WhatsApp-OpenAI Connection
Hi everyone, this is repository for my personal demo project on connecting Twilio and OpenAI to provide answers to all the users questions using OpenAI GPT-3. This is written in Python and served with Flask. This bot can only handle:
- text messgaes
Youtube
I have recorded a quick video on the setup of this chat-bot, in case you want to replicate the work, you can watch it here.
What you will need
There are couple of things that you need before you get started following this repository.
- OpenAI API key, since it is open to all, you can create an account here and access the key.
- You need a Twilio project, you can get
Account SIDandAuth Tokenfor that project, we will need this to make requests. You can get it from here. - API requesting application like Postman, Insomnia, etc.
- NGROK for local testing.
How to use it
To replicate the work of this repository and run it locally, you need to follow these steps:
- create a
.envfile inside the root directory, create these environmental variables:TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=YOUR ACCOUNT SID TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=YOUR AUTH TOKEN OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR OPENAI API KEY FROM=whatsapp:+14155238886This FROM variable in the .env file is same for the Twilio WhatsApp Sandbox.
- create a virtual environment and activate it before installing the packages
- install all the required dependencies from the
requirements.txtfilepip install -r requirements.txt - run the server with either of the following commands
python run.pygunicorn run:app - start NGROK engine on the same port as the python application is running.
