How to make your own ChatGPT site

Many developers are likely familiar with the OpenAI API. By utilizing this API, it is possible to construct a personalized ChatGPT chatbot for your own needs. This ChatGPT will respond to inquiries in the manner that you desire. Fortunately, this can be achieved without having to write a single line of code! Even though ChatGPT itself can generate a code for you, it's still much easier to use no-code platforms to create websites.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a language model pre-trained using a large corpus of text found on the internet. Through this training, it can generate text coherently and plausibly in reaction to the initial input given. To test it, one must sign up to the web interface supplied by OpenAI. Once signed in (through email or various social accounts such as Google), it is possible to enter an initial input and generate the desired text. It is important to note that the length of the input needs to be adequate for the best results; the generated text can vary in quality depending on the input.
ChatGPT can be integrated into a variety of applications and websites for various purposes, including customer service, personal assistance, news and content creation, e-commerce, and virtual writing assistance. Companies can use it to provide 24/7 customer service, personal assistants can help users schedule appointments and tasks, news websites can provide personalized recommendations, online stores can assist customers with checkout and payment processes, and writers can use it to get ideas and feedback. Customization and training of the model are possible to meet any particular requirements.

What are no code platforms?

No-code platforms are web-based services that allow users to build web applications or websites without writing code. These platforms give business users the power to design, develop, and deploy automated applications and solutions without needing to know how to code. The goal is to allow users to create digital solutions faster and with less complexity. Typically they provide users with a graphical user interface (GUI) and pre-built components to create and customize applications. These components can be used to build a wide range of solutions, including custom web applications, websites, mobile apps, workflows, and more.
No code platforms also offer a range of features, including data visualization, analytics, integrations with other third-party services, and cloud hosting. These features enable users to create sophisticated digital solutions that can be deployed directly to the web or deployed to mobile devices.
No code platforms are becoming increasingly popular as they enable users to create digital solutions quickly and easily. They are particularly useful for small businesses and entrepreneurs
The use of no-code website templates is a great way to create a website quickly. Simply pick a template that best suits your needs and modify it to your own specifications. To build a ChatGPT website, you should search for a no-code template.

Which no-code platform to choose?

Such platforms usually provide templates to create websites even faster. All you need to do is to choose a template that fits you best and customize it for your purposes. In our case, we need to look for a ChatGPT no-code template. So it’s not so important wh
When selecting a platform, it is not necessarily important to determine which one to go with; rather, it is more important to see if the platform offers a template that fits your needs. In this situation, the only no-code platform that offers a ChatGPT template is Appery.io.
Appery.io is a cloud-based platform for no-code mobile app development. It provides a set of tools for creating, managing and testing apps for a wide range of devices and operating systems. Appery.io is built on Apache Cordova and provides access to a range of plugins and services to make app development easier. The platform offers a visual editor that allows developers to drag and drop components to create their app. It also has an online code editor, and integrates with popular frameworks such as AngularJS and Ionic. Appery.io also provides a range of testing tools, such as a device simulator, to help developers test their apps on different devices and OS versions. Additionally, Appery.io offers a cloud database and a backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform, allowing developers to store and synchronize their app data. It also provides a range of tools for app analytics and push notifications. Finally, Appery.io lets developers publish their apps as web applications. We will be utilizing this feature for our own needs.

How to create a ChatGPT-like website with a no-code template?

First, you need to sign up for an Appery.io account using your email or one of the many social accounts.
It will open a no-code UI editor with an empty project. You don't need it, as we want to create an application from a template.
Just close this project, and you will see the apps page with the default empty project. Click on the "Create new app" button, choose the templates tab, choose ChatGPT template, fill in the name, and click create.

Create ChatGPT web application from template

You may wonder why it shows you a mobile phone in the editor. The reason is that the platform is mostly used to create mobile applications. However, we can also create and publish a website using it. The template is ready to be tested right away, simply click the "Test" button at the top. This will show you how the app will look on a phone. To get a glimpse of what it will look like as a website, click on the "Remove frame" button.

Play around with ChatGPT parameters

This page of the ChatGPT website will be removed, but you can still experiment with different options and pick the one that best suits your needs. To do this, you'll need to understand the various parameters that can be adjusted. The most powerful model is called text-davinci-003, providing answers similar to what you'll find on the ChatGPT website. Creativity is related to the temperature parameter on OpenAI's API, which can be increased or decreased to make the answers more or less random. The maximum number of words or phrases that can be used in the response is determined by the max tokens parameter. Additionally, you'll need an API key to use the bot. This can be obtained by creating an account on OpenAI's website and navigating to the API Access section of your account dashboard.

Create api keys on OpenAI portal

Once you have configured the settings, you can launch the testing process by clicking the start button. This page is equipped with text-to-speech and speech-to-text capabilities, so you can interact without having to type. This will be a really handy element to have in our mobile application. Spend time exploring this page, testing out various parameters to make the chatbot work optimally.
We don't want to be presented with these parameters every time, so let's eliminate the home page.

Delete the home page with custom OpenAI API parameters

Visit the model and storage page, and access the storage tab. Adjust the default settings to suit your requirements.

Changing OpenAI API parameters

It's almost complete! The only thing left to do is to launch the chat page and customize the user interface to your liking. Here's the outcome: my very own ChatGPT website:

Smart Helper chatbot - ChatGPT-like website

Publish ChatGPT-like website

It's time to publish our website. Appery.io provides a simple option for publishing on their platform.
Close the project first. On the apps page, you can see the "Hosting" option. Here you can choose between publishing it on Appery.io domain and on the custom domain. To publish on Appery domain, you only need to choose the name and click "Publish." Publishing on a custom domain is not much harder, but I won't cover this in this article. You can find it in the official documentation.

The possibilities for creating your own ChatGPT website are nearly limitless. With no code platforms, you can create a website that looks and works exactly how you want it to. Plus, it’s easy to update, customize, and keep your website running with minimal effort. With a few simple steps, you can create a website that not only looks great but is also highly functional and sure to attract more visitors. You’ll be surprised at just how quickly and easily you can create a website that you’ll be proud of.
