ChatGPT Clone with API
???? Project Title:
ChatGPT Clone with API Integration
???? Summary:
This project replicates the functionality of ChatGPT by building a user interface that interacts with OpenAI's GPT API (or similar LLM APIs). It allows users to have real-time conversational experiences with AI, mimicking intelligent responses, context understanding, and chat history—ideal for learning, customer support, or productivity tools.
✨ Key Features:
Interactive Chat Interface (like ChatGPT)
Real-time Typing Indicator & Loading Animations
API Integration with OpenAI GPT-3.5 / GPT-4
Context Retention (Session-based memory)
Dark/Light Mode Toggle
Copy/Save Responses
Chat History Storage
Admin Mode (optional): View usage logs, limit tokens)
Rate Limiting / Token Usage Display
Responsive Design for Mobile & Desktop
????️ Technologies Used:
Frontend: React.js / Next.js (for SSR and fast performance)
Backend: Node.js / Express.js or Python Flask (for routing and API proxy)
API: OpenAI GPT-3.5/GPT-4 via REST API
Authentication: Firebase Auth / JWT
Database (optional): MongoDB / Firebase Firestore (for storing chat history)
Hosting: Vercel, Netlify, or AWS
Styling: Tailwind CSS / Chakra UI
⚙️ Working Process:
User logs in (optional)
Frontend captures user input and sends it to backend/API
API request is made to OpenAI GPT endpoint with chat context
Response from GPT is displayed in chat window
Chat history optionally saved to database per session/user
Interface updates with real-time responses and session memory
✅ Benefits:
Practical Learning: Great way to learn API integration and LLM concepts
Customizability: Can be adapted for niche uses like support bots, productivity tools
Scalable UI/UX: Modern interface practices with token usage awareness
Developer Control: Full control over prompts, settings, and role behavior
Portfolio-Ready: Impressive, functional project demonstrating full-stack skills
Monetizable Potential: Can evolve into a SaaS AI assistant for verticals like education or HR
