+
+"""
+An example bot demonstrating how to use the typing indicator with the Disagreement library.
+
+This bot will:
+1. Respond to a command `!typing_test`.
+2. Send a typing indicator to the channel where the command was invoked.
+3. Simulate a long-running task while the typing indicator is active.
+
+To run this bot:
+1. Follow the setup steps in 'basic_bot.py' to set your DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN.
+2. Ensure you have the necessary intents (GUILDS, GUILD_MESSAGES, MESSAGE_CONTENT).
+3. Run this script: python examples/typing_indicator.py
