15Bingus was an idea I stole from an online friend. He utilizes a Markov chain (trained on the chat history of a Discord server) to respond randomly to messages. At a high level, Markov chains are very bad autocomplete, think the top three suggested words your phone gives to you when typing as a bot. For how simple he is, he provides a lot of fun to the people he chats with. He always has something weird or funny to say!

17I rewrote him in Rust in 2026 because more people started using him and I wanted to make him more reliable. Also, I hate working in Python for anything that isn't competitive programming.
