# Ask GPT

This project is a simple command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with OpenAI's API including (ChatGPT, GPT-4). The tool allows users to send text to a GPT model and receive generated responses.

## Prerequisites

Rust programming language installed (>= 1.68.0)
An OpenAI API key (you can obtain one by signing up at https://openai.com)

## Setup

1. Download the binary from the crates.io repository

```shell
cargo install ask-gpt
```

2. Then, you'll need to make sure your cargo bin directory is in your path. You can do this by adding the following to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

```shell
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.cargo/bin"
```

3. Create a .env file in the project directory and add your OpenAI API key:

Replace your_openai_api_key with your actual OpenAI API key.

```shell
touch .env
echo "OPENAI_KEY=your_openai_api_key" > .env
```

## Usage

1. Enter your input text, finishing with an empty line:

```shell
Enter the content (finish input with an empty line):
Hello, how are you?
```

2. The tool will send the input to the GPT-3.5 Turbo model and print the generated response:

```shell
ChatGpt: Hello! I'm doing well, thank you. How can I help you today?
```

To exit the program, press Ctrl+C.

### Contribute
