It was November 2022, when OpenAI launched its ambitious baby ChatGPT and soon the world witnessed (almost awestruck) the superpowers of Generative AI. How else can you explain the incredible popularity this chatbot received in just a few months of its release?

ChatGPT literally exploded in the tech arena and became the fastest-growing user base in history. According to Reuters, in January, ChatGPT amassed a whopping 100 million monthly active users, just two months after its debut, making it the fastest-growing consumer application.

While we are still minutely exploring many of this large language model’s capabilities, in this post, we are covering the process of creating an AI app using ChatGPT. Before then, let’s discuss a bit about chatGPT and how it functions, and why it matters so much.

What Is a Chatbot?

In simple terms, a chatbot is an artificial intelligence-powered computer software that has text- or audio-based conversations with users online. Chatbots are used practically everywhere – from apps and websites to messaging services like Twitter, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp.

The requirement for continuous customer support, the adoption of sophisticated chatbots by industry participants, and the rising prevalence of chatbots on e-commerce websites are all factors that are propelling the growth of the chatbot market.

The market’s expansion is hampered by the need for greater user knowledge of chatbot technology and the inaccuracy of user voice authentication.

Initiatives to create self-learning chatbots that offer more human-like interaction are also anticipated to open up industry expansion potential.

What is ChatGPT and How Does it Work?

ChaGPT is a chatbot that comes under Generative AI – robust systems that are trained to convert text to image content. Visitors can ask ChatGPT questions via prompts or seek explanations for its responses, similar to automated chat services seen on customer support websites. OpenAI calls ChatGPT the sibling model of one of their tools, InstructGPT, which follows human prompts or queries and offers detailed responses.

Generic Artificial intelligence is used by the pre-trained transformer to reply to people in a natural way. It has all the answers, can produce engaging content and marketing campaigns, and amazingly turns readers into devoted customers.

ChatGPT was taught using text from the internet to pick up on human language, and it subsequently used transcripts to pick up on conversational fundamentals. With its Generative Pre-trained Transformer, ChatGPT analyses data sequences in order to identify patterns. ChatGPT utilizes the third version of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer, a neural network machine learning model, and the GPT-3 language model.

A dataset of 300 billion words was used to train ChatGPT. The 570 GB dataset was made up of crawling online material, books, Wikipedia, and other sources. Because it uses a vast language system, the model uses probability to forecast the next word or prompt in a sentence.

The Founders of ChatGPT

This technology is developed by Open AI, a San Francisco-based start-up generously backed by several investors, the most prominent one being Microsoft Corporation. Elon Musk and Sam Altman were among the businessmen and researchers who created it in 2015. By the end of 2024, ChatGPT’s owner OpenAI expects to be able to produce $1 billion in income.

Currently, practically all major businesses and articulate leaders of the sector have strategically employed this AI stalwart to realize their objectives. Nearly nine out of ten brands or marketers are utilizing ChatGPT to its fullest extent.

What can You Do With ChatGPT?

From helping you earn money and transforming the face of healthcare and finance to streamlining the functioning of contact centers and enhancing digital CX and enhancing the working of contact centers, ChatGPT has been a phenomenal force to reckon with. Besides customer service operations, chatGPT is also enabling content marketers, sales professionals, and even students to create original content when a user enters a prompt. Computers may now plausibly display creativity thanks to generative AI.

Code programs.
Create videos.
Write product descriptions, ad copies, etc.

Did you know that according to a new analysis by Precedence Research, the size of the worldwide chatbot industry is expected to be over USD 4.9 billion by 2032, up from an estimated USD 0.84 billion in 2022, and it will increase at a CAGR of 19.29% from 2023 to 2032?

Prepping the Software Environment

Before you construct an AI chatbot using ChatGPT, you need to prepare the setting with a few tools.

A code editor like OpenAI, Python, Notepad++, Pip, and Gradio libraries, as well as an OpenAI API key, are also required.

Although using all of these tools might initially appear overwhelming, these are simple and you don’t require any special technical skills to do it.

Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Installing Python on your PC is the first step. Visit this link to download the platform-specific setup file.

Step 2: Run the setup file. Remember to click the “Add Python.exe to PATH” checkbox. DO NOT forget to click on “Install Now”. Proceed with the usual steps to install Python.

Step 3: To double-check if Python is properly installed, open Terminal on the computer. You may also use Command Prompt.

Step 4: Use the command below to get the Python version. Python version will be output. In the case of Linux or other systems, you might need to use the python3 –version instead of the python –version.

Pip upgradation

While the system installs Python, pip (package for Python) is also installed. Here, we will focus on how to upgrade pip. It allows you to use the Terminal to install many Python libraries. Installing OpenAI and Gradio libraries is possible via Pip. Here’s how you approach it.

Step 1: Launch your preferred Terminal on your computer and run the command to upgrade pip. On Linux or other platforms, you might need to use pip3 and Python 3.

python -m pip install -U pip

Install OpenAI and Gradio Libraries

To interact with ChatGPT, install the OpenAI library, which will enable us to chat with ChatGPT through their API.

Step 1: Run the following line in the Terminal to use Pip to install the OpenAI library. Try executing the command with pip3 if the first one doesn’t work.

Step 2: After the installation is complete, install Gradio. With Gradio, you can easily create a user-friendly web interface to showcase your AI chatbot. Additionally, it enables simple online chatbot sharing via a shareable link.

Download a Code Editor

Step 1: Download the code editor in case you have to edit the code.

Step 2: Using the link in the attachment, download and install the application.

Step 3: If you are familiar with powerful IDEs, utilize VS Code on any platform. On macOS and Linux, in addition to VS Code, Sublime Text (Download) can be installed.

Step 4: With ChromeOS, you may edit the code using the fantastic Caret tool (Download).

Get the OpenAI API Key (Free)

One of the basic requirements for creating a ChatGPT-powered AI chatbot is an API key from OpenAI. You can call ChatGPT in your own interface and get the results immediately away thanks to the API key. In the initial three months, OpenAI is giving away free API keys together with $5 in free credit.

You might have free credit available for $18 if you registered for an OpenAI account earlier. You will need to pay for the API access once the complimentary credit has run out. But, it is currently accessible to all free users.

Step 1: Open platform.openai.com/signup and create a new account. In case of an old account, enter your login credentials.

Step 2: On the top right side corner, click your profile and click “View API keys” from the drop-down menu.

Step 3: Copy the API key by selecting “Generate new secret key” and clicking. Please be aware that you cannot later copy or read the complete API key. So, it is highly advised to copy and paste the API key into a Notepad file right away.

Step 4: Don’t divulge or show the API key to the public. It is a secret key that can only be used to access your account. Moreover, you can generate numerous private keys and erase API keys (up to five).

Create Your Own AI Chatbot using ChatGPT API and Gradio

You will be using the “gpt-3.5-turbo” model from OpenAI, the most recent version of GPT-3.5. It is considered more powerful than Davinci, more responsive and affordable than the older devices, and can recollect the context of the conversation.

For the user interface, use Gradio to build a straightforward web interface that will be accessible locally and online.

Step 1: Paste the code below into Notepad++ or any code editor of your choice.

Step 2: Replace the text that reads “Your API key” with the API key you generated earlier. There is only one modification you need to make.

Step 3: Click File in the top menu, and save it using ‘Save As’ from the dropdown menu.

Step 4: Name the file “app.py”. From the drop-down option, select “Save as type” and select “All types.”

Step 5: Save the document to a location that is simple to find, such as your desktop. You can rename it to whatever you like as long as.py is added.

Step 6: Access the location where you stored the file (app.py). Choose “Copy as path” by performing right-clicking on it.

Step 7: Go to the Terminal and enter the command listed below. Enter Python, add a space, paste the path (use the right-click menu to easily paste), and then press the Enter key.

Remember, the computer’s file path will be different. You might need to utilize Python 3 on Linux platforms.

python “C:UsersmearjDesktopapp.py

Step 8: Ignore any warning that may pop up. Copy the local and public URL from the bottom and paste it into the web browser.

You have successfully built your own AI chatbot with the ChatGPT API. Your ChatGPT-powered chatbot is live for use. Copy the public URL and share it with your family and friends. Every query you have can be asked, and you will quickly receive a response. Besides the ChatGPT alternatives, you may use your own chatbot as an alternative to the official website.

The link will be active for 72 hours, but since the web server instance is operating on your machine, you must also keep it on.

Step 8: Go to the Terminal and press “Ctrl + C” to shut down the server. Click “Ctrl + C” once again if it still does not work.

Step 9: Copy the file path again to run the below command and restart the AI chatbot. With each server restart, the local URL will remain the same, but the public URL will change.

python “C:UsersmearjDesktopapp.py”

These were the steps to build your own chatbot using Chatbot With ChatGPT 3.5 Model. The gpt-3.5-turbo model can also be customized to your own responsibilities. With AI, the options are unlimited and you can achieve anything.

While creating an AI app using ChatGPT is a monumental milestone in the history of artificial intelligence, this chatbot by OpenAI also has some limitations and unfortunately even being used for malicious reasons, such as creating phishing emails and hacking programs.
