ChatGPT became the fastest-growing app of all time, beating other behemoths like Spotify, Instagram, and even TikTok.
That’s why I thought, wouldn’t it be fun to build my own ChatGPT clone? To do this, we essentially need three things:
- First, we need the API keys from OpenAI. These keys will grant us access to all the different GPT models, which essentially perform all the magic behind ChatGPT.
- Then, we have to build a chat interface that will allow users to converse with the AI.
- Lastly, we will need a database to store all the conversations.
I’ve decided to use a Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL stack to rapidly build the app.
And after a few weeks of research and tinkering, I was finally able to create a working prototype:
We can ask it questions, and it will respond just like ChatGPT.
We can also revisit all of our previous conversations.
Though there is still much to fine-tune to make it feel like the real ChatGPT website, but that’s a problem for another day!
This is just a promising first step, as I am trying to create an AI assistant for lenders and financial analysts.
