Can anyone recommend a UI clone as close to the regular ChatGPT as possible, but built on the API? The API traffic is sent directly into Azure while the regular UI is sent via CloudFlare. Vastly prefer the former reading my conversations than the latter

Why?

It has the one most important feature ChatGPT is missing: add to homescreen/install. Not sure why they haven't added it yet. Thank you for making this!

You can add to home screen. Was there any problem when you try to add the app to homescreen?

Oh yes with this one (yours) you can! I was referring to the official ChatGPT web app.

Ohh man I wanted to publish my own electron app today :( It's basically doing the same thing. I found that using API keys is also significantly cheaper than using the subscription with moderate usage. Congrats on the release.

Don't worry there are only about 10,000 people working on similar apps right now ;)

I whipped up a quick cli script myself haha

All of these UIs when there's a perfectly good command line right there! The CLI is always the best way for text.

I'm also building a personal ChatGPT client for a similar reason as the OP, which is to address the issues of buggy and slow UX, among others. As you mentioned, many people are currently working on projects using ChatGPT API. In fact, in the past 24 hours, around 12 new apps that have been showcased on OpenAI Discord channel alone. Some of these apps are open source, which makes them a great source of learning and in…

I was annoyed by the default OpenAI ChatGPT slow-typing animation and logging me out every day, so I built a new UI client on top of its API. It's a static web app, you can host it yourself, data is stored locally on your browser, API requests are made directly to OpenAI API without any middle server. It has some more convenient features that make your that experience way better. Like search chat history, prompt libr…

Note for anybody else wondering, it's not open source, you have to download a binary. More FAQ by clicking the Gift (?) icon at the top and scrolling down.

yep CLI is the way

Nice, I'm curious though, does the API also remember context from earlier conversations or can it be made to?

I don't believe so, but that's not something I wanted/needed for this one. It's just for one off things for me.

Something like

> ai give me an index match formula to link between sheets New and Current

Then I'll tweak the output as needed to match reality. Context would probably get in the way more than it helps in this use case.

Don't expect perfection from an AI assistant, just expect it to be a little faster than tabbing to a browser or figuring it out yourself.

I’m working on the same thing, but open source! https://github.com/kierangilliam/chatwithme.chat Available at: https://www.chatwithme.chat/

The "How you can verify this." doesn't seem to work. Clicking on it changes the title of the page to "undefined".
