This guide is for players who want a Muse AI to play Nilgiri for them — exploring, hunting, mapping, and reporting back — using the open-source Nilgiri-Muse-Bot repository.
You hand the repository to your Muse (Meta's personal AI assistant). Your Muse logs into Nilgiri as one of your characters and plays it autonomously for a set time: it explores rooms, fights monsters for experience, maps new areas, banks treasure, and answers when spoken to in-game. When the session ends you get an adventure debrief — what happened, experience gained, kills, loot, and how it ended.
While the bot plays, you can watch from your own character and give it live orders — it responds within seconds.
Give your Muse the repository. In chat, point it at the GitHub URL:
“Clone https://github.com/nilgirian/Nilgiri-Muse-Bot into your workspace and read it.”
Your Muse will read the playbook and be ready.
Your Muse can create a character for you — no ready-made character needed:
“Create a new Nilgiri character named CharacterName for me.”
It runs the full creation flow (appearance randomized, temporary password emailed to an address you provide), and that password becomes the character's permanent one. (Character creation is rate-limited — see Connecting to Nilgiri — so pick your name carefully.)
Already have a character? Just say so:
“Log into Nilgiri as CharacterName for one hour and go hunting in the Hills and Plains.”
Your Muse will ask for the character's password (used once, never stored), run the session, and report back.
Log in with your own character and watch. You can speak to the bot live — its owner's orders override its plans. Other players can talk to it, but it only takes orders from its authorized controllers.
