ChatGPT Anywhere

Why pay for ChatGPT's API when it's free in the browser?

ChatGPT Anywhere is a browser extension skeleton for seamless ChatGPT integration, interacting directly with the ChatGPT browser API and offering developers a cost-efficient solution by eliminating the need for OpenAI's paid API calls.

Features

• Convenient API: Offers a straightforward and easy-to-use interface for integrating ChatGPT functionalities.
• Cost-effective: Reduces costs by eliminating the need for OpenAI's paid API calls, as it interacts directly with the ChatGPT browser API.
• Flexible: Designed as a skeleton, it provides a solid starting point for building a wide range of browser extensions utilizing ChatGPT.
• ChatGPT Plus Compatibility: Supports users with ChatGPT Plus subscriptions, providing access to the enhanced capabilities of ChatGPT 4 API.
• Version Selection Menu: Includes a convenient options menu in the extension popup, allowing users to select between different versions of ChatGPT.

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AkashKarnatak/chatgpt-anywhere.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd chatgpt-anywhere

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

4. Build the extension for chrome and firefox:

   npm run build

5. After building, two folders named chrome-extension and firefox-extension will be created. You can now load these extensions into their respective browsers for testing.

Usage: Building with OpenAIConversation API

The OpenAIConversation class provided in the extension/openai.js file allows developers to easily integrate ChatGPT conversations within their browser extensions. Each instance of OpenAIConversation represents a new conversation with ChatGPT, and the ask method preserves the conversation history for ongoing interactions.

To use the API in your extension, follow these steps:

1. Access OpenAIConversation API: content-script.js has access to the OpenAIConversation class defined in openai.js.

2. Create a New Conversation Instance: Create a new instance of OpenAIConversation. This instance will handle the communication with ChatGPT. For example:

const conv = new OpenAIConversation({
  onMessage: (content) => {
    // Handle the response from ChatGPT here.
    // Eg: Changing text content of a div
    console.log(content);
  },
  onError: (error) => {
    // Handle any errors here.
    console.error(error);
  }
});

3. Initiate a Conversation: Use the ask method to send a message to ChatGPT and start the conversation. Subsequent calls to ask will continue the conversation with the preserved history. For example:

conv.ask('Why does the sky appear blue?');

4. Handle Responses and Errors: Implement the onMessage and onError callbacks to process responses and handle errors respectively.

5. Integrate into Extension Functionality: Use the conversation object within your extension's functionality to enable dynamic interactions with ChatGPT.
