Command Line

CustomGPT.ai has long provided comprehensive API documentation to help developers integrate chatbots into their applications, giving them full control over customization. However, CustomGPT.ai now goes beyond APIs by offering powerful command line tools. These tools serve various purposes, such as project and data management, all accessible directly through the command line with multiple functionalities.

In today’s blog post, we will explore the CustomGPT Command Line Chatbot App, diving into its key features and benefits that help users efficiently manage projects, and stream responses directly from the command line. Additionally, we will walk through an example script that demonstrates how to use this app to create and manage conversations with continuous streaming responses.

CustomGPT.ai Command Line Chatbot App: A Powerful Tool for Streamlined Chatbot Responses

The CustomGPT.ai Command Line Chatbot App is a versatile tool designed to help developers create, manage, and interact with chatbots directly from the command line. This app leverages CustomGPT.ai’s API to facilitate various tasks related to the chatbot providing a streamlined and efficient way to handle chatbot projects without needing a graphical user interface.

Key Features and Benefits

The following are the benefits of the CustomGPT.ai command line chatbot app:

Integration with CustomGPT.ai API

The app utilizes the powerful API provided by CustomGPT.ai, allowing developers to integrate chatbots into their applications with full customization control.

Project Management

Developers can easily create and manage chatbot conversations and get streamed chatbot responses directly from the command line.

Real-Time Interaction

It supports real-time streaming of chatbot responses, enabling continuous conversation with users.

User-Friendly

Designed to be accessible for both seasoned developers and those new to chatbot development, it simplifies the process of deploying and optimizing chatbots.

Efficiency

By handling all tasks directly from the command line, the app enhances productivity and reduces the need for extensive manual configurations.

Command Line Chatbot App Script

We will download the command line tool script demonstrating how to use the CustomGPT.ai Command Line Chatbot App from its cookbook. This script shows how to set up a project, create a conversation, and engage in continuous dialogue with real-time streaming responses. Here is an example script you can use to get started:

Setting Up

First, we import the necessary libraries: requests for making HTTP requests, json for handling JSON data, and SSEClient for handling server-sent events (SSE) streams.

Main Function

The main() function contains the main logic of our script which includes the following functions.

API Setup

We set up the API endpoint and prompt the user to enter their API token and project ID. The API token is used to authenticate the user, and the project ID specifies which chatbot project we’re working with.

Headers Configuration

We define the headers for our HTTP requests. These headers include the content type (JSON), authorization (API token), and accept (SSE for streaming responses).

Fetching Project Information

We construct the URL to fetch project information and make a GET request to this URL. The response is printed to the console to show the project details.

Creating a Conversation

The user is prompted to enter a name for the conversation. This name is included in the payload, which is then sent in a POST request to create a new conversation. The response contains details about the new conversation, including the session ID, which is stored for future use.

Continuous Conversation Loop

We enter a loop where the user can continuously send prompts to the chatbot.

  • Prompt Input: The user enters a prompt.
  • Payload: The prompt is included in a JSON payload with streaming enabled.
  • Sending the Prompt: The payload is sent in a POST request to the chatbot API.
  • Streaming Responses: The response is handled as a stream. Each event in the stream is printed to the console until the conversation finishes.

Exiting the Script

This line ensures that the main() function is called when the script is executed.

Summary

  • Setup: Imports libraries, sets up API endpoint, and prompts for API token and project ID.
  • Headers: Defines headers for HTTP requests.
  • Fetch Project Info: Retrieves and prints project information.
  • Create Conversation: Creates a new conversation and retrieves the session ID.
  • Continuous Conversation: Enters a loop for continuous interaction with the chatbot, streaming responses in real time.
  • Exit: Ends the script if ‘exit’ is typed.

This script provides a simple way to interact with a chatbot via the command line, leveraging the CustomGPT.ai API for real-time conversations.

Run the Command line Chatbot App Script

To run the script download it from the cookbook. Follow these steps:

  • Open the command line interface and navigate to the directory where you saved the script.
  • Write the path of the saved file in the command line.
  • In the terminal or command prompt, type python followed by the name of the script file. Press Enter to execute the script.
  • When prompted, enter your CustomGPT.ai API token and project ID. You can get API key and Project ID from your CustomGPT.ai account.
  • The script will guide you through setting up a project, creating a conversation, and interacting with the chatbot. Write the conversation name and the conversation will be created within the CustomGPT.ai chatbot for answering users’s queries.
  • Enter prompts to interact with the chatbot and receive real-time streaming responses. 
  • The script will display the chatbot’s responses in real time, allowing you to review the conversation.
  • Once you’re finished, you can exit the script by typing ‘exit’ when prompted for a prompt.

By following these steps, you can run the Command Line Chatbot App script and experience real-time interaction with the CustomGPT.ai chatbot directly from your command line interface.
