Integrating CustomGPT.ai with OCaml: A Practical Example

In this example, we’ll show you how to delete a source for a given project using OCaml, using the pre-built example provided in the CustomGPT.ai RAG API documentation. In one of our previous blogs, we created a project source making POST HTTP requests with Java. Now by utilizing OCaml’s code and CustomGPT.ai’s RAG API, we’ll programmatically interact with the CustomGPT.ai platform to perform this operation using Delete HTTP reuest. Let’s explore the practical implementation of deleting a source from a project using OCaml.

Delete an agent source
  • This OCaml code snippet is used to send an HTTP DELETE request to the CustomGPT.ai RAG API endpoint for deleting a specific source associated with a project.
  • It starts by defining the URL for the RAG API endpoint, specifying the project ID and the ID of the source to be deleted. 
  • Then, it sets the header to indicate that the client expects a JSON response
  • Using the Cohttp library, it makes the DELETE request to the specified URI with the defined headers. 
  • After sending the request, it handles the response asynchronously, allowing further actions to be taken based on the response from the server.

Test and Run the Code in the CustomGPT.ai Browser

To test and run the code in the CustomGPT.ai browser, follow these steps:

  • Sign up for an account on the CustomGPT.ai platform if you haven’t already. Once signed up, obtain your RAG API key by clicking on your profile as shown below.

Delete an agent source
  • Retrieve the project ID and the source ID associated with the project from your chatbot project settings. These IDs are required to identify the specific project and source that you want to delete.
  • Now, paste the project ID and source ID as shown below.

  • Click on the “Try it” button to execute the code snippet.

  • The response  “200” indicates that the project source has been deleted from the CustomGPT.ai platform successfully.

Deleting a project source can be beneficial for various reasons, such as removing outdated or irrelevant data, reorganizing project resources, or maintaining data integrity. Similarly, you can perform various other operations using HTTP methods like POST, PUT, and GET with CustomGPT.ai and OCaml, allowing for flexible integration and management of chatbot projects.

Conclusion

In conclusion, integrating CustomGPT.ai with OCaml offers a powerful solution for incorporating advanced AI capabilities into applications. With OCaml’s flexibility and CustomGPT.ai’s robust RAG API support, developers can create chatbots with enhanced functionalities and tailor-made experiences. 

Stay tuned for our upcoming blog post on integrating CustomGPT.ai with JSON, where we’ll explore further possibilities for AI integration and application development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can OCaml use a RAG API even without an official SDK?

Yes. OCaml is not listed among the official SDKs, but the API is OpenAI-compatible at u0022/v1/chat/completions,u0022 so any OCaml HTTP client that can send JSON with an API key can use it. Sara Canaday said, u0022For the past year, I’ve been using CustomGPT.ai as a specialized AI-powered leadership resource for my VIP clients. One that draws directly from my years of experience, research, and proven leadership strategies. What drew me in? Its simplicity, reasonable cost, and constant feature updates.u0022 That matches the practical takeaway for OCaml teams: you can integrate over standard HTTPS without waiting for a language-specific package.

What is the quickest way to call the RAG chatbot API from OCaml?

The fastest approach is to send a standard HTTPS POST request with JSON to u0022/v1/chat/completionsu0022 using API key authentication, then parse the assistant response and any citations returned. Bill French described the speed impact this way: u0022They’ve officially cracked the sub-second barrier, a breakthrough that fundamentally changes the user experience from merely ‘interactive’ to ‘instantaneous’.u0022 Because the endpoint is OpenAI-compatible, a lightweight OCaml HTTP client is usually enough for a first implementation.

Can I embed an OCaml-backed chatbot on my website without making visitors log into ChatGPT?

Yes. You can deploy chat directly on your site using an embed widget, live chat, a search bar, or your own API-driven interface. In an OCaml setup, your app can handle the frontend and session logic while the chatbot API handles retrieval and response generation. That lets visitors interact on your website instead of through a separate hosted chat interface.

How do I connect an OCaml chatbot to my own APIs or internal tools?

A clean pattern is to let the chatbot API answer questions from your documents, then have your OCaml service call your CRM, ERP, or internal REST APIs for live data such as account status or inventory. Barry Barresi described a workflow-specific deployment this way: u0022Powered by my custom-built Theory of Change AIM GPT agent on the CustomGPT.ai platform. Rapidly Develop a Credible Theory of Change with AI-Augmented Collaboration.u0022 The main design principle is to keep retrieval and transactional system calls separate so permissions, debugging, and maintenance stay manageable.

Can my OCaml chatbot use private documents without training the public model on them?

Yes. The platform is GDPR compliant, does not use your data for model training, and is SOC 2 Type 2 certified. In practice, teams usually keep authentication and authorization in the OCaml application, then send only approved queries to the RAG endpoint. That design is especially useful for HR, finance, and legal workflows where document access rules matter as much as answer quality.

Why does my OCaml RAG chatbot give inconsistent answers to the same question?

Inconsistent answers usually point to retrieval or source-content issues rather than to OCaml itself. Start by checking whether your documents were updated and reindexed, whether the query uses the same terminology as the source content, and whether the returned citations match the answer. The Kendall Project reported, u0022We love CustomGPT.ai. It’s a fantastic Chat GPT tool kit that has allowed us to create a ‘lab’ for testing AI models. The results? High accuracy and efficiency leave people asking, ‘How did you do it?’ We’ve tested over 30 models with hundreds of iterations using CustomGPT.ai.u0022 A RAG accuracy benchmark also found that CustomGPT.ai outperformed OpenAI, so answer drift is more likely to come from retrieval setup, chunk coverage, or document freshness than from the OCaml transport layer.
