DirectAI

Overview

ChatGPT queries via OpenAI API in your terminal.

A quick utility you can keep in a terminal window to rapidly query OpenAI's ChatGPT via the API and receive the results. There are probably better, more fully featured alternatives out there but I got tired of looking and fighting with pre-reqs so I just threw this together.

Benefits

• Uses an OpenAI API key instead of fighting other users on the web interface
• Set the OpenAI API key in an environment variable (OPENAI_API_KEY) or as a flag
• Just input clear to clear the terminal
• Just input quit to exit the client back to the terminal

Disclaimer

• I'm not responsible for your ChatGPT addiction.
• Be careful not to query ChatGPT with sensitive information.
