How to build a GPT-3 App with Nextjs, React, and GitHub Copilot

A developer shares her journey of creating an application that automatically generates nutritional information for recipes using OpenAI's GPT-3.5-turbo model and GitHub Copilot. Having resisted traditional meal tracking, she leveraged her skills to build a tool that parses natural language inputs to provide detailed nutrition facts. The blog outlines a step-by-step guide on using various technologies such as Next.js, React, Material UI, and Express.js to develop the app, highlighting the role of GitHub Copilot in enhancing productivity through its use of Large Language Models. The process includes setting up a server, configuring API keys, employing CORS middleware, and developing a functional front end with Material UI styling. The app's functionality is demonstrated by successfully returning nutritional data for a given recipe, and the developer encourages readers to explore and modify the open-source code available on GitHub.
