How to make a discord bot respond to the user if they say a keyword in their message

Question

So I want to make a command where when I say a keyword that has been programmed, the bot can respond to that one word in the sentence like

if message.content.upper().includes(‘keyword’)

Reminder that you have to be on python3.5.

After installing discord: pip3 install --user discord.py, and getting the token for your bot:

from discord import Client

bot = Client()

# change keyword here
keyword = "RESPOND"

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
      message_text = message.content.strip().upper()
      if keyword in message_text:
            # do something here, change to whatever you want
            await bot.send_message(message.channel, "'{}' was said".format(keyword))

bot.run("TOKEN")

If you have a bot using commands, you can initialize it like this instead:

from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned)

Note you'll also have to include process_commands at the end of on_message.
