Experimental chatbot implemented in Python using OpenAI's Chat API. This is designed to assist users in coding AI programs.
The main file in this repository is johnbot.py. This file contains the Chatbot class, which is responsible for interacting with the OpenAI API and managing the johnbot's memory.
The Chatbot class has several key methods:
__init__(self, api_key: str): This method initializes the johnbot. It sets up the OpenAI API key and initializes an empty memory for the johnbot.
add_to_memory(self, user_input: str, response: str): This method adds a user's input and the johnbot's response to the johnbot's memory.
generate_response(self, prompt: str) -> str: This method generates a response from the johnbot based on a given prompt. It uses the OpenAI API to generate the response.
chat(self, user_input: str) -> str: This method manages the chat process. It combines the johnbot's memory with the current user input to generate a response.
To install and run this project on your machine, follow these steps:
Clone the repository to your local machine.
Install the required Python packages. You can find these in the requirements.txt file. Use the following command to install them:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Set up the OpenAI API key. This key is required to interact with the OpenAI API. You can set it up as an environment variable named OPENAI_API_KEY inside a .env file. The key is retrieved in the main section of the johnbot.py file using os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY").
[!note] client = OpenAI() defaults to os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")
Run the program. You can do this by running the python3 johnbot.py. The program will start a conversation, and you can interact with it by typing your messages into the console.
Please note that this project requires Python 3.6 or later.
To use the program, simply type your message into the console when prompted. The program will generate a response and display it. To end the conversation, type 'exit'.
