Universal Language Chatbot

The bot interacts with users based on written inputs into a simple web frontend. Inputs are translated by deepl into a custom target language (as defined in config.py). Answeres are generated by OpenAIs GPT-3. The server runs on flask in debug mode.

API Keys

To run this project, you will need to add your API key for the following services to the config file:

https://www.deepl.com/en/docs-api/

https://openai.com/api

They both provide a certain amount of free calls, which are more than sufficient for basic local testing.

Configuration

You might want to adjust the bot to your needs. You can do this by changing the values in the config file. Currently, the following values are potentially subject to change:

target_language = The language you want your bot to speak. Note that he will understand all language inputs as supported by deepl.

empty_input_prompt = What your bot should respond if a user sends an empty message.
