Building my own ChatGPT

I was watching a YouTube tutorial, and the speaker mentioned that you don’t need to subscribe to the ChatGPT monthly plan. Instead, you can use their API directly, which is cheaper. That got me thinking: how easy would it be to build my own ChatGPT with the option of using locally hosted models like Ollama 3?

Today, we’re taking a quick dive into building a simple ChatGPT clone using some cool tech:

Our Tech Stack

  • Nextjs: This React meta framework is perfect for building fast, scalable web apps with features like server-side rendering.

  • TypeScript: Adding types to JavaScript makes your code more reliable and easier to maintain.

  • ShadCN/UI: Helps us build beautiful, responsive user interfaces, fast and easily.

  • Vercel AI SDK: Simplifies connecting our app to OpenAI's GPT-4, making it easy to work with AI.

  • OpenAI GPT-4o: The star of the show, GPT-4 can generate human-like text and is super versatile.

  • Auth0: User authentication made for developers

  • React-Markdown: Renders Markdown content in our React app, making text display neat and user-friendly.

Here’s a little sneak peek of where I am so far. In the coming posts, I’ll share the code and instructions on how it was built. The chosen tech stack makes it super easy to build something like this quickly and effectively.

Stay tuned for more. Until then, stay safe.
