This is a simple AI-powered chatbot built using Python and the OpenAI API. It takes user input and returns an AI-generated response using GPT models.

• OpenAI Chat Completion integration
• Secure API key handling with .env
• Virtual environment setup with venv
• Supports both GPT-4o and GPT-3.5-turbo models

bash git clone https://github.com/faithchris/openai-chatbot.git cd openai-chatbot

bash python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate

After activating your virtual environment, install the required Python packages using pip:

bash pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a .env file in the root directory and add your OpenAI API key:

env OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Once everything is set up, you can run the chatbot using:
