Creating ChatGPT Apps with JavaScript - by Bruce Hopkins Jr & Bruce Hopkins Sr (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Transform your JavaScript expertise through the power of Open AI API models using "Creating ChatGPT Apps with JavaScript." This book will guide JavaScript developers to build smart applications while providing tangible knowledge of OpenAI's API for text summarization, creating transcripts from audio files, generating images, and running models locally on your machine.

Through hands-on projects and code examples, readers will discover how to build AI-powered apps from scratch, such as using embeddings to train a Discord bot to answer customers' questions in multiple languages. Readers will also learn to dictate text for writing articles or blogs with a localized integration of Whisper and generate hero images with Dall-E.

From seasoned developers to newcomers, this book offers something for everyone. Not only will readers learn to build apps with ChatGPT and JavaScript, but they will also learn best practices for prompt engineering. They'll understand how AI models can enhance workplace efficiency and utilize natural language processing (NLP) to make interactions with applications feel...well, natural. The end result is expert knowledge in leveraging ChatGPT programmatically and incorporating the technology into diverse applications.

What You Will Learn:

• Gain a deeper understanding of ChatGPT and how OpenAI's models work, and different ways to implement each of their various features.
• Authenticate with ChatGPT and OpenAI's API and learn to send prompts with best practices with prompt engineering.
• Streamline productivity and content creation by leveraging transcription generation for dictation and image generation for creating hero images.
• Stay ahead of the game by incorporating different new features of OpenAI's API and understanding more complex concepts like using GPT-4 to train a Discord bot with an FAQ to assist with multilingual tech support.

Who This Book is for:

This book is written for JavaScript developers and hobbyists that want to use OpenAI and ChatGPT to create intelligent applications and streamline productivity. No prior experience with ChatGPT or OpenAI APIs is required.

From the Back Cover

Transform your JavaScript expertise through the power of OpenAI models. This book will guide JavaScript developers to build intelligent applications while providing tangible knowledge of OpenAI's API for ChatGPT.

You will learn the basics of ChatGPT and OpenAI APIs, including how to authenticate, send prompts, generate responses, test in the Playground, and handle errors. Through practical exercises, you will learn how to AI-enable your own applications using models such as o1, GPT-4o, GPT-4, Whisper, DALL-E, and many more. You will see how ChatGPT can provide powerful Natural Language Processing capabilities to help your apps understand unstructured texts. Step-by-step, you will apply concepts to create your own intelligent chatbots that can automatically process messages from Slack or Discord.
