Official OpenAI Ruby Gem
What’s the relationship, if any, with https://github.com/alexrudall/ruby-openai ?
That gem is actively maintained and widely used. It’s a good gem! But by definition they’re always playing catch up.

Building an app around a LLM, Rails + Python or just Python?
If you can just interact with OpenAI api directly without langchain then that eliminates need for python. Here’s a gem for interacting with the OpenAI api : https://github.com/alexrudall/ruby-openai

Looking for self-hosted tools with OpenAI API support
I've been playing with ruby-openai, a Ruby gem (ie, library) that interfaces with the OpenAI API. I'm building myself a small movie-recommendation tool, just a personal need, as well as to teach myself how this stuff works. It's unlikely I'll ever build it into a proper app, as I'm okay with interacting in the shell and with text files, versus a web-based thing. But if there's interest, I'll push my tool up to Github.

Acquia, My Drupal Startup
You might want to also check out memos. Nothing like Drupal or WP, but for saving notes/entries/memos and having a very simple system to make some posts public, some only shared with a small group, and some completely private, it's a very elegant system. https://github.com/usememos/memos
