I want to create a customizable artificial intelligence assistant on my messaging platforms using AstrBot. Help me build an AI agent that is configured according to my needs and integrates into both my personal and professional workflows, using the platform's plug-in support, multi-modal capabilities, and agent workspace features.
Repository: https://github.com/AstrBotDevs/AstrBot. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.
Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.
Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.
Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
