The only thing I'd suggest to consider to add is some sort of authentication. If I deploy this on a server so I could reach it with my mobile, on the go, and it has my API credentials, I wouldn't want anyone who stumbles upon the page to be able to interface ChatGPT on my expense.

Otherwise, it really looks good.

Your API key and chat history are stored in browser local storage only.

Well, I'd love to see a change there as well, then: if I'd want to share the interface with my family I wouldn't want to reenter everything everywhere they might be accessing the page from.

I added whisper to that (was merged) so you can talk to it as well.

In official UI the chat history is like a tree. If you edit a message, it branches off the conversation from that point. You can always go back to any message in the tree and see the conversation from there on. Can you do that in your UI? No UI has done that so far.

I am not the author , just a contributor, but it would not be very hard to add.

Normal/average talking is ~150 WPM. Average typing speed is about 60-70. Is a 150+WPM a requirement to become anonzzies' friend?

The only person that could type as fast as I can speak and whom I met in real life was an immigration officer taking my naturalization interview. The sound of a keyboard going: trrr-trrr! And he was amazingly accurate too: all unnecessary things that I said for conversation sake were there, and exactly as I said them. But I think my wife would beat him easily though…

It's pretty bad to ask people to enter e private secret key in a web site (any, I mean)

I answer back to myself: I miss-understood since the idea of the developer is to run it locally http://localhost:3000 while I got scared from the DEMO

Congrats to the developer!

The advantage of course is your not tied to a keyboard / desk. So one could potentially be doing Internet research while hiking.

Yes, and that with smart glasses seems interesting.

you need maybe https://github.com/Chanzhaoyu/chatgpt-web or https://github.com/Yidadaa/ChatGPT-Next-Web

Given that Vocode (realtime audio, llm, etc) came out a few days ago, could you speak to how yours compares to it? https://github.com/vocodedev/vocode-python

So, is time, finally, to entertain spam callers with nice, polite, _long_ conversations? About my credit card numbers and passwords to my accounts? My personal record is 40 minutes - some nice guys were trying to install a remote controlled door on my MacBook and were thinking they were very close to success. There are existing services, like https://jollyrogertelephone.com/ - but they are not as good as me. Still, using myself to entertain the robocallers is fun, but expensive, it would be interesting to see if AI is ready to help here…

They provided an option to build it locally and run it yourself. But yeah, I wish there is a common proxy protocol that would allow website accessing private resources without exposing private keys

OpenAI should implement an oauth authorization server and allow developers to use "Login with OpenAI account" into their apps.

I agree, this is the best solution, I'm sick of countless projects with key input fields where I have to go to Ctrl/CV every time.
