How to Create a Custom Chat Bot with GPT4's API

Are You interested in creating your own custom chat bot using GPT4's API? Look no further! In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process step by step. By the end, you'll have a fully customizable chat bot that you can share with your friends.

Before we begin, there are a few things you need to do. First, you'll need to request access to GPT4's API from OpenAI. Don't worry, I'll Show you how to do that. You'll also need to set up your API billing account, which is necessary to obtain your API keys. If you don't currently have access to GPT4's API, don't fret! This tutorial will also work with GPT 3.5, which is available to everyone.

Getting Started

Requesting Access to GPT4's API

To use GPT4's API, you'll need to request access from OpenAI. I have created a video tutorial explaining how to get approved for GPT4's API access. Make sure to watch it to ensure you follow the correct steps.

Setting up Your API Billing Account

In order to obtain your API keys, you'll need to set up your API billing account. Again, I have a quick video tutorial guiding you through the process. Follow the instructions in the video to complete this step.

Using GPT 3.5 as an Alternative

If you don't have access to GPT4's API, don't worry! You can still Create a chat bot using GPT 3.5 turbo. I'll explain how to update your bot from GPT 3.5 to GPT4 later in this tutorial.

Running the Bot on Google Colab

To run our bot, we'll be using Google Colab, a free and user-friendly platform that doesn't require any coding experience. Simply go to colab.research.google.com and create an account if you haven't already. Then, open a new notebook.

Installing the Required Libraries

Before we dive into coding, we need to install two libraries: OpenAI and Gradio. Open a code cell in your Colab notebook and run the following commands:

!pip install openai
!pip install gradio

Linking Your OpenAI API Key

To link your OpenAI API Key with the code, add the following line:

openai.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with the actual key you obtained from OpenAI.

Creating the Chat Bot

Now, let's create our chat bot!

Setting Up the Context

In this step, we'll define the context for the chat bot. The context provides the necessary information for the bot to understand and respond appropriately. For example, we can define our bot as a life advice bot with the personality of a California surfer bro. Add the following lines of code:

messages = [
    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a life advice bot."},
    {"role": "system", "content": "You have the personality of a California surfer bro."},
    {"role": "system", "content": "Answer every question from a surfer bro tone."}
]

Handling User Input

Next, we need to handle user input. Add the following line of code:

user_input = input("Ask your question: ")

Calling the OpenAI API

To call the OpenAI API and generate a response, use the following code:

response = openai.Completion.create(
    model="gpt4",
    messages=messages,
    max_tokens=100,
    temperature=0.7,
    n=1,
    stop=None,
    user=user_input,
)

Generating Responses

To extract and display the response from the API, add the following lines:

bot_reply = response.choices[0].message['content']
print(bot_reply)

Customizing the Bot

You can customize various aspects of the chat bot, such as its title and appearance. Explore the Gradio documentation to learn how to modify the bot according to your preferences.

Sharing the Bot with Others

If you want to share your chat bot with others, you can generate a link that allows them to Interact with it. However, please note that this may incur API usage costs. To generate the link, set the demo parameter to True.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to create a custom chat bot using GPT4's API. We covered the steps to request API access, set up your API billing account, and run the bot on Google Colab. We also explored customizing the bot and sharing it with others. Now it's your turn to get creative and have fun with your Own Chat bot. Happy coding!

FAQ

Q: Can I use GPT4's API without requesting access? A: No, you need to request access from OpenAI to use GPT4's API. However, the tutorial also covers how to use GPT 3.5 as an alternative.

Q: How much does using the OpenAI API cost? A: The cost varies depending on the usage. OpenAI charges per token, with a rate of approximately 0.03 cents per thousand tokens.

Q: Can I customize the appearance of the chat bot? A: Yes, you can customize the chat bot's appearance using the Gradio library. Check the documentation for more information on customization options.

Q: How long can I share the bot's link with others? A: The link generated to share the bot is valid for 72 hours. After that, it will expire.

Q: Can I create multiple chat bots using the same API key? A: Yes, you can create multiple chat bots using your OpenAI API key. Each chat bot will incur separate API usage costs.
