What is ChatGPT API?
API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API provides an interface to communicate with the resource/backend. Likewise, OpenAI had also created an API for developers to access this language model. The API is not totally free, OpenAI gives 5$ credit on signup which is more than enough for this project. We need to get an API key to proceed. Follow the below steps to continue!
How to Create a ChatBot Application using ChatGPT API in Flutter?
A ChatBot is a computer program that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand customers’ questions and give responses to them simulating human behavior. Building our own ChatBot from scratch requires us to train the Machine Learning (ML) model with rigorous amounts of text-based data, providing it with different contexts of real-world conversations. Now we don’t need to perform that meticulous task, as OpenAI already developed ChatGPT which was trained on billions of words of textual data which made it very powerful.
In this article, we will explain the total process of building a Mobile ChatBot Application using ChatGPT API and Flutter. We will be using Flutter Framework to build the application for Android. Flutter is an open-source framework developed and supported by Google to build and deploy hybrid applications quickly.
A sample video is given below to get an idea about what we are going to do in this article.
