GPT chatbot using OpenAI API

pyRobBot: Talk and Chat with GPT LLMs

An interface to OpenAI's GPT large language models (LLMs) that implements:

• A conventional chatbot that can be used either via web UI or terminal
• A personal assistant that can actually interact with you by voice

The package is written in Python. The web chatbot UI is made with Streamlit.

See and try the demo web app on Streamlit!

Features

• Text to speech and speech to text (rob voice)
  • Talk to the GPT assistant!
  • You can choose your preferred language (e.g., rob voice --lang pt-br)
• Web UI
  • Add/remove conversations dynamically
  • Automatic/editable conversation summary title
• Fully configurable
  • Support for multiple GPT LLMs
  • Control over the parameters passed to the OpenAI API, with (hopefully) sensible defaults
  • Ability to pass base directives to the LLM
    • E.g., to make it adopt a persona, but you decide which directived to pass
  • Dynamically modifiable AI parameters in each chat separately
    • No need to restart the chat
• Autosave & retrieve chat history
• Chat context handling using embeddings
• Estimated API token usage and associated costs
• OpenAI API key is never stored on disk

System Requirements

• Python >= 3.9
• A valid OpenAI API key
  • Set in the Web UI or through the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY
• Optionally, to enable voice chat, you also need:
  • PortAudio
    • Install on Ubuntu with sudo apt-get --assume-yes install portaudio19-dev python-all-dev
    • Install on CentOS/RHEL with sudo yum install portaudio portaudio-devel

Installation

This, naturally, assumes your systems fulfills all requirements.

Using pip

pip install pyrobbot

From source

pip install git+https://github.com/paulovcmedeiros/pyRobBot.git

Basic Usage

Upon succesfull installation, you should be able to run

rob [opts] SUBCOMMAND [subcommand_opts]

where [opts] and [subcommand_opts] denote optional command line arguments that apply, respectively, to rob in general and to SUBCOMMAND specifically.

Please run rob -h for information about the supported subcommands and general rob options. For info about specific subcommands and the options that apply to them only, please run rob SUBCOMMAND -h (note that the -h goes after the subcommand in this case).

Using the Web UI

Chatting by Voice

Running on the Terminal

Disclaimers

This project's main purpose is to serve as a learning exercise for me, as well as tool for experimenting with OpenAI API, GPT LLMs and text-to-voice/voice-to-text. It does not claim to be the best or more robust OpenAI-powered chatbot out there.

Having said this, this project does aim to provide a friendly user interface that is easy to use and configure. Feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request if you find a bug or have a suggestion.

Last but not least: this project is not affiliated with OpenAI in any way.
