Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll create an MVP of a very basic voice chatbot for Smart Solutions, Inc.'s new AI tool EchoBuddy. You'll begin by creating the foundational app with a simple text input, then integrate OpenAI's chat completion API to enable intelligent responses. Next, you'll add voice capabilities using the Web Speech API, allowing users to speak their queries and hear spoken responses. Finally, you'll expand EchoBuddy's abilities by connecting to external services, including a fun integration with an API that serves up dad jokes on demand.


This liveProject requires use of the OpenAI platform, which is a paid service. For the purposes of this project, $5 should be sufficient.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
