# OpenAI Chatbot Example

This repository contains examples of using the OpenAI GPT-3 model to create a chatbot that can hold conversations with users.

## Prerequisites

- OpenAI Python Package (`openai`)
- `requests` library (for Method 2)

You can install the required libraries using the following commands:

```bash
pip install openai requests

Method 1 - Using OpenAI Python Package

This method demonstrates how to use the OpenAI Python package to create a chatbot using the gpt-3.5-turbo model.

The code provided in the repository (method_1_openai_package.py) includes:

• Setting up the OpenAI API key.
• Initiating a conversation with a system message.
• Taking user inputs and generating replies using the chatbot.
• Displaying the chat history.

Method 2 - Using API Endpoint

This method demonstrates how to interact with the OpenAI API directly using HTTP requests.

The code provided in the repository (method_2_api_endpoint.py) includes:

• Defining the API endpoint URL.
• Creating a payload with user inputs and other parameters.
• Sending a POST request to the API endpoint.
• Extracting and displaying the generated response.

Usage

1. Set up your OpenAI API key by replacing 'sk-' in the code with your actual API key.

2. Choose the method you want to use (Method 1 or Method 2).

3. Run the selected script using a Python interpreter:

   python method_1_openai_package.py

   or

   python method_2_api_endpoint.py

4. Observe the interaction with the chatbot and the generated responses.

Notes

• Make sure to review the OpenAI API documentation for more information on available models, parameters, and best practices.
