In today’s digital age, the fusion of AI and app development empowers even beginners to craft innovative solutions with minimal coding. If you’re fascinated by the prospects of integrating AI into applications and unsure where to start, you’re in the right place. This guide will walk you through creating a simple app using Streamlit for the web interface and OpenAI to add intelligence. Streamlit is a python framework that helps us easily transform our data and machine learning projects into interactive web applications, without requiring extensive coding knowledge. We’ll develop an application that leverages OpenAI’s powerful models for answering questions based on a given text. Let’s embark on this coding journey.

Before diving into coding, so let’s briefly understand the tools we’re about to use:

• Streamlit is an open-source app framework designed for Machine Learning and Data Science projects. It allows you to turn data scripts into shareable web apps in minutes, with minimal coding.
• OpenAI offers cutting-edge AI models like GPT-3, which can understand and generate natural language. Through the OpenAI API, you can easily integrate these models into applications.

• Basic understanding of Python
• An OpenAI API key (you can obtain one by signing up on their platform)

How to start :

Below are the steps to Integrate the OpenAI in the Streamlit web application.

• 1. Install Streamlit: If you haven’t already, you need to install Streamlit. Open your terminal or command prompt and run:

     pip install openai
     pip install streamlit
     
     

  2. Get OpenAI API Key: Ensure you have your OpenAI API key ready. Securely store this key, as you’ll need it to authenticate your API requests.

• Step 2: Creating Your Streamlit App

• • Create a Python file: Start by creating a new Python file for your project (e.g., app.py).
  • Import Streamlit: At the top of your app.py, import Streamlit along with any other necessary packages:
    import streamlit as st
    from openai import OpenAI# Initialize your OpenAI object with your API key
    open_ai = OpenAI(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
    
    

     
  • Designing Your App Interface: Streamlit makes it incredibly simple to create an interactive web interface. Here’s an example to create a basic interface that takes user input:

    # Set the title of your app 
    st.title('AI Content Generator with OpenAI')
    
    # Create a text input box 
    user_input = st.text_input("Enter your text here", "Type Here") 
    # Create a button that generates the response 
    if st.button('Generate'): 
        response = generate_response(user_input) 
        st.text_area("AI Response:", value=response, height=200)

     

• Integrating OpenAI: Now, let’s define a function that communicates with OpenAI’s API to generate responses based on the input:

  # Define a function to get a response from the selected model for a given user input 
  def generate_response(user_input): 
      # Request a chat completion from the OpenAI API 
      chat_completion = open_ai.chat.completions.create( 
          messages=[ 
              {"role": "user", 
               "content": user_input,
               }, ], 
          model='gpt-3.5-turbo' ) 
      # Check if a response is received 
      if chat_completion: 
          # Extract the content of the response 
          response = chat_completion.choices[0].message.content 
          # Return the response 
          return response
      else: 
          # Display an error message in Streamlit and return an error response 
          return "Error getting a response."
  

   

• Step 3: Running Your App

Revolutionize Your Business With Generative AI

From product design and software development to virtual agents, content creation, and reporting, GenAI is transforming business. Our AI experts help you unlock GenAI’s full potential and drive growth.

Let’s Get Started

Once you have everything set up, it’s time to run your app. To run the application, navigate to your project directory in the terminal and execute:

streamlit run app.py

Streamlit will start a local web server and open your default web browser to display your app. Congratulations, you’ve just created an AI-powered web app!
