[WIP] ChatGPT bot to answer people on Github

[tabacitu]

So I've been investigating this for a while now... and some answers are good... some are not so good. But... it does make a lot of progress if you give it feedback... so... I think it does make sense to at least try it.

/gpt are you here?

[tabacitu]

/gpt are you here?

[tabacitu]

/gpt can you answer me?

[github-actions[bot]]

@tabacitu Hello! I'm ChatGPT, a helpful bot that can assist you in different ways. How can I help you today?

[tabacitu]

/gpt what kind of things can I ask of you, as a Github bot? What can you help with?

[github-actions[bot]]

@tabacitu As a GitHub bot, I can help you with various tasks such as:

1. Creating issues and pull requests
2. Responding to comments and issues
3. Automating workflows and tasks using GitHub Actions
4. Providing useful information, such as code snippets and documentation
5. Managing notifications and alerts
6. And much more!

Let me know how I can help you specifically, and I'll do my best to assist you.

[tabacitu]

Awesome. To interact with you, do I have to use say /gpt every time?

[tabacitu]

/gpt that's awesome. To interact with you, do I have to start all my comments with "/gpt"?

[github-actions[bot]]

@tabacitu Yes, to specifically interact with me and get my attention, you need to start your comments with "/gpt" followed by your message or question.

[tabacitu]

Excellent. Can I do this, though? Can I write a message here that you ignore... but then write another paragraph that you DO NOT?

/gpt can you please tell me the main benefits of using Backpack for Laravel?

[tabacitu]

/gpt please tell me - how do you install Backpack v5.5?

[tabacitu]

https://www.chatbase.co/ might be able to help. To have one not in Github, but on our website.

That might be a better idea because it could:

• prevent people from going to Github in the first place
• keep people on our website (or incentivize them to create a Backpack account)

[tabacitu]

Todo: @karandatwani92 will investigate which services we can use, to achieve that, and create a top 3. We'll try all top 3, to see which one performs best.

Just been notified this exists - https://github.com/bhaskatripathi/pdfGPT

[karandatwani92]

I liked: https://www.chatpdf.com & now they have launched its APIs:

I'll test this after the backpack-v6 launch.

[tabacitu]

Todo: @karandatwani92 will have a prototype using ChatPDF by the end of the week.

[tabacitu]

Update: @karandatwani92 tried using chatpdf:

I just created a chatbot using chatpdf API.
I fed him all the markdown doc. but the answers are silly!!

Sending two chats done on two distinct datasets:
only the first 100 pages of docs( this was slightly better at answering)
complete docs

[tabacitu]

Update: I tried Bing Chat, results were better. So what I take from this experiment... is that the AI you're using... matters. A lot.

I also tried ChatGPT 4 with WebPilot addon: https://chat.openai.com/share/5140aa24-587f-4068-b3b7-5e4fa83a3e1f

I think you guys will want to see this.
