AI Mental Health Chatbot

This code is 95% written by GPT-4. The only human input was the prompt.

The challenge

I decided to see if I could write a mobile app by only using GPT-4, in a framework I'm not 100% familiar with. The result is in this github project.

End result

I ended up with a working prototype. The chat was working, the auth was working. Then I decided to add chat history storage with firebase which is not working yet. Code is written but the app throws an error. I believe that it is possible to fix this problem by conversing with GPT-4, but I'm not going to spend more time on this.

About myself

I'm a fullstack software engineer with over 15 years of experience. My tech stack spans from Python, Javascript, React, Go, little bit of Java and C#. Most of my career I've spent building data pipelines for startups like People.ai and big tech like Meta.

The prompt

The above API documentation for ChatGPT. 

Now write mobile application "ai mental coach", where user can consult with an AI on a mental health-related problem

Then followed by the prompts found in the GPT-HISTORY.md file.

Difficulties encountered

1. It took me a while to actually run the final app on my phone. But most of or all were resolved by feeding the errors back to GPT-4.
2. GPT-4 has limited context, so as you go deep you have to remove some conversation history (hence not everything is captured in the GPT-HISTORY.md file).
3. I have spent at least an hour debugging authorization with google issues and firebase, resolved by feeding errors back to GPT-4, and my previous experience with firebase/mobile apps.
