/23 can be a different pattern. When you talk to this app's bot user in the DM with the bot, you always don't need to mention the bot user.

I don't have time to work on this personal project on weekdays. If someone's interested in implementing the above, I'd love to have contributions!
