XAI

XAI is an X (Twitter) power tool which includes chrome extension and local REST service written in NodeJs for generating tweets using ChatGTP and Twitter API. It offers preset buttons that you can define yourself so you can reply or post tweets quickly. It also includes Google Image Search API integration.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Use paid ChatGPT account - it's only way to use ChatGPT API.
  • It works best with ChatGPT Plus subscription (20$/mo) where you can use chat-gpt-4 model
  • You can also use pay-as-you go model (pay per request but you are limited to ChatGPT 3.5) and it's not really good (don't do it)
• Create ChatGPT API key

  

• Apply for X Developer account
• Setup project on X Dashboard
  • Edit authentication settings
    • Change permissions to Read and Write
    • Set type of app to "Web app.."
    • Set required fields to https://localhost (doesn't matter but it's required)

    

  • Under project Keys and tokens:
    • Generate API key and secret
    • Generate Access token and secret

    

Optional

If you want to use Image search feature:

• Apply for Google custom search API
  • Click the button "Get a key" and create a project, copy API key

  

• Create Gooole search API key
• Select "search the entire web" and "image search."
• Copy CX value from generated code

  

Running the project

• Clone the project
• Run npm install in xai-nodejs-backend and xai-chrome-ext folders
• Create .env file in xai-nodejs-backend folder:

  X_API_SECRET=<Twitter API secret you generated in previous step>
  X_ACCESS_TOKEN=<Twitter access token you generated in previous step>
  X_ACCESS_SECRET=<Twitter access secret you generated in previous step>

  GOOGLE_IMAGE_SEARCH_API_KEY=<Google API key you generated in previous step>
  GOOGLE_IMAGE_SEARCH_API_CX=<Google cx generated in previous step>
