# Assistant – Web UI for ChatGPT API

https://assistant.bloat.app

A mobile-friendly human interface for ChatGPT API. There is no back-end server, so you can easily host your own instance (see details below).

See [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) for what’s new.

## 🤔 Why API instead of ChatGPT Plus?

- `gpt-3.5-turbo`: **Cheap** token-based cost, instead of flat 20$/mo

- `gpt-4`: **Unlimited** requests (requires early access)

- **No logouts** – if OpenAI started revoking API keys weekly, a lot of big SaaS products would get very angry

- **Private** – OpenAI’s API policy says your prompts won’t be used for developing, unlike in the playground.

## 🔩 Features

- Very polished, mobile-friendly UI

- PWA support: can be added to the phone’s home screen or installed on your computer as a Chrome app

- Requests go directly from the browser to OpenAI – no backend server

- Settings and API key are stored in `localStorage`

- Unlimited conversation length by sending only x latest messages to the API (configurable)

- Markdown rendering

    - Bold, italic

    - Embedded links

    - Code keywords

    - Code blocks

    - Tables

    - Images

    - Horizontal lines

- Automatic dark/light theme

- Export the conversation as markdown

- Screenshot the whole conversation even if it doesn't fit the window

- Customize the assistant’s behind-the-scenes system message prompt

- Send follow-up messages even before the previous answer is complete (processed in parallel)

- Change the model with ctrl+M

- Open Assistant with an initial prompt if you want to make integrations into other apps. Example: [https://assistant.bloat.app/#q=hello%20there](https://assistant.bloat.app/#q=hello%20there)

## 🚚 In the future

- Search old chats with GPT embeddings (meaning your search words don’t need to be an exact match)

- Speak your messages using the Whisper API

## 🔧 Hosting your own version

- `npm install`

- `npm run build:prod`

- The bundle will go under `dist/`. Copy those files somewhere so they show up as a web page (for example GitHub Pages or Nginx).

## 💙 Contributing

The best way to contribute is by adding feature requests and bug reports to the GitHub [issues](https://github.com/felixbade/chatgpt-web-ui/issues) – you don’t need to be a programmer for that. See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.
