Quick Start

Setting-up OpenAI API KEY

During the initial launch, you must configure your API key within the application.

To do so, navigate to the menu:

Config -> Settings...

and then paste the API key into the OpenAI API KEY field.

Overview

The API key can be obtained by registering on the OpenAI website:

https://platform.openai.com

Your API keys will be available here:

https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

Note: The ability to use models within the application depends on the API user's access to a given model!

Chat, completion, assistants and vision (GPT-4, GPT-3.5, Langchain)

Chat

+ inline Vision and Image generation

This mode in PyGPT mirrors ChatGPT, allowing you to chat with models such as GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-3.5. It's easy to switch models whenever you want. It works by using the ChatCompletion API.

The main part of the interface is a chat window where conversations appear. Right below that is where you type your messages. On the right side of the screen, there's a section to set up or change your system prompts. You can also save these setups as presets to quickly switch between different models or tasks.

Above where you type your messages, the interface shows you the number of tokens your message will use up as you type it – this helps to keep track of usage. There's also a feature to upload files in this area. Go to the Files tab to manage your uploads or add attachments to send to the OpenAI API (but this makes effect only in Assisant and Vision modes).

Vision: If you want to send photos or image from camera to analysis you must enable plugin GPT-4 Vision Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to send photos or image from camera to analysis in any Chat mode:

With this plugin, you can capture an image with your camera or attach an image and send it for analysis to discuss the photograph:

Image generation: If you want to generate images (using DALL-E) directly in chat you must enable plugin DALL-E 3 Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to generate images in Chat mode:

Completion

This mode provides in-depth access to a broader range of capabilities offered by Large Language Models (LLMs). While it maintains a chat-like interface for user interaction, it introduces additional settings and functional richness beyond typical chat exchanges. Users can leverage this mode to prompt models for complex text completions, role-play dialogues between different characters, perform text analysis, and execute a variety of other sophisticated tasks. It supports any model provided by the OpenAI API as well as other models through Langchain.

Similar to chat mode, on the right-hand side of the interface, there are convenient presets. These allow you to fine-tune instructions and swiftly transition between varied configurations and pre-made prompt templates.

Additionally, this mode offers options for labeling the AI and the user, making it possible to simulate dialogues between specific characters - for example, you could create a conversation between Batman and the Joker, as predefined in the prompt. This feature presents a range of creative possibilities for setting up different conversational scenarios in an engaging and exploratory manner.

From version 2.0.107 the davinci models are deprecated and has been replaced with gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct model in Completion mode.

Assistants

This mode uses the new OpenAI's Assistants API.

This mode expands on the basic chat functionality by including additional external tools like a Code Interpreter for executing code, Retrieval Files for accessing files, and custom Functions for enhanced interaction and integration with other APIs or services. In this mode, you can easily upload and download files. PyGPT streamlines file management, enabling you to quickly upload documents and manage files created by the model.

Setting up new assistants is simple - a single click is all it takes, and they instantly sync with the OpenAI API. Importing assistants you've previously created with OpenAI into PyGPT is also a seamless process.

In Assistant mode you are allowed to storage your files (per Assistant) and manage them easily from app:

Please note that token usage calculation is unavailable in this mode. Nonetheless, file (attachment) uploads are supported. Simply navigate to the Files tab to effortlessly manage files and attachments which can be sent to the OpenAI API.

Vision (GPT-4 Vision)

This mode enables image analysis using the GPT-4 Vision model. Functioning much like the chat mode, it also allows you to upload images or provide URLs to images. The vision feature can analyze both local images and those found online.

From version 2.0.68 - Vision is integrated into any chat mode via plugin GPT-4 Vision (inline). Just enable the plugin and use Vision in standard modes.

From version 2.0.14 - Vision mode also includes real-time video capture from camera. To enable capture check the option Camera on the right-bottom corner. It will enable real-time capturing from your camera. To capture image from camera and append it to chat just click on video at left side. You can also enable Auto capture - image will be captured and appended to chat message every time you send message.

1) Video camera real-time image capture

2) you can also provide an image URL

3) or you can just upload your local images or use the inline Vision in the standard chat mode:

Tip: When using Vision (inline) by utilizing a plugin in standard mode, such as Chat (not Vision mode), the + Vision special checkbox will appear at the bottom of the Chat window. It will be automatically enabled any time you provide content for analysis (like an uploaded photo). When the checkbox is enabled, the vision model is used. If you wish to exit the vision model after image analysis, simply uncheck the checkbox. It will activate again automatically when the next image content for analysis is provided.

Langchain

This mode enables you to work with models that are supported by Langchain. The Langchain support is integrated into the application, allowing you to interact with any LLM by simply supplying a configuration file for the specific model. You can add as many models as you like; just list them in the configuration file named models.json.

Available LLMs providers supported by PyGPT:

- OpenAI
- Azure OpenAI
- HuggingFace
- Anthropic
- Llama 2
- Ollama

You have the ability to add custom model wrappers for models that are not available by default in PyGPT. To integrate a new model, you can create your own wrapper and register it with the application. Detailed instructions for this process are provided in the section titled Managing models / Adding models via Langchain.

Chat with files (Llama-index)

This mode enables chat interaction with your documents and entire context history through conversation. It seamlessly incorporates Llama-index into the chat interface, allowing for immediate querying of your indexed documents.

To start, you need to index (embed) the files you want to use as additional context. Embedding transforms your text data into vectors. If you're unfamiliar with embeddings and how they work, check out this article:

https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/11/09/an-intuitive-introduction-to-text-embeddings/

For a visualization from OpenAI's page, see this picture:

Source: https://cdn.openai.com/new-and-improved-embedding-model/draft-20221214a/vectors-3.svg

To index your files, simply copy or upload them into the data directory and initiate indexing (embedding) by clicking the Index all button, or right-click on a file and select Index.... Additionally, you have the option to utilize data from indexed files in any Chat mode by activating the Chat with files (Llama-index, inline) plugin.

After the file(s) are indexed (embedded in vector store), you can use context from them in chat mode:

Built-in file loaders (offline): text files, pdf, csv, md, docx, json, epub, xlsx. You can extend this list in Settings / Llama-index by providing list of online loaders (from LlamaHub) - but only for Python version, will not work in compiled version. All loaders included for offline use are also from LlamaHub, but they are attached locally with all necessary library dependencies included. You can also develop and provide your own custom offline loader and register it within the application.

From version 2.0.100 Llama-index is also integrated with context database - you can use data from database (your context history) as additional context in discussion. Options for indexing existing context history or enabling real-time indexing new ones (from database) are available in Settings / Llama-index section.

WARNING: remember that when indexing content, API calls to the embedding model (text-embedding-ada-002) are used. Each indexing consumes additional tokens. Always control the number of tokens used on the OpenAI page.

Tip: when using Chat with files you are using additional context from db data and files indexed from data directory, not the files sending via Attachments tab. Attachments tab in Chat with files mode can be used to provide images to Vision (inline) plugin only.

Token limit: When you use Chat with files in non-query mode, Llama-index adds extra context to the system prompt. If you use a plugins (which also adds more instructions to system prompt), you might go over the maximum number of tokens allowed. If you get a warning that says you've used too many tokens, turn off plugins you're not using or turn off the "Execute commands" option to reduce the number of tokens used by the system prompt.

Available vector stores (provided by Llama-index):

- ChromaVectorStore
- ElasticsearchStore
- PinecodeVectorStore
- RedisVectorStore
- SimpleVectorStore

You can configure selected vector store by providing config options like api_key, etc. in Settings -> Llama-index window. Arguments provided here (on list: Vector Store (**kwargs) in Advanced settings will be passed to selected vector store provider. You can check keyword arguments needed by selected provider on Llama-index API reference page:

https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/api_reference/storage/vector_store.html

Which keyword arguments are passed to providers?

For ChromaVectorStore and SimpleVectorStore all arguments are set by PyGPT and passed internally (you do not need to configure anything). For other providers you can provide these arguments:

ElasticsearchStore

Arguments for ElasticsearchStore(**kwargs):

• index_name (default: current index ID, already set, not required)
• any other keyword arguments provided on list

PinecodeVectorStore

Arguments for Pinecone(**kwargs):

• api_key
• index_name (default: current index ID, already set, not required)

RedisVectorStore

Arguments for RedisVectorStore(**kwargs):

• index_name (default: current index ID, already set, not required)
• any other keyword arguments provided on list

You can extend list of available providers by creating custom provider and registering it on app launch.

Multiple vector databases support is already in beta. Will work better in next releases.

By default, you are using chat-based mode when using Chat with files. If you want to only query index (without chat) you can enable Query index only (without chat) option.

Adding custom vector stores and offline data loaders

You can create a custom vector store provider or data loader for your data and develop a custom launcher for the application. To register your custom vector store provider or data loader, simply register it by passing the vector store provider instance to vector_stores keyword argument and loader instance in the loaders keyword argument:

# custom_launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM
from vector_stores import CustomVectorStore
from loaders import CustomLoader

plugins = [
    CustomPlugin(),
    OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = [
    CustomVectorStore(),
]
loaders = [
    CustomLoader(),
]

run(
    plugins=plugins,
    llms=llms,
    vector_stores=vector_stores,  # <--- list with custom vector store providers
    loaders=loaders  # <--- list with custom data loaders
)

The vector store provider must be an instance of pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.base.BaseStore. You can review the code of the built-in providers in pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores and use them as examples when creating a custom provider.

The data loader must be an instance of pygpt_net.provider.loaders.base.BaseLoader. You can review the code of the built-in loaders in pygpt_net.provider.loaders and use them as examples when creating a custom loader.

Agent (autonomous)

This mode is experimental.

WARNING: Please use this mode with caution! - autonomous mode, when connected with other plugins, may produce unexpected results!

The mode activates autonomous mode, where AI begins a conversation with itself. You can set this loop to run for any number of iterations. Throughout this sequence, the model will engage in self-dialogue, answering his own questions and comments, in order to find the best possible solution, subjecting previously generated steps to criticism.

WARNING: Setting the number of run steps (iterations) to 0 activates an infinite loop which can generate a large number of requests and cause very high token consumption, so use this option with caution! Confirmation will be displayed every time you run the infinite loop.

This mode is similar to Auto-GPT - it can be used to create more advanced inferences and to solve problems by breaking them down into subtasks that the model will autonomously perform one after another until the goal is achieved.

You can create presets with custom instructions for multiple agents, incorporating various workflows, instructions, and goals to achieve.

All plugins are available for agents, so you can enable features such as file access, command execution, web searching, image generation, vision analysis, etc., for your agents. Connecting agents with plugins can create a fully autonomous, self-sufficient system. All currently enabled plugins are automatically available to the Agent.

When the Auto-stop option is enabled, the agent will attempt to stop once the goal has been reached.

Options

The agent is essentially a virtual mode that internally sequences the execution of a selected underlying mode. You can choose which internal mode the agent should use in the settings:

Settings / Agent (autonomous) / Sub-mode to use

Available choices include: chat, completion, langchain, vision, llama_index (Chat with files).

Default is: chat.

If you want to use the Llama-index mode when running the agent, you can also specify which index Llama-index should use with the option:

Settings / Agent (autonomous) / Index to use

Files and attachments

Input attachments (upload)

PyGPT makes it simple for users to upload files to the server and send them to the model for tasks like analysis, similar to attaching files in ChatGPT. There's a separate Files tab next to the text input area specifically for managing file uploads. Users can opt to have files automatically deleted after each upload or keep them on the list for repeated use.

The attachment feature is available in both the Assistant and Vision modes at default. In Assistant mode, you can send documents and files to analyze, while in Vision mode, you can send images. In other modes, you can enable attachments by activating the Vision (inline) plugin (for providing images only).

Files (download, code generation)

PyGPT enables the automatic download and saving of files created by the model. This is carried out in the background, with the files being saved to an data folder located within the user's working directory. To view or manage these files, users can navigate to the Files tab which features a file browser for this specific directory. Here, users have the interface to handle all files sent by the AI.

This data directory is also where the application stores files that are generated locally by the AI, such as code files or any other data requested from the model. Users have the option to execute code directly from the stored files and read their contents, with the results fed back to the AI. This hands-off process is managed by the built-in plugin system and model-triggered commands. You can also indexing files from this directory (using integrated Llama-index) and use it's contents as additional context provided to discussion.

The Command: Files I/O plugin takes care of file operations in the data directory, while the Command: Code Interpreter plugin allows for the execution of code from these files.

To allow the model to manage files or python code execution, the Execute commands option must be active, along with the above-mentioned plugins:

Draw (paint)

Using the Draw tool, you can create quick sketches and submit them to the model for analysis. You can also edit opened from disk or captured from camera images, for example, by adding elements like arrows or outlines to objects. Additionally, you can capture screenshots from the system - the captured image is placed in the drawing tool and attached to the query being sent.

To capture the screenshot just click on the Ask with screenshot option in a tray-icon dropdown:

Calendar

Using the calendar, you can go back to selected conversations from a specific day and add daily notes. After adding a note, it will be marked on the list, and you can change the color of its label by right-clicking and selecting Set label color. By clicking on a particular day of the week, conversations from that day will be displayed.

Context and memory

Short and long-term memory

PyGPT features a continuous chat mode that maintains a long context of the ongoing dialogue. It preserves the entire conversation history and automatically appends it to each new message (prompt) you send to the AI. Additionally, you have the flexibility to revisit past conversations whenever you choose. The application keeps a record of your chat history, allowing you to resume discussions from the exact point you stopped.

Handling multiple contexts

On the left side of the application interface, there is a panel that displays a list of saved conversations. You can save numerous contexts and switch between them with ease. This feature allows you to revisit and continue from any point in a previous conversation. PyGPT automatically generates a summary for each context, akin to the way ChatGPT operates and gives you the option to modify these titles itself.

You can disable context support in the settings by using the following option:

Config -> Settings -> Use context 

Clearing history

You can clear the entire memory (all contexts) by selecting the menu option:

File -> Clear history...

Context storage

On the application side, the context is stored in the SQLite database located in the working directory (db.sqlite). In addition, all history is also saved to .txt files for easy reading.

Once a conversation begins, a title for the chat is generated and displayed on the list to the left. This process is similar to ChatGPT, where the subject of the conversation is summarized, and a title for the thread is created based on that summary. You can change the name of the thread at any time.

Presets

What is preset?

Presets in PyGPT are essentially templates used to store and quickly apply different configurations. Each preset includes settings for the mode you want to use (such as chat, completion, or image generation), an initial system message, an assigned name for the AI, a username for the session, and the desired "temperature" for the conversation. A warmer "temperature" setting allows the AI to provide more creative responses, while a cooler setting encourages more predictable replies. These presets can be used across various modes and with models accessed via the OpenAI API or Langchain.

The system lets you create as many presets as needed and easily switch among them. Additionally, you can clone an existing preset, which is useful for creating variations based on previously set configurations and experimentation.

Example usage

The application includes several sample presets that help you become acquainted with the mechanism of their use.

Image generation (DALL-E 3 and DALL-E 2)

DALL-E 3

PyGPT enables quick and easy image creation with DALL-E 3. The older model version, DALL-E 2, is also accessible. Generating images is akin to a chat conversation - a user's prompt triggers the generation, followed by downloading, saving to the computer, and displaying the image onscreen. You can send raw prompt to DALL-E in Image generation mode or ask the model for the best prompt.

From version 2.0.68 (released 2023-12-31) image generation using DALL-E is available in every mode via plugin DALL-E 3 Image Generation (inline). Just ask any model, in any mode, like e.g. GPT-4 to generate an image and it will do it inline, without need to mode change.

If you want to generate images (using DALL-E) directly in chat you must enable plugin DALL-E 3 Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to generate images in Chat mode:

Multiple variants

You can generate up to 4 different variants (DALL-E 2) for a given prompt in one session. DALL-E 3 allows one image. To select the desired number of variants to create, use the slider located in the right-hand corner at the bottom of the screen. This replaces the conversation temperature slider when you switch to image generation mode.

Raw mode

There is an option for switching prompt generation mode.

If Raw Mode is enabled, DALL-E will receive the prompt exactly as you have provided it. If Raw Mode is disabled, GPT will generate the best prompt for you based on your instructions.

Image storage

Once you've generated an image, you can easily save it anywhere on your disk by right-clicking on it. You also have the options to delete it or view it in full size in your web browser.

Tip: Use presets to save your prepared prompts. This lets you quickly use them again for generating new images later on.

The app keeps a history of all your prompts, allowing you to revisit any session and reuse previous prompts for creating new images.

Images are stored in img directory in PyGPT user data folder.

Managing models

All models are specified in the configuration file models.json, which you can customize. This file is located in your working directory. You can add new models provided directly by OpenAI API and those supported by Langchain to this file. Configuration for Langchain wrapper is placed in langchain key.

Adding custom LLMs via Langchain

To add a new model using the Langchain wrapper in PyGPT, insert the model's configuration details into the models.json file. This should include the model's name, its supported modes (either chat, completion, or both), the LLM provider (which can be either e.g. OpenAI or HuggingFace), and, if you are using a HuggingFace model, an optional API KEY.

Example of models configuration - models.json:

"gpt-3.5-turbo": {
    "id": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "mode": [
        "chat",

There is bult-in support for those LLMs providers:

- OpenAI (openai)
- Azure OpenAI (azure_openai)
- HuggingFace (huggingface)
- Anthropic (anthropic)
- Llama 2 (llama2)
- Ollama (ollama)

Adding custom LLM providers

Handling LLMs with Langchain is implemented through separated wrappers. This allows for the addition of support for any provider and model available via Langchain. All built-in wrappers for the models and its providers are placed in the pygpt_net.provider.llms.

These wrappers are loaded into the application during startup using launcher.add_llm() method:

# app.py

from pygpt_net.provider.llms.openai import OpenAILLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.azure_openai import AzureOpenAILLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.anthropic import AnthropicLLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.hugging_face import HuggingFaceLLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.llama import Llama2LLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.ollama import OllamaLLM


def run(**kwargs):
    """Runs the app."""
    # Initialize the app
    launcher = Launcher()
    launcher.init()

    # Register plugins
    ...

    # Register langchain LLMs wrappers
    launcher.add_llm(OpenAILLM())
    launcher.add_llm(AzureOpenAILLM())
    launcher.add_llm(AnthropicLLM())
    launcher.add_llm(HuggingFaceLLM())
    launcher.add_llm(Llama2LLM())
    launcher.add_llm(OllamaLLM())

    # Launch the app
    launcher.run()

To add support for providers not included by default, you can create your own wrapper that returns a custom model to the application and then pass this custom wrapper to the launcher.

Extending PyGPT with custom plugins and LLM wrappers is straightforward:

• Pass instances of custom plugins and LLM wrappers directly to the launcher.

To register custom LLM wrappers:

• Provide a list of LLM wrapper instances as llms keyword argument.

Example:

# launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM

plugins = [
    CustomPlugin(),
    OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = []

run(
    plugins=plugins, 
    llms=llms, 
    vector_stores=vector_stores
)

Examples (tutorial files)

See the examples directory in this repository with examples of custom launcher, plugin, vector store, LLM (Langchain and Llama-index) provider and data loader:

• examples/custom_launcher.py

• examples/example_audio_input.py

• examples/example_audio_output.py

• examples/example_data_loader.py

• examples/example_llm.py <-- use it as an example

• examples/example_plugin.py

• examples/example_vector_store.py

• examples/example_web_search.py

These example files can be used as a starting point for creating your own extensions for PyGPT.

To integrate your own model or provider into PyGPT, you can also reference the classes located in the pygpt_net.provider.llms. These samples can act as an more complex example for your custom class. Ensure that your custom wrapper class includes two essential methods: chat and completion. These methods should return the respective objects required for the model to operate in chat and completion modes.

Adding custom Vector Store providers

From version 2.0.114 you can also register your own Vector Store provider:

# app.py

# vector stores
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.chroma import ChromaProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.elasticsearch import ElasticsearchProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.pinecode import PinecodeProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.redis import RedisProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.simple import SimpleProvider

def run(**kwargs):
    # ...
    # register base vector store providers (llama-index)
    launcher.add_vector_store(ChromaProvider())
    launcher.add_vector_store(ElasticsearchProvider())
    launcher.add_vector_store(PinecodeProvider())
    launcher.add_vector_store(RedisProvider())
    launcher.add_vector_store(SimpleProvider())

    # register custom vector store providers (llama-index)
    vector_stores = kwargs.get('vector_stores', None)
    if isinstance(vector_stores, list):
        for store in vector_stores:
            launcher.add_vector_store(store)

    # ...

To register your custom vector store provider just register it by passing provider instance in vector_stores keyword argument:

# custom_launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM
from vector_stores import CustomVectorStore

plugins = [
    CustomPlugin(),
    OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = [
    CustomVectorStore(),
]

run(
    plugins=plugins,
    llms=llms,
    vector_stores=vector_stores
)

Plugins

PyGPT can be enhanced with plugins to add new features.

The following plugins are currently available, and model can use them instantly:

• Audio Input - provides speech recognition.

• Audio Output - provides voice synthesis.

• Autonomous Agent (inline) - enables autonomous conversation (AI to AI), manages loop, and connects output back to input. This is the inline Agent mode.

• Chat with files (Llama-index, inline) - plugin integrates Llama-index storage in any chat and provides additional knowledge into context (from indexed files and previous context from database).

• Command: API calls - plugin lets you connect the model to the external services using custom defined API calls.

• Command: Code Interpreter - responsible for generating and executing Python code, functioning much like the Code Interpreter on ChatGPT, but locally. This means GPT can interface with any script, application, or code. The plugin can also execute system commands, allowing GPT to integrate with your operating system. Plugins can work in conjunction to perform sequential tasks; for example, the Files plugin can write generated Python code to a file, which the Code Interpreter can execute it and return its result to GPT.

• Command: Custom Commands - allows you to create and execute custom commands on your system.

• Command: Files I/O - provides access to the local filesystem, enabling GPT to read and write files, as well as list and create directories.

• Command: Web Search - allows searching the internet and reading web pages.

• Command: Serial port / USB - plugin provides commands for reading and sending data to USB ports.

• Context history (calendar, inline) - provides access to context history database.

• Crontab / Task scheduler - plugin provides cron-based job scheduling - you can schedule tasks/prompts to be sent at any time using cron-based syntax for task setup.

• DALL-E 3: Image Generation (inline) - integrates DALL-E 3 image generation with any chat and mode. Just enable and ask for image in Chat mode, using standard model like GPT-4. The plugin does not require the Execute commands option to be enabled.

• GPT-4 Vision (inline) - integrates Vision capabilities with any chat mode, not just Vision mode. When the plugin is enabled, the model temporarily switches to vision in the background when an image attachment or vision capture is provided.

• Real Time - automatically appends the current date and time to the system prompt, informing the model about current time.

• System Prompt Extra (append) - appends additional system prompts (extra data) from a list to every current system prompt. You can enhance every system prompt with extra instructions that will be automatically appended to the system prompt.

Audio Input

The plugin facilitates speech recognition (by default using the Whisper model from OpenAI, Google and Bing are also available). It allows for voice commands to be relayed to the AI using your own voice. Whisper doesn't require any extra API keys or additional configurations; it uses the main OpenAI key. In the plugin's configuration options, you should adjust the volume level (min energy) at which the plugin will respond to your microphone. Once the plugin is activated, a new Speak option will appear at the bottom near the Send button - when this is enabled, the application will respond to the voice received from the microphone.

The plugin can be extended with other speech recognition providers.

Audio Output

The plugin lets you turn text into speech using the TTS model from OpenAI or other services like Microsoft Azure, Google, and Eleven Labs. You can add more text-to-speech providers to it too. OpenAI TTS does not require any additional API keys or extra configuration; it utilizes the main OpenAI key. Microsoft Azure requires to have an Azure API Key. Before using speech synthesis via Microsoft Azure, Google or Eleven Labs, you must configure the audio plugin with your API keys, regions and voices if required.

Through the available options, you can select the voice that you want the model to use. More voice synthesis providers coming soon.

To enable voice synthesis, activate the Audio Output plugin in the Plugins menu or turn on the Audio Output option in the Audio / Voice menu (both options in the menu achieve the same outcome).

Autonomous Agent (inline)

WARNING: Please use autonomous mode with caution! - this mode, when connected with other plugins, may produce unexpected results!

The plugin activates autonomous mode in standard chat modes, where AI begins a conversation with itself. You can set this loop to run for any number of iterations. Throughout this sequence, the model will engage in self-dialogue, answering his own questions and comments, in order to find the best possible solution, subjecting previously generated steps to criticism.

This mode is similar to Auto-GPT - it can be used to create more advanced inferences and to solve problems by breaking them down into subtasks that the model will autonomously perform one after another until the goal is achieved. The plugin is capable of working in cooperation with other plugins, thus it can utilize tools such as web search, access to the file system, or image generation using DALL-E.

You can adjust the number of iterations for the self-conversation in the Plugins / Settings... menu under the following option:

• Iterations iterations

Default: 3

WARNING: Setting this option to 0 activates an infinity loop which can generate a large number of requests and cause very high token consumption, so use this option with caution!

• Prompts prompts

Editable list of prompts used to instruct how to handle autonomous mode, you can create as many prompts as you want. First active prompt on list will be used to handle autonomous mode.

• Auto-stop after goal is reached auto_stop

If enabled, plugin will stop after goal is reached." Default: True

• Reverse roles between iterations reverse_roles

Only for Completion/Langchain modes. If enabled, this option reverses the roles (AI <> user) with each iteration. For example, if in the previous iteration the response was generated for "Batman," the next iteration will use that response to generate an input for "Joker." Default: True

Chat with files (Llama-index, inline)

Plugin integrates Llama-index storage in any chat and provides additional knowledge into context.

• Ask Llama-index first ask_llama_first

When enabled, then Llama-index will be asked first, and response will be used as additional knowledge in prompt. When disabled, then Llama-index will be asked only when needed.

• Model model_query

Model used for querying Llama-index, default: gpt-3.5-turbo

• Indexes IDs idx

Indexes to use, default: base, if you want to use multiple indexes at once then separate them by comma.

Command: API calls

PyGPT lets you connect the model to the external services using custom defined API calls.

To activate this feature, turn on the Command: API calls plugin found in the Plugins menu.

In this plugin you can provide list of allowed API calls, their parameters and request types. The model will replace provided placeholders with required params and make API call to external service.

• Your custom API calls cmds

You can provide custom API calls on the list here.

Params to specify for API call:

• Enabled (True / False)
• Name: unique API call name (ID)
• Instruction: description for model when and how to use this API call
• GET params: list, separated by comma, GET params to append to endpoint URL
• POST params: list, separated by comma, POST params to send in POST request
• POST JSON: provide the JSON object, template to send in POST JSON request, use %param% as POST param placeholders
• Headers: provide the JSON object with dictionary of extra request headers, like Authorization, API keys, etc.
• Request type: use GET for basic GET request, POST to send encoded POST params or POST_JSON to send JSON-encoded object as body
• Endpoint: API endpoint URL, use {param} as GET param placeholders

An example API call is provided with plugin by default, it calls the Wikipedia API:

• Name: search_wiki
• Instructiom: send API call to Wikipedia to search pages by query
• GET params: query, limit
• Type: GET
• API endpoint: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&limit={limit}&format=json&search={query}

In the above example, every time you ask the model for query Wiki for provided query (e.g. Call the Wikipedia API for query: Nikola Tesla) it will replace placeholders in provided API endpoint URL with a generated query and it will call prepared API endpoint URL, like below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&limit=5&format=json&search=Nikola%20Tesla

You can specify type of request: GET, POST and POST JSON.

In the POST request you can provide POST params, they will be encoded and send as POST data.

In the POST JSON request you must provide JSON object template to be send, using %param% placeholders in the JSON object to be replaced with the model.

You can also provide any required credentials, like Authorization headers, API keys, tokens, etc. using the headers field - you can provide a JSON object here with a dictionary key => value - provided JSON object will be converted to headers dictonary and send with the request.

• Disable SSL verify disable_ssl

Disables SSL verification when making requests

• Timeout timeout

Connection timeout (seconds)

• User agent user_agent

User agent to use when making requests, default: Mozilla/5.0

Command: Code Interpreter

Executing Code

The plugin operates similarly to the Code Interpreter in ChatGPT, with the key difference that it works locally on the user's system. It allows for the execution of any Python code on the computer that the model may generate. When combined with the Command: Files I/O plugin, it facilitates running code from files saved in the data directory. You can also prepare your own code files and enable the model to use them or add your own plugin for this purpose. You can execute commands and code on the host machine or in Docker container.

Executing system commands

Another feature is the ability to execute system commands and return their results. With this functionality, the plugin can run any system command, retrieve the output, and then feed the result back to the model. When used with other features, this provides extensive integration capabilities with the system.

Tip: always remember to enable the Execute commands option to allow execute commands from the plugins.

Options:

• Python command template python_cmd_tpl

Python command template (use {filename} as path to file placeholder). Default: python3 {filename}

• Enable: Python Code Generate and Execute cmd_code_execute

Allows Python code execution (generate and execute from file). Default: True

• Enable: Python Code Execute (File) cmd_code_execute_file

Allows Python code execution from existing file. Default: True

• Enable: System Command Execute cmd_sys_exec

Allows system commands execution. Default: True

• Sandbox (docker container) sandbox_docker

Execute commands in sandbox (docker container). Docker must be installed and running. Default: False

• Docker image sandbox_docker_image

Docker image to use for sandbox Default: python:3.8-alpine

• Auto-append CWD to sys_exec auto_cwd

Automatically append current working directory to sys_exec command. Default: True

Command: Custom Commands

With the Custom Commands plugin, you can integrate PyGPT with your operating system and scripts or applications. You can define an unlimited number of custom commands and instruct GPT on when and how to execute them. Configuration is straightforward, and PyGPT includes a simple tutorial command for testing and learning how it works:

To add a new custom command, click the ADD button and then:

1. Provide a name for your command: this is a unique identifier for GPT.
2. Provide an instruction explaining what this command does; GPT will know when to use the command based on this instruction.
3. Define params, separated by commas - GPT will send data to your commands using these params. These params will be placed into placeholders you have defined in the cmd field. For example:

If you want instruct GPT to execute your Python script named smart_home_lights.py with an argument, such as 1 to turn the light ON, and 0 to turn it OFF, define it as follows:

• name: lights_cmd
• instruction: turn lights on/off; use 1 as 'arg' to turn ON, or 0 as 'arg' to turn OFF
• params: arg
• cmd: python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py {arg}

The setup defined above will work as follows:

When you ask GPT to turn your lights ON, GPT will locate this command and prepare the command python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py {arg} with {arg} replaced with 1. On your system, it will execute the command:

python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py 1

And that's all. GPT will take care of the rest when you ask to turn ON the lights.

You can define as many placeholders and parameters as you desire.

Here are some predefined system placeholders for use:

• {_time} - current time in H:M:S format
• {_date} - current date in Y-m-d format
• {_datetime} - current date and time in Y-m-d H:M:S format
• {_file} - path to the file from which the command is invoked
• {_home} - path to PyGPT's home/working directory

You can connect predefined placeholders with your own params.

Example:

• name: song_cmd
• instruction: store the generated song on hard disk
• params: song_text, title
• cmd: echo "{song_text}" > {_home}/{title}.txt

With the setup above, every time you ask GPT to generate a song for you and save it to the disk, it will:

1. Generate a song.
2. Locate your command.
3. Execute the command by sending the song's title and text.
4. The command will save the song text into a file named with the song's title in the PyGPT working directory.

Example tutorial command

PyGPT provides simple tutorial command to show how it works, to run it just ask GPT for execute tutorial test command and it will show you how it works:

> please execute tutorial test command

Command: Files I/O

The plugin allows for file management within the local filesystem. It enables the model to create, read, and write files and directories located in the data directory, which can be found in the user's work directory.

DALL-E 3: Image Generation (inline)

The plugin integrates DALL-E 3 image generation with any chat mode. Simply enable it and request an image in Chat mode, using a standard model such as GPT-4. The plugin does not require the Execute commands option to be enabled.

Options

• Prompt prompt

The prompt is used to generate a query for the DALL-E image generation model, which runs in the background.

GPT-4 Vision (inline)

The plugin integrates vision capabilities across all chat modes, not just Vision mode. Once enabled, it allows the model to seamlessly switch to vision processing in the background whenever an image attachment or vision capture is detected.

Tip: When using Vision (inline) by utilizing a plugin in standard mode, such as Chat (not Vision mode), the + Vision special checkbox will appear at the bottom of the Chat window. It will be automatically enabled any time you provide content for analysis (like an uploaded photo). When the checkbox is enabled, the vision model is used. If you wish to exit the vision model after image analysis, simply uncheck the checkbox. It will activate again automatically when the next image content for analysis is provided.

Options

• Model model

The model used to temporarily provide vision capabilities; default is gpt-4-vision-preview.

• Prompt prompt

The prompt used for vision mode. It will append or replace current system prompt when using vision model.

• Replace prompt replace_prompt

Replace whole system prompt with vision prompt against appending it to the current prompt.

• Enable: "camera capture" command cmd_capture

Allows using command: camera capture (Execute commands option enabled is required). If enabled, model will be able to capture images from camera itself.

• Enable: "make screenshot" command cmd_screenshot

Allows using command: make screenshot (Execute commands option enabled is required). If enabled, model will be able to making screenshots itself.

Real Time

This plugin automatically adds the current date and time to each system prompt you send. You have the option to include just the date, just the time, or both.

When enabled, it quietly enhances each system prompt with current time information before sending it to GPT.

Options

• Append time hour

If enabled, it appends the current time to the system prompt. Default: True

• Append date date

If enabled, it appends the current date to the system prompt. Default: True

• Template tpl

Template to append to the system prompt. The placeholder {time} will be replaced with the current date and time in real-time. Default: Current time is {time}.

System Prompt Extra (append)

The plugin appends additional system prompts (extra data) from a list to every current system prompt. You can enhance every system prompt with extra instructions that will be automatically appended to the system prompt.

Options

• Prompts prompts

List of extra prompts - prompts that will be appended to system prompt. All active extra prompts defined on list will be appended to the system prompt in the order they are listed here.

Creating Your Own Plugins

You can create your own plugin for PyGPT at any time. The plugin can be written in Python and then registered with the application just before launching it. All plugins included with the app are stored in the plugin directory - you can use them as coding examples for your own plugins.

PyGPT can be extended with:

• Custom plugins

• Custom LLMs wrappers

• Custom vector store providers

• Custom data loaders

• Custom audio input providers

• Custom audio output providers

• Custom web search engine providers

Examples (tutorial files)

See the examples directory in this repository with examples of custom launcher, plugin, vector store, LLM (Langchain and Llama-index) provider and data loader:

• examples/custom_launcher.py

• examples/example_audio_input.py

• examples/example_audio_output.py

• examples/example_data_loader.py

• examples/example_llm.py

• examples/example_plugin.py

• examples/example_vector_store.py

• examples/example_web_search.py

These example files can be used as a starting point for creating your own extensions for PyGPT.

Extending PyGPT with custom plugins, LLMs wrappers and vector stores:

• You can pass custom plugin instances, LLMs wrappers and vector store providers to the launcher.

• This is useful if you want to extend PyGPT with your own plugins, vectors storage and LLMs.

To register custom plugins:

• Pass a list with the plugin instances as plugins keyword argument.

To register custom LLMs wrappers:

• Pass a list with the LLMs wrappers instances as llms keyword argument.

To register custom vector store providers:

• Pass a list with the vector store provider instances as vector_stores keyword argument.

To register custom data loaders:

• Pass a list with the data loader instances as loaders keyword argument.

To register custom audio input providers:

• Pass a list with the audio input provider instances as audio_input keyword argument.

To register custom audio output providers:

• Pass a list with the audio output provider instances as audio_output keyword argument.

To register custom web providers:

• Pass a list with the web provider instances as web keyword argument.

Example:

# custom_launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM
from vector_stores import CustomVectorStore

plugins = [
    CustomPlugin(),
    OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = [
    CustomVectorStore(),
]

run(
    plugins=plugins,
    llms=llms,
    vector_stores=vector_stores
)

Handling events

In the plugin, you can receive and modify dispatched events. To do this, create a method named handle(self, event, *args, **kwargs) and handle the received events like here:

# custom_plugin.py

from pygpt_net.core.dispatcher import Event


def handle(self, event: Event, *args, **kwargs):
    """
    Handle dispatched events

    :param event: event object
    """
    name = event.name
    data = event.data
    ctx = event.ctx

    if name == Event.INPUT_BEFORE:
        self.some_method(data['value'])
    elif name == Event.CTX_BEGIN:
        self.some_other_method(ctx)
    else:
    	# ...

List of Events

event.stop = True

Functions and commands execute

Tip: gpt-4-1106-preview is the best model to use for command handling, The gpt-4-turbo-preview model can sometimes refuse to execute commands.

PyGPT uses an internal syntax to define commands and their parameters, which can then be used by the model and executed on the application side or even directly in the system. This syntax looks as follows (example command below):

~###~{"cmd": "send_email", "params": {"quote": "Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts!"}}~###~

It is JSON wrapped between ~###~. The application extracts the JSON object from such formatted text and executes the appropriate function based on the provided parameters and command name. Many of these types of commands are defined in plugins (e.g., those used for file operations or internet searches). You can also define your own commands using the Custom Commands plugin, or simply by creating your own plugin and adding it to the application.

Tip: The Execute commands option checkbox must be enabled to allow the execution of commands from plugins. Disable the option if you do not want to use commands, to prevent additional token usage (as the command execution system prompt consumes additional tokens).

A special system prompt responsible for invoking commands is added to the main system prompt if the Execute commands option is active.

However, there is an additional possibility to define your own commands and execute them with the help of GPT. These are functions - defined on the OpenAI API side and described using JSON objects. You can find a complete guide on how to define functions here:

https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling

https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/how_to_call_functions_with_chat_models

From version 2.0.150, PyGPT offers compatibility of these functions with commands used in the application. All you need to do is define the appropriate functions using the syntax required by OpenAI, and PyGPT will do the rest, translating such syntax on the fly into its own internal format.

You can define functions for modes: Chat and Assistants. Note that - in Chat mode, they should be defined in Presets, and for Assistants, in the Assistant settings.

Example of usage:

1. Chat

Create a new Preset, open the Preset edit dialog and add a new function using + Function button with the following content:

Name: send_email

Description: Sends a quote using email

Params (JSON):

{
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "quote": {
                "type": "string",
                "description": "A generated funny quote"
            }
        },
        "required": [
            "quote"
        ]
}

Then, in the Custom Commands plugin, create a new command with the same name and the same parameters:

Command name: send_email

Instruction/prompt: send mail (don't needed, because it will be called on OpenAI side)

Params list: quote

Command to execute: echo "OK. Email sent: {quote}"

At next, enable the Execute commands option and enable the plugin.

Ask GPT in Chat mode:

Create a funny quote and email it

In response you will receive prepared command, like this:

~###~{"cmd": "send_email", "params": {"quote": "Why do we tell actors to 'break a leg?' Because every play has a cast!"}}~###~

After receiving this, PyGPT will execute the system echo command with params given from params field and replacing {quote} placeholder with quote param value.

As a result, response like this will be sent to the model:

[{"request": {"cmd": "send_email"}, "result": "OK. Email sent: Why do we tell actors to 'break a leg?' Because every play has a cast!"}]

2. Assistant

In this mode (via Assistants API), it should be done similarly, with the difference that here the functions should be defined in the assistant's settings.

With this flow you can use both forms - OpenAI and PyGPT - to define and execute commands and functions in the application. They will cooperate with each other and you can use them interchangeably.

Token usage calculation

Input tokens

The application features a token calculator. It attempts to forecast the number of tokens that a particular query will consume and displays this estimate in real time. This gives you improved control over your token usage. The app provides detailed information about the tokens used for the user's prompt, the system prompt, any additional data, and those used within the context (the memory of previous entries).

Remember that these are only approximate calculations and do not include, for example, the number of tokens consumed by some plugins. You can find the exact number of tokens used on the OpenAI website.

Total tokens

After receiving a response from the model, the application displays the actual total number of tokens used for the query (received from the API).

Translations / Locale

Locale .ini files are located in the app directory:

./data/locale

This directory is automatically scanned when the application launches. To add a new translation, create and save the file with the appropriate name, for example:

locale.es.ini   

This will add Spanish as a selectable language in the application's language menu.

Overwriting CSS and locales with your own files:

You can also overwrite files in the locale and css app directories with your own files in the user directory. This allows you to overwrite language files or CSS styles in a very simple way - by just creating files in your working directory.

{HOME_DIR}/.config/pygpt-net/

• locale - a directory for locales in .ini format.
• css - a directory for CSS styles in .css format.

Debugging and Logging

In Settings -> Developer dialog, you can enable the Show debug menu option to turn on the debugging menu. The menu allows you to inspect the status of application elements. In the debugging menu, there is a Logger option that opens a log window. In the window, the program's operation is displayed in real-time.

Logging levels:

By default, all errors and exceptions are logged to the file:

{HOME_DIR}/.config/pygpt-net/app.log

To increase the logging level (ERROR level is default), run the application with --debug argument:

python3 run.py --debug=1

or

python3 run.py --debug=2

The value 1 enables the INFOlogging level.

The value 2 enables the DEBUG logging level (most information).
