OpenAI Powered Weather App

It seems like everyone these days is talking about ChatGPT and all the things it can do. Today I played around with an AI powered weather app to learn more about the OpenAI API.

Like many of my recent projects this project uses Next.js as its application framework. I have been enjoying using Next as it really simplifies development using React. This project has really got me thinking about how else I could integrate AI into other projects in the future.

OpenAI API

The OpenAI API is a powerful tool that allows developers to integrate cutting-edge AI models into their applications with ease. At its core, the API is a cloud-based platform that exposes a set of pre-trained models through a simple RESTful interface. Users can send text prompts to the API, and the models will generate high-quality natural language responses in real-time. The API is powered by OpenAI's state-of-the-art GPT models, which have been trained on massive amounts of text data to provide accurate and diverse responses to a wide range of prompts. Additionally, the API includes a number of customization options that allow users to fine-tune the behavior of the models to meet their specific needs. Overall, the OpenAI API is a powerful and flexible tool that makes it easy for developers to incorporate AI capabilities into their applications.

StepZen and GraphQL

StepZen is a cloud-based platform that allows developers to easily build and deploy APIs using GraphQL, a powerful query language for APIs. With StepZen, developers can define a data schema using GraphQL and connect it to a variety of data sources, including databases, REST APIs, and even other GraphQL APIs. Once the schema is defined, StepZen automatically generates a set of GraphQL resolvers that map to the underlying data sources, allowing developers to quickly build custom APIs that can be accessed from any client. StepZen also provides a number of tools for testing and debugging APIs, as well as monitoring and managing them in production. Overall, StepZen provides a streamlined and flexible approach to building APIs using GraphQL, making it an attractive option for developers looking to leverage the power of this popular query language

GitHub Repo

You can check out this project's code repository here. Due to Vercel's 10 second timeout limit for free-tier serverless functions and OpenAI's pricing for API tokens there is not a live version of this project. However you may download the files from my GitHub and run the project locally. You will need a StepZen account and an OpenAI account, then create a .env with the following environment variables: API_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_STEPZEN_API_KEY, and OPENAI_API_KEY.

This project was based on a project by Sonny Sangha. Check out Sonny's channel here for more of his work.
