Building a Chatbot with the ChatGPT API, Twilio Programmable SMS and Python
Blog post from Twilio
This tutorial guides users in building an SMS chatbot using the ChatGPT API, Twilio Programmable SMS, and Python. It begins by introducing the user to ChatGPT, a highly advanced language model trained on large amounts of text, and its capabilities. The tutorial then provides step-by-step instructions for creating a virtual environment, installing necessary packages, configuring an OpenAI API key, and sending ChatGPT requests from Python. Additionally, it covers setting up Twilio Programmable SMS messaging, configuring a webhook URL, and integrating the two to create a complete chatbot project. The final application uses Flask to send messages received from users to the `askgpt()` function created earlier, maintaining the log of the chat in the session variable from Flask.
