Flask Chatbot with OpenAI API

This is a simple Flask application that provides a chatbot interface using the OpenAI API. The chatbot allows users to enter messages and receive responses generated by the OpenAI language model.

Requirements

To run this application, you'll need:

Python 3.7 or higher
Flask
python-dotenv
OpenAI API key

Installation

Clone the repository to your local machine.

Create a virtual environment and activate it:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install the required Python packages:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Create a .env file in the root directory of the project and add your OpenAI API key as follows:
```
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```
Start the Flask server:
```
flask run
```

Usage

Once the server is running, you can access the chatbot by visiting http://localhost:5000 in your web browser. The chat interface allows you to enter messages and receive responses generated by the OpenAI language model.

Parameters

The OpenAI API provides several parameters that can be adjusted to control the behavior of the language model. These parameters can be adjusted in the app.py file:

max_tokens: Controls the maximum number of tokens (words) that the language model will generate in response to a prompt.
temperature: Controls the "creativity" of the language model, with higher values leading to more creative but less coherent responses.
n: Controls the number of responses that the language model will generate for a given prompt.

You can experiment with different parameter values to see how they affect the behavior of the chatbot.
