How to integrate ChatGPT into your website

Now, let’s explore the step-by-step process of integrating ChatGPT into your website:

• Step 1: Set up an OpenAI account
  To get started, visit the OpenAI website and create an account. This provides you with the necessary credentials to access the ChatGPT API. Once you have an account, retrieve your API key from the OpenAI dashboard. This key will be used to authenticate your API requests.
• Step 2: Choose a programming language and framework
  Select a programming language and framework that you are comfortable with for web development. Popular choices include Python with Flask or Node.js with Express.js.
• Step 3: Install the OpenAI Python library or JavaScript package
  Depending on your chosen programming language, install the OpenAI Python library or JavaScript package using the package manager of your choice. For example, the Python library will use the following command: /pip install openai/
• Step 4: Initialize the ChatGPT model and make API requests (Back-end development)
  In your web application, initialize the ChatGPT model using your API key and make API requests to generate responses based on user inputs. You can customize the prompt and parameters to fine-tune the responses according to your requirements.

Refer to the following function to interact with API:

def get_response(prompt, model=“text-curie-002”, max_tokens=150):

    response = openai.Completion.create(

        engine=model, #or “your_chosen_engine”,

        prompt=prompt,

        max_tokens=50,

        n=1,

        stop=None,

        temperature=0.8

    )

    return response.choices[0].text.strip()

• Step 5: Implement the chat interface on your website (Front-end development)
  Design and implement a user-friendly chat interface on your website where users can interact with the ChatGPT-powered chatbot. This can be achieved using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Step 6: Test and iterate
  Thoroughly test the integration to ensure that the chatbot functions as expected. You should prepare various user scenarios and edge cases to identify and address any issues in the testing process. By actively seeking and incorporating user feedback, you can gather valuable insights to iterate and refine the implementation.

It’s important to follow best practices when integrating ChatGPT into your website. Make sure that you handle errors gracefully, implement rate limiting to prevent excessive API usage, and consider user privacy and data protection measures.

Further enhancement of ChatGPT based on business-specific data

One of the key advantages of ChatGPT is its ability to be tailored to specific business needs, including incorporating a company’s unique knowledge base. By leveraging business-specific data, ChatGPT can provide more accurate and relevant responses that align with the company’s products, services, and processes.

• Structure business-specific data: Compile relevant information about your company, including product details, FAQs, and any other pertinent information. This can involve categorizing data, creating question-answer pairs, or organizing it hierarchically so ChatGPT can comprehend and process the data.
• Fine-tune ChatGPT with the business knowledge base: It refers to taking a pre-trained ChatGPT model and further training it on your company’s data to make it more specialized and domain-specific. This process helps ChatGPT understand the context and nuances of your business and generate responses aligned with your company’s expertise. Also, you can train it to respond to customers in a way that matches your brand identity, such as the language and tone of the brand
• Ongoing maintenance and updates: As your company evolves, new products or services are introduced, or customer preferences change, it’s important to continually update the business knowledge base and refine the model to ensure ChatGPT remains relevant and provides accurate responses.

Use case: ChatGPT integration with NFTify

Let’s explore a specific use case of integrating ChatGPT into NFTify, developed by Ekotek.
NFTify is a leading no-code NFT marketplace with more than 20,000 users from all over the world, enabling anyone to build and launch their customized NFT marketplaces at a minimal cost. As the need for a reliable customer support solution increased, NFTify sought to develop a chatbot that could assist customers 24/7 and turned to Ekotek for their expertise in AI chatbot development.

The integration process involves two main parts: creating a vector database and implementing interaction with end users.

Part 1: Creating a vector database

1. We used the crawling method to scan NFTify sitemaps, including user guides, legal documents, and FAQs, allowing the chatbot to gather relevant information.
2. After crawling, data processing is performed to eliminate redundant and duplicate data, supplement up-to-date data, and create reference links. This step ensures the quality and accuracy of the information stored in the database. The admin can also update internal documents to train the Chatbot regularly.
3. Ekotek created an embedding model from the processed data using Python code and the Langchain framework, for vectorizing data. The Langchain framework facilitates interaction with large language models and leverages data from third-party sources. It enables the AI chatbot to utilize additional information from various data sources such as Google and Facebook and provides components for using language models in various real-world scenarios.
4. The vector data is stored in a vector database (Pinecone), and the model version is saved in a relational database management system (RDBMS). With Pinecone, there are no context limits, and it efficiently retains context for a longer period.

Part 2: Implementing interaction with end users

1. A chatbot widget was created to provide instant and automated support to users.
2. When a user inputs a question into the chatbot, the question and the chat history are sent to the server.
3. The server receives the question and chat history, and it makes a call to the OpenAI API (ChatGPT) to summarize them into a single question.
4. Using Python code and the Langchain framework, the server compiles the summarized question into embedding data.
5. The vector database (Pinecone) is queried to find the most relevant data matching the embedding data.
6. The single question, along with the data from step 5, is sent to OpenAI (ChatGPT) to generate a refined answer.
7. The answer from step 6 is displayed to the user on the chatbot user interface, and the chat history is stored in the RDBMS for future reference.
