GUI of a chatbot using streamlit Library

GUI of an AI chatbot 


Creating a GUI for an AI chatbot using the streamlit library in Python is straightforward. Streamlit is a powerful tool that makes it easy to build web applications with minimal code. Below is a step-by-step guide to building a simple AI chatbot GUI using Streamlit.

Step 1: Install Required Libraries

First, you'll need to install streamlit and any AI model or library you want to use (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-3 or a simple rule-based chatbot). If you're using OpenAI's GPT-3, you'll also need the openai library.

pip install streamlit openai

Step 2: Set Up OpenAI API (Optional)

If you're using OpenAI's GPT-3 for your chatbot, make sure you have an API key and set it up as an environment variable:

export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-openai-api-key'

Step 3: Create the Streamlit Chatbot Application

Here's a basic example of a chatbot using OpenAI's GPT-3 and Streamlit:

import streamlit as st
import openai # Set the OpenAI API key (if you're using OpenAI's API) openai.api_key = st.secrets["openai_api_key"] # Initialize session state to keep track of the chat if "messages" not in st.session_state: st.session_state.messages = [] # Function to get a response from the chatbot (using OpenAI GPT-3) def get_response(user_input): response = openai.Completion.create( engine="text-davinci-003", prompt=user_input, max_tokens=150 ) return response.choices[0].text.strip() # Title of the app st.title("AI Chatbot") # Input from the user user_input = st.text_input("You:", "") # If user submits a message if user_input: # Store user input st.session_state.messages.append({"role": "user", "content": user_input}) # Get response from the chatbot response = get_response(user_input) # Store the chatbot response st.session_state.messages.append({"role": "bot", "content": response}) # Display the chat history if st.session_state.messages: for message in st.session_state.messages: if message["role"] == "user": st.text_area("You:", message["content"], height=100, max_chars=None, key=f"user_{len(st.session_state.messages)}") else: st.text_area("AI:", message["content"], height=100, max_chars=None, key=f"bot_{len(st.session_state.messages)}") # Keep the text input focused for the next user input st.text_input("You:", "", key="new_input", on_change=lambda: st.session_state.messages.append({"role": "user", "content": st.session_state.new_input}))

Step 4: Run the Streamlit Application

Save the above code into a Python file, e.g., chatbot.py, and run it using Streamlit:

streamlit run chatbot.py

Explanation:

  1. Streamlit Setup: The streamlit library (st) is used to create the GUI. The st.text_input is used to capture user input, and st.text_area displays the conversation history.

  2. Session State: st.session_state is used to store chat history, allowing the conversation to persist between user interactions.

  3. Chatbot Response: The get_response function sends the user's input to OpenAI's GPT-3 and retrieves a response. This can be modified to use other AI models or even a custom rule-based response generator.

  4. Continuous Interaction: The text input automatically focuses on new user input after each interaction, creating a smooth chat experience.

Step 5: Customize and Deploy

You can customize the chatbot by modifying the prompt, using a different AI model, or adding additional features like buttons or file uploads. Streamlit also makes it easy to deploy your app using platforms like Streamlit Sharing, Heroku, or any cloud service.

This basic example should get you started with building and deploying an AI chatbot using Streamlit!

Website hosting on EC2 instances AWS Terminal

Website hosting on EC2 instances  In the world of web development and server management, Apache HTTP Server, commonly known as Apache, stands as one of the most popular and powerful web servers. Often, developers and administrators require custom images with Apache server configurations for various purposes, such as deploying standardized environments or distributing applications. In this guide, we'll walk through the process of creating a custom image with Apache server (httpd) installed on an AWS terminal.   Setting Up AWS Environment: Firstly, ensure you have an AWS account and access to the AWS Management Console. Once logged in: 1. Launch an EC2 Instance: Navigate to EC2 service and launch a new instance. Choose an appropriate Amazon Machine Image (AMI) based on your requirements. It's recommended to select a base Linux distribution such as Amazon Linux. 2. Connect to the Instance: After launching the instance, connect to it using SSH or AWS Systems Manager Session Manage...

Phone camera as webcam for computer

 Phone's camera as a webcam for computer  To use your phone's camera as a webcam for your computer, you can use the IP Webcam app on your phone along with OpenCV in Python. The IP Webcam app streams the video from your phone's camera over Wi-Fi, which can be accessed on your computer through its IP address. Step 1: Set Up IP Webcam on Your Phone Install the IP Webcam app : Download and install the IP Webcam app from the Google Play Store. Start the server : Open the app, configure any settings you like (resolution, quality, etc.), and then start the server. It will show an IP address, something like http://192.168.1.100:8080 . Test the stream : Open the IP address shown in your web browser on your computer to verify the stream is working. Step 2: Access the Phone's Camera Stream Using Python and OpenCV Now, let's write a Python script that captures the video feed from your phone's camera. import cv2 # Replace this with your phone's IP address and port ...
