Building a Chatbot using OpenAI and FastAPI

in

Nowadays, all it takes is a few clicks on your computer or phone, and voila! You can have your very own personal assistant booking your trips for you. And that’s where chatbots come in they’re the perfect solution for those who want convenience without sacrificing quality service.

So how do we build one of these magical creatures? Well, first things first: we need to choose our tools. For this tutorial, we’ll be using OpenAI and FastAPI (because why not have some fun with it).

OpenAI is a powerful AI platform that allows us to create custom models for various tasks such as text generation, image recognition, and more. And FastAPI is a fast (duh) and elegant framework for building APIs in Python. Together, they make the perfect pairing for creating chatbots that can handle all sorts of requests from users.

Now let’s get started! First, we need to create our OpenAI model. This involves training it on a dataset of text data (in this case, flight information) and then fine-tuning it to better understand the nuances of language. Once that’s done, we can use FastAPI to build an API around it that allows us to interact with the chatbot in real time.

Here’s what our code might look like:

# Importing necessary libraries
from fastapi import FastAPI # Importing FastAPI library for building API
import openai # Importing OpenAI library for chatbot functionality

# Creating an instance of FastAPI
app = FastAPI()

# Defining a route for the root endpoint
@app.get("/")
async def read_root():
    return {"Hello": "World"} # Returning a simple "Hello World" message

# Defining a route for the chatbot endpoint
@app.post("/chatbot")
async def chat(message: str): # Defining a function with a parameter for user input
    response = await openai.Completion.create(engine="text-davinci", prompt=f"Generate according to: {message}", max_tokens=1024) # Using OpenAI to generate a response based on user input
    return {"assistant": response["choices"][0]["text"]} # Returning the generated response from the chatbot as a dictionary with the key "assistant"

In this example, we’re using FastAPI to create a simple API that allows us to send messages to the chatbot and receive responses. The `chat()` function uses OpenAI’s Completion API to generate a response based on the user’s input (which is passed in as an argument). And that’s it! With just a few lines of code, we can create a powerful chatbot that can handle all sorts of requests from users.

Of course, there are plenty of other tools and frameworks out there for building chatbots but OpenAI and FastAPI make the perfect pairing for those who want to build something truly unique and customized. So why not give it a try? Who knows what kind of magical creations you might come up with!
