Title: Provide feedback on the template created for chat-gpt tutorial

Deadline: Apr 14

Priority: Medium

Description: The objective of this task is to provide a detailed and well-constructed feedback on the template developed for the ChatGPT tutorial available at the GitHub repository https://github.com/moritzfelipe/nextjs-openai-boilerplate.

The feedback should be thorough, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of the template, and should be aimed at providing insights and suggestions for improvement. The feedback should be clear, concise, and well-organized, and should cover all aspects of the template, including its design, functionality, usability, and overall effectiveness.

The ultimate goal of this task is to help the developer of the template to make necessary changes and improvements, and to ensure that the tutorial is as informative and helpful as possible for its intended audience.

Feedback for NextJS OpenAI Boilerplate

Thank you for sharing the codebase for the NextJS OpenAI Boilerplate. Here are some feedback and suggestions for improvement:

pages/api/openai.js

• It would be helpful to add comments to explain the purpose of each section of the code.
• The error messages returned by the API could be more informative. For example, instead of "An error occurred during your request", it could provide more details about the error, such as the error message returned by the OpenAI API.

pages/index.js

• The useApi hook is a good way to handle API requests. However, it would be helpful to add some error handling for cases where the API request fails.
• The ResponseDisplay component could be improved by adding some styling to make it more visually appealing.

components/ResponseDisplay.js

• It would be helpful to add some styling to make the component more visually appealing.

components/SubmitButton.js

• It would be helpful to add some styling to make the button more visually appealing.

components/TextInput.js

• It would be helpful to add some styling to make the input field more visually appealing.

hooks/useApi.js

• It would be helpful to add some error handling for cases where the API request fails.

Overall, the codebase is well-organized and easy to read. However, there is room for improvement in terms of error handling and visual design. Adding comments to explain the purpose of each section of the code would also be helpful.

Overall, the codebase is well-organized and easy to follow. The comments and variable names make it easy to understand what each part of the code is doing. However, there are a few areas where the codebase could be improved:

• pages/_app.js There is not much to comment on here as it is a simple file that imports the global styles and renders the page components.

• pages/_document.js Similarly, there is not much to comment on here as this file only sets up the basic structure of the HTML document.

• pages/api/openai.js The file is well-organized and the code is easy to follow. The OpenAI API key is correctly set up and the error handling is good. One potential issue is that the model parameter is hardcoded as "gpt-3.5-turbo" in the createChatCompletion call. This could be made into an environment variable or an argument to the API call so that the model can be easily changed if needed.

• pages/index.js The Home component is well-organized and easy to follow. The code uses hooks to manage state and makes use of reusable components such as TextInput, SubmitButton, and ResponseDisplay. One potential issue is that there is no validation of the input text. The current implementation only checks if the text is empty, but there could be other cases where the input is invalid. For example, the input could be too long or contain invalid characters. Adding some input validation could improve the user experience. Another potential issue is that the API call is made every time the user submits input, even if the input has not changed. This could cause unnecessary API calls and slow down the application. A possible improvement would be to check if the input has changed before making the API call. And also it would be great to set inputValue to empty string after submit.

  const handleSubmit = () => {
  // check for empty string
  if (inputValue === "") return;
  setSubmitValue(inputValue);
  setUserMessages([...userMessages, inputValue]);
  
  if (data?.result) {
    setAssistantMessages([...assistantMessages, data.result]);
  }
  // setting to empty string
  setInputValue("")
  };

• components/ResponseDisplay.js The ResponseDisplay component is well-organized and easy to follow. It handles three different states (loading, error, and data) and displays the appropriate message based on the state.

Do

• More comments for all things important (Also model temperature) (DONE)
• Maybe error handling if it doesn't get too complex
• Add a form for input (DONE)
• Add to the documentation that users should make adjustments that we left out to make it as lean as possible. A special section in the readme about the model with a short explanation. (DONE)
• Add to the documentation how to use the script and examples of prompts that you can use with it. (Later)

Keep in mind: If the code gets too long that it can't be pasted anymore into chatGPT, split it up into two files.
