Ohh man I wanted to publish my own electron app today :( It's basically doing the same thing. I found that using API keys is also significantly cheaper than using the subscription with moderate usage. Congrats on the release.

Don't worry there are only about 10,000 people working on similar apps right now ;)

  I'm also building a personal ChatGPT client for a similar reason as the OP, which is to address the issues of buggy and slow UX, among others. As you mentioned, many people are currently working on projects using ChatGPT API. In fact, in the past 24 hours, around 12 new apps that have been showcased on OpenAI Discord channel alone. Some of these apps are open source, which makes them a great source of learning and inspiration for me.

  I whipped up a quick cli script myself haha https://gist.github.com/cohan/7d2abfa56b2dfdaae98bf70e84c62218 https://gist.github.com/cohan/7d2abfa56b2dfdaae98bf70e84c622... All of these UIs when there's a perfectly good command line right there! The CLI is always the best way for text. > ai what is that song with moms spaghetti "Lose Yourself" by Eminem Sorted.

    yep CLI is the way different flavours: 'fix' acts as `thefuck` replacement in 30 lines of python

    Nice, I'm curious though, does the API also remember context from earlier conversations or can it be made to?

      I don't believe so, but that's not something I wanted/needed for this one. It's just for one off things for me. Something like > ai give me an index match formula to link between sheets New and Current Then I'll tweak the output as needed to match reality. Context would probably get in the way more than it helps in this use case. Don't expect perfection from an AI assistant, just expect it to be a little faster than tabbing to a browser or figuring it out yourself.

    CLI is a UI, too.

      I know mate, haha. I imagine someone can do much better than I did in a few minutes, but yeah use the UI that already exists instead of sprinkling electron on something text based. If anyone fancies a tinker I imagine future editions of a CLI AI having a --context to include former prompts*, --stfu|--concise to make it respond concisely (as I was originally just responding "I know mate, haha" I also need this flag adding), probably a --model= to override that bit too, maybe even a --preamble=./prompt.txt ... it definitely needs a --json flag to prompt and enforce "I only want json and I'll parse it out of the response myself if I need to" * Not just keeping a buffer and re-sending it, I believe context asks GPT to summarise the conversation so far and then uses the output of that for context memory. It'd need some tinkering. I'll get round to it myself eventually, for now being able to ask little things like "is it defence or defense" and "what company owns the coco pops brand" is doing me just fine I did realise I can now potentially pipe things into and out of GPT too, but have yet to come up with a use other than outputting through TTS e.g. > ./ai is it defence or defense | festival --tts

  Haha I felt better after reading this thread. I mean it was a fun weekend project!
