Adding Personality to ChatGPT-3
Blog post from Convex
Ian Macartney discusses enhancing a ChatGPT-powered application by integrating multiple personalities using OpenAI's APIs and the Convex backend platform. The approach allows users to store various identities in the database and switch between them mid-conversation, which is achieved by sending a "system" message with identity-specific instructions to the OpenAI API. The process involves creating and listing identities using Convex's query and mutation functions, ensuring no duplicate identities exist due to Convex's serializable transaction isolation. The user interface allows users to add new identities and select one during chats, with the application dynamically displaying the identity name instead of a generic "assistant" label. Messages are processed server-side to ensure privacy and control over the information returned to clients, differing from direct-access database platforms like Firebase. The integration exemplifies how Convex supports scalable AI projects with seamless components like cloud functions and real-time updates, enabling flexible and personalized interactions with ChatGPT.
