Guide: Building a Chatbot Integrated with ChatGPT API

Step 1: Install Required Applications

1. Install Python (if not already installed) - Download from Python.org.


2. Install VSCode - Download from Visual Studio Code website.

Step 2: Set Up a Virtual Environment

1. Open VSCode and create a new folder for your project.


2. Open the terminal in VSCode (Ctrl + ~) and create a virtual environment:
python -m venv chatbot_env
3. Activate the environment:
- Windows: chatbot_env\Scripts\activate
- Mac/Linux: source chatbot_env/bin/activate

Step 3: Install Required Libraries

1. In the activated terminal, install the necessary packages:


pip install flask openai
- Flask: for deploying the chatbot.
- OpenAI: to connect with the ChatGPT API.

Step 4: Sign Up on OpenAI and Get API Key

1. Create an account on OpenAI and go to your API dashboard.


2. Create an API key and copy it for integration.

Step 5: Write Chatbot Code with OpenAI Integration

1. Create a new file named chatbot.py in your project folder.


2. Write the following code to set up a chatbot using Flask and OpenAI’s API.
3. Replace "your_openai_api_key_here" with your actual API key.

Code:
import openai
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
app = Flask(__name__)
openai.api_key = "your_openai_api_key_here"

@app.route('/chat', methods=['POST'])
def chat():
user_input = request.json.get("message")
response = openai.Completion.create(
model="text-davinci-003",
prompt=user_input,
max_tokens=150,
n=1,
stop=None,
temperature=0.7
)
chatbot_response = response.choices[0].text.strip()
return jsonify({"response": chatbot_response})

if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)

Step 6: Test Locally

1. Run the chatbot locally by entering:


python chatbot.py
2. Test by sending POST requests to http://127.0.0.1:5000/chat.

Step 7: Add Requirements File for Deployment

1. Create a file named requirements.txt.


2. List the libraries with versions by running:
pip freeze > requirements.txt

Step 8: Prepare for Deployment (e.g., on Heroku)

1. Initialize Git for version control.


2. Create a Procfile and add "web: python chatbot.py" to it.

Step 9: Deploy to a Cloud Platform (Example: Heroku)

1. Commit and push files to GitHub or Heroku.


2. Deploy on Heroku, adding your OpenAI API key as a config variable.
