chatbot-app

A Python application made with CustomTkinter that allows for chatting with chatbots

Requirements

Main

• Python 3.11
• Groq API Token (get a free key here: https://console.groq.com/keys)

Libaries

• CustomTkinter 5.2.2
• Pillow 11.3.0
• Groq 0.29.0

Other

• Assets to replace the placeholder ones
• Set the GROQ_API_KEY environmental variable

Building from source

Requirements

• PyInstaller

Limitations

• You need to run the installer on the architecture on which you want the application to run. (MacOS is an exception: https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/usage.html#cmdoption-target-architecture)
• API keys need to be defined in the source code (e.g.: groq_client = Groq(api_key="gsk_...") [temporary until full release]
• Icons and window names aren't fully supported. (just comment those lines out) [temporary until full release]

Instructions

1. Modify the code as needed to deal with the aforementioned limitations.
2. Run pyinstaller main.py -n APPLICATION_NAME in the directory where the script is located as well as all requirements listed in the first section.
3. Run ./dist/APPLICATION_NAME/APPLICATION_NAME or open the file saved at said location to open the application.

To-Do

Main

• Make "Chat History" label stick to the top of the sidebar
• add settings button on the top right
• add sidebar toggle in top bar
• add app name and version in top bar
• add current chat title as entry, and a "rename" button next to it so the chat can easily be renamed
• resize messages to fit message size

Extra

• add message history for a single chat
• add some other free api key providers like hugging face or that other one (check in that one discord bot)
• add chat regeneration button on bot message, and repurpose the button to be used for chat editing on the user message

Ideas

• add default system prompts from here: https://github.com/guy915/LLM-System-Prompts
• provide better installer script
• package releases built from source
