A Darkbot plugin is an external script, module, or addon that extends the core functionality of the bot. Out of the box, Darkbot excels at basic keyword-response interactions (often stored in .db files). Plugins allow the bot to perform complex logic, fetch real-time data from the web, moderate users dynamically, and integrate with external APIs.
By default, Darkbot stores user interactions and definitions in plain text files. As your channel grows, this can lead to file-locking issues and slower response times. darkbot plugins
