> Run locally on browser – no need to install any applications That's not what "run locally" means. This isn't any more "local" than talking to chatgpt directly, which is never running locally.

Hey, run locally in this case means: YakGPT has no backend. Whether you use the react app through https://yakgpt.vercel.app/ or run it on your own machine, I store none of your data. I will try and make this wording clearer!

In that case you're basically offering a browser-based client. 'Locally' strongly suggests this is running entirely on the machine (vs. making API calls). Going to break a lot of hearts out there with the wording as it is.

Nice. It took about a minute to clone it, run it, enter my API key, and get started. The speech-to-text worked flawlessly. Most people can talk faster than they can type, but they can read faster than other people can talk. So an interface where I speak but read the response is an ideal way of interfacing with ChatGPT. What would be nice is if I didn't have to press the mic button to speak -- if it could just tell wh…

> Most people can talk faster than they can type Most people I know type faster than they can talk. Also more accurate. I find talking a horrible interface to a computer while sitting down. On the move it is another story entirely of course. By the way, chatgpt is not very fast either, so usually I type something in the chat and continue working while it generates the response. > smart glasses I just tried that; it w…

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

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

This is fast. And talking to it is a nice touch. Consider adding text to speech too :) One feature I am missing from all these front ends is the ability to edit your text and generate new response from that point. Official chat gpt UI is the only one that seems to do that.

Chat-with-gpt has that, we use it in our org as an alternative chatgpt Interface: https://github.com/cogentapps/chat-with-gpt

In official UI, if you edit a message and get a new response, you can still always go back to any of your previous messages and continue from there on. Basically the history is like a tree in official UI. History in all other frontends including this one is linear.

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've never seen this one before. It has several features I've been looking for. Has it been working well for your organization?

It has, especially since we don't want to go through the accounting nightmare of buying everyone ChatGPT+ accounts, so just inviting everyone to the OpenAI org and giving out API keys to be used in tools like this one has been good.
