chatcraft.org VS askai

My https://chatcraft.org offers free models and is open source. They start throttling under heavier usage tho.

Gonna add some free models with search in future

This week, I came across an interesting problem while working on an issue in ChatCraft.

This has been a true privilege working on a cool project with a great team, and under an exceptional mentor.

Finally, Its the last week of semester and we had our last class of Open Source Development Project with David Humphrey. I would like to thank David for being my professor and mentor. I've taken 30 courses in Seneca and I would like to say that the three courses by David Humphrey were the one in which I learnt the most, i.e two open source courses which enhanced my github profile, gained confidence in git skills. Also before the courses ,I always wanted to contribute in Open Source but had no idea where to start from. I would also like to thank Taras Glek for giving me an opportunity to work on ChatCraft.org. Working on ChatCraft has been the biggest project I've ever worked on till date.

This week we met with Taras, the founder of ChatCraft online to showcase our contributions and get some professional advice from him. It was very rewarding to see what we managed to get done in the span of four months with our small team of six!

This semester has been a whirlwind of coding, collaboration, and learning as I dove headfirst into the world of open source development with ChatCraft. My journey was marked by significant contributions, including 14 pull requests (PRs), the development of 4 major features, and the squashing of numerous bugs. Here's a closer look at what I've accomplished and the invaluable lessons I've learned along the way.

PR 580 Merged

That's right. The BIG 2.0 release for ChatCraft is scheduled by the end of next week. We have been working to build on ChatCraft's existing functionality in its v1.0 state for almost 13 weeks now, and have successfully added lots of cool features (even this post's cover photo is generated by ChatCraft).

This week on ChatCraft, I fixed a few bugs I found in production that have arisen since the new custom provider feature was implemented. I was able to find these bugs because I reviewed many PRs this week and during testing those PRs I was able to see some abnormal behaviour.

ChatCraft Release 1.9 is available here

We'll use several interesting technologies to achieve this: Strapi CMS to take care of the content management and backend, Astro which is a great new technology for quickly creating blazing fast frontend apps, and ChatGPT to provide the article summaries.

I was confused why https://chat.openai.com suddenly redirects to https://chatgpt.com which results in connection refused. Turns out chatgpt.com is in many blocklists (e.g. Pi-Hole) due to it being a potentially unsafe Domain before OpenAI acquiring it. So heads up if you use Pi-Hole / AdGuard etc.!

This API allows you to interact with ChatGPT programmatically, and I've built some cool agents on top of it. Check out the code and let me know what you think! :

ChatGPT unofficial API :

This project is a Node.js application that interacts with the ChatGPT conversational AI model using Puppeteer, a Node.js library for automating web browsers.

Files chatgptv1.js: This file contains the main logic for the ChatGPT bot, including methods for initializing the browser, sending messages, receiving replies, and handling errors.

bart.js: This file contains a function that uses the Cloudflare API to summarize the conversation history when an error occurs, in order to resume the conversation.

twochatbotsconv.js: This file is simple use of the API , which creates two instances of the ChatGPT class, initiates a conversation between them, and saves the conversation history to a file.

.env: This file contains the API token for the Cloudflare API, which is used in the bart.js file.

Dependencies :

puppeteer: A Node.js library for automating web browsers. fs: The built-in file system module in Node.js. winston: A logging library for Node.js. crypto: The built-in cryptography module in Node.js. axios: A popular HTTP client library for Node.js. dotenv: A zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a .env file.

Usage:

Install the dependencies by running npm install in your project directory. Create a .env file in the project directory and add your Cloudflare API token:

API_TOKEN=YourfreeCloudFlareAPIToken In your code, create a new instance of the ChatGPT class and use the sendMessage and getReply methods to interact with the ChatGPT model:

const ChatGPT = require('./chatgptv1');

const chatgpt = new ChatGPT(); await chatgpt.initializeBrowser();

await chatgpt.sendMessage('Hello, ChatGPT!'); const reply = await chatgpt.getReply(); console.log(reply);

await chatgpt.closeBrowser(); If an error occurs during the conversation, the handleError method will attempt to save the conversation history and resume the conversation using the summarized context.

Before Running :

run Google chrom in the debug mode using 9220 port , run : google-chrome-stable --remote-debugging-port=9222

Customization :

You can customize the behavior of the ChatGPT bot by passing options to the ChatGPT constructor:

chatbotUrl: The URL of the ChatGPT interface (default: 'https://chat.openai.com/'). headless: Whether to run the browser in headless mode (default: false). saveConversationCallback: A callback function that will be called with the conversation summary and the conversation file name when an error occurs.

After wrestling with it for a bit and eventually giving up, I instead turned to ChatGPT to see if it is smart enough for the task. With my free plan, I asked ChatGPT 3.5 the following:
