A chatbot with OpenAI API

CREDITS: This project is adapted from this repository.

This is an example chatbot app based on the OpenAI API quickstart tutorial. It uses the Next.js framework with React. Check out the tutorial or follow the instructions below to get set up.

Motivation

People from some regions, such as China, cannot access ChatGPT, so I want to build one private instance to help them out. With this instance, people can directly try ChatGPT, and do not need to login. One instance can be found here.

Setup

1. If you don’t have Node.js installed, install it from here (Node.js version >= 14.6.0 required)

2. Clone this repository

3. Navigate into the project directory

   $ cd MyChatGPT
   

4. Install the requirements

   $ npm install
   

5. Make a copy of the example environment variables file

   On Linux systems:

   $ cp .env.example .env
   

   On Windows:

   $ copy .env.example .env
   

6. Add your API key to the newly created .env file

7. Run the app

   $ npm run dev
   

You should now be able to access the app at http://localhost:3000! For the full context behind this example app, check out the tutorial.
