ChatGPT UI App — README

🚩TL;DR:

Built by Ai, for Ai - now with search and no search variants

search = can use search results to form answers, its more expensive so only use if you need it

added android support (non-search only)

Install python3, node.js & npm then:

Windows:

1. Run install.exe

2. Then run start.exe
   Linux:

3. Run install.py

4. Then run start.py
   Both (auto-mode):

• Just run launcher.py

🔑 BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING:

• Get your OpenAI API key (and yes, you gotta have a billing plan, there’s no way around it).

• Open the shortcut for openai.js in your favourite editor (Notepad++ works, so does VSCode, Nano, whatever).

• At the top, you’ll see a line with my example API key like OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-...".
  Replace that with your own API key inside the quotes, then save.

• Want a different model? Edit the model name (e.g., gpt-4o-mini, gpt-3.5-turbo, etc).
  I recommend sticking to gpt-4o-mini — best IQ-to-cost ratio right now.

📦 Windows Install:

1. Install Python:

   • Download Python for Windows

   • Make sure you check the box that says Add Python to PATH during install.

2. Install Node.js & npm:

   • Download Node.js for Windows

   • This comes with npm (Node Package Manager) included.

3. Run the App:

   • Run install.exe (installs dependencies and builds the app)

   • Run start.exe to launch the app

🐧 Linux Install:

1. Install Python:

   • On Ubuntu/Debian:

     sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
     

   • On Fedora:

     sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip 
     

2. Install Node.js & npm:

   • python3 start.py to launch

🚀 Quick Launch (Both OS):

• Just run launcher.py and let it handle everything.

🧑‍💻 Dev Mode

• All source code is included (check the assets folder for my original .md starter template if you wanna fork or rewrite it).

• Do what you want with it. Build, break, meme, shred, or turn it into a VC-backed unicorn. I don’t care, it’s all yours.

❌ Support

If you run into problems:

• Don’t contact me. Seriously. This project was pain and suffering. It’s open source, go wild, but you’re on your own.

Have fun, don’t be dumb with your API key, and make something cool (or at least less annoying than I did).
