gpta

Is a ChatGPT-style assistant that can be easily accessed from the terminal. Users have the option to either use the default assistant or configure their own. Assistants and sessions are persistent to ensure continuity between uses.

While gpta communicates with OpenAI's chat API, all assistants and chat sessions are kept exclusively on the user's computer. gpta will prompt you to enter a valid OpenAI API key once.

Simply put, with gpta you can easily access and use ChatGPT without any hassle.

Arguments are all optional. Their uses range from setting a new API key to creating and modifying assistant profiles.

• temp : Tweaks the temperature. Default is 0.5.
• tokens : Sets the maximum number of tokens allowed for the answer. Default is 1024.
• history : Sets the number of previous messages that should be resent with each prompt. Default is 5.

dotgpt.OpenAI.Chat.Session

This is a straightforward C# class that facilitates communication with Open AI's chat completion API. The class leverages an event stream to efficiently receive tokens as they get generated.

How to use in your code

    string apiKey = "{YOUR-API-KEY}";
    dotgpt.OpenAI.Chat.Session session = new dotgpt.OpenAI.Chat.Session(apiKey)
    {
        PromptHistory = 5,
        Instructions = "You're an AI assistant capable of providing detailed answers to technical questions. ",
        MaxTokens = 1024
    };

    string prompt = "What's a detached HEAD in git?";

    var onRoleChanged = (string role) => { Console.Write($"\n{role}:\n"); };
    var onToken = (string token) => { Console.Write(token); };
    dotgpt.OpenAI.Chat.Message m = await session.EnterPrompt(prompt, onRoleChanged, onToken);
