parse_context

This program uses the OpenAI API, powered by GPT-3, to power the logic of a context-based active-listening voice assistant. The context of this software is:

• Humans have a conversation, which is recorded and transcribed in real time.
• (THIS PROGRAM) The conversation is sent to the OpenAI API along with a few-shot list of examples. The API returns a detected context, suggestions for what outputs would be useful to the humans, and a list of data sources for achieving those outputs.
• The voice assistant presents the data to the user to augment the conversation.

Requirements

• Python 3
• OpenAI Python Client
• OpenAI API key

Installation

API Key Setup

First, set up your API key:

export OPENAI_API_KEY='sk-<your key here>'

To make it persistent,

echo "export OPENAI_API_KEY='sk-<your key here>'" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

Python and Packages Setup

Install Python. Install Pip for Python3. Then run:

pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt

To update the requirements file after changing, you can use:

pip3 freeze > ./requirements.txt

Or

pip3 freeze | grep openai > ./requirements.txt

Usage

Non-interactive mode (default)

To use non-interactive mode, make sure the INTERACTIVE flag at the top of parse_context.py is set to False.

Then, run the program while passing your conversation to standard input (STDIN). For example, if the above conversation were placed in a file located at ./conversations/tech_stack.txt, we could run:

cat ./conversations/tech_stack.txt | python3 parse_context.py

The result will be printed to STDOUT (default is the terminal window).

Interactive Mode

To use interactive mode, make sure the INTERACTIVE flag at the top of parse_context.py is set to True.

Then, run python3 parse_context.py. You can enter the conversation on the command line in the following format, using /end to stop.

A: Hey, what tech stack do you think we should use for the new app?
B: What app?
A: The dating app we are developing. It needs to be cross-platform mobile.
B: Oh, okay. Um... I don't really know any good frameworks
/end

And the result will be printed to STDOUT.
