API Integration

Relaxify integrates with the OpenAI GPT-3.5 API to generate natural language responses. You will need an OpenAI API key, which you can get from OpenAI's website.

The core API interaction happens in index.py:

response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    messages=messages,
    max_tokens=200,
    temperature=0.4
)

• model: Specifies the AI model used (gpt-3.5-turbo).
• messages: Holds the chat history and system prompt for generating responses.
• max_tokens: Limits the length of the generated response.
• temperature: Controls the randomness of the response.
