Bringing the Internet, and Chat AI one step closer

What is SearchGPT?

SearchGPT is a library for using OpenAI's GPT-3 Language Model & Google Search to power a Question-Answering Chatbot similar to that of Bing's assistant that can do external research as needed to help answer questions

How does the API Work?

ChatBot

The main API is a ChatBot class of which you can create an instance, and ask questions An example of creating a bot named "Steve" who thought he was voice activated would be the following:

bot = ChatBot("Steven", type="Voice activated search assist chatbot", commands=[SearchCommand()])
bot.ask("What's the weather like right now?")

Commands

Commands help the bot perform actions. two example command are the SearchCommand used for searching google, or the FollowUP command inside the cli.py UI used for asking secondary questions when needed

An example for a fictional home assistant controller would be:

class LightsCommand(Command):
    def getName(cls):
        return "Lights"

    def getDescription(cls):
        return """
           If the user has asked to turn out the lights in a specific room (which must be decided on beforehand, possibly with a followup), use the "[Lights] Off RoomName" Command
           It will always be followed by a "[Lights Response]" command either containing "Success", or an encountered error while disabling lights
           """

    def execute(self, chatbot, data, question):
        if data.split(" ")[0] == "Off":
            # Turn off lights
            return "Success"
        return "Failure, invalid command"
