Shameless plug: I just don't like closed-source software; here is my attempt at re-implementing ChatGPT's UI as a desktop app with the ChatGPT API, and it is open source: https://github.com/chatgptui/desktop I've implemented most of features of ChatGPT, text-to-speech via Azure, and keyboard shortcuts such as tab/shift+tab. Edit: However, as typingmind is earning more than $1000, it should have more features and bett…

Another one I made. https://github.com/Loeffeldude/my-chat-gpt

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 ;)

Haha I felt better after reading this thread. I mean it was a fun weekend project!

> I was annoyed by the default OpenAI ChatGPT slow-typing animation I’d assumed ChatGPT’s slow-typing was actually the model’s real-time output, streamed to the browser token-by-token. When I’ve made GPT3 API calls it’s worked like this, with streaming switched off I might need to wait ~20 seconds for a long response back. I just tried your UI, and it’s so much faster ! Was my assumption about real-time output wrong?…

Yep, I was surprised I about the response time too. I'm not sure what's going on under the hood, maybe OpenAI did something with the stream output that causes the slowness.

It uses a different model. ChatGPT Plus is fast too.

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…

It's a static web app, you can host it yourself 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.

Moving on...

Very neat. I am already using it. One feature I would love is passing a prompt (or even a conversation) using queryparams. It would help for the integration with other tools. Another feature I'd love is to exploit the 'system' agent. From the documentation, there are three possible agents : User, Assistant and System. My understanding is that system can be exploited to drive the expected general behavior of the assis…

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
