nlpip - A natural language based unix pipeline utility

nlpip takes a text written in natural language as input, and performs a specified command also written in natural language, and then outputs the result in natural language.

Here's a demo:

Installation

First, you need to install nlpip using pip:

pip install nlpip

Then, set your OpenAI's API key as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=WRITE_YOUR_KEY_HERE

Default model is gpt-3.5-turbo. If you want to use a different model, you can set it as an environment variable. For example, if you want to use gpt-4 model, you can run:

export OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4

How to use

nlpip or just nlp for short, provides following default commands:

• keywords: Extract keywords from input text
• poem: Write poem using input text
• summarize: Summarize input text
• sentiment: Analyze sentiment of input text

For example, if you want summarize input.txt and turn it into a poem, you can run the following command:

cat input.txt | nlp summarize | nlp poem

How to create a new command

To create a new command, you just need to create a text file containing the command in natural language. For example, if you want to create a command that translates input text into French, you can create a file named ~/.nlpip/prompts/fr.txt in with:

Translate into French

Then, you can run the following command:

echo Hello | nlp fr

And you will get the following output:

Bonjour

You may override default commands by creating a file with the same name in ~/.nlpip/prompts/.
