CommandGPT

This project implements an interactive chatbot using OpenAI's GPT-3.5 model, providing a typing effect and a loading animation in the command-line interface.

Features

• Loading Animation: While waiting for the GPT-3.5 response, a dynamic loading animation is displayed to the user.
• Typing Effect: The bot's responses are printed one character at a time, simulating a typing effect.
• Conversation History: The conversation history is maintained and used in generating responses, allowing for consistent and context-aware interaction.
• Custom Instructions: Specific guidelines and instructions can be set to guide the model's responses.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenAI Python package
• dotenv package for environment variable handling

Installation

1. Clone the repository.

2. Install the required packages using the following command:

   pip install openai python-dotenv

3. Set up the OpenAI API key in a .env file in the project root directory with the following content:

   OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Usage

1. Run the Python script using the command:

   python your_script_name.py

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to interact with the chatbot.

Functions

• loading_animation(): Displays a dynamic loading animation.
• stop_loading_animation(): Stops the loading animation and clears it from the console.
• print_typing_effect(text, delay=0.005): Prints the given text to the console, one character at a time, with a specified delay.

Custom Instructions

The script allows custom instructions to be passed to the GPT-3.5 model, which can be modified in the custom_instruct variable.

Exiting the Program

The conversation can be ended by the user by initiating a keyboard interrupt (Ctrl+C).
