custom-chat

A take on ChatGPT with some features that I have wanted for a while. Also testing out using Vite with PhET code. See https://github.com/phetsims/phet-vite-demo.

Mostly, it has speech built in to the web interface, either from SpeechSynthesis or from OpenAI's speech API. Conversations are saved to local storage.

Quick Start

(1) Clone the repo.

(2) Install dev dependencies:

cd custom-chat
npm install

(3) Create a .env file in the root directory. Add your OpenAI API key to the .env file:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key

(4) Run it from a browser:

The following will run a server on your local machine, and you can navigate to the URL:

npm run dev

It will print out the URL to navigate to, e.g. http://localhost:5173/.

Improvement Ideas

• Handle changing conversations mid-request.
• Settings for voice/speech options.
• Stream results from OpenAI.
