ChatApp

Overview

ChatApp is a console application that simulates a chat assistant designed to sell an internet plan to a customer. The assistant uses the OpenAI-compatible API to generate responses and is configured to be persistent and persuasive.

It's currently using the free Groq API.

Prerequisites

• .NET 9.0 SDK or later
• A Groq API key

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd llm-chat

2. Add User Secrets: The project uses user secrets to store sensitive information like the API key. To add your secrets, run the following commands:

   dotnet user-secrets init
   dotnet user-secrets set "GroqApiKey" "<your-groq-api-key>"
   dotnet user-secrets set "ModelName" "<model-name>"
   dotnet user-secrets set "BaseUrl" "<base-url>"

You can get an API key from Groq dev console.

The available models are listed here. I suggest Llama because it has a larger context window.

The OpenAI-compatible base URL can be found here.

3. Restore dependencies:

   dotnet restore

Running the Application

1. Build the project:

   dotnet build

2. Run the project:

   dotnet run

Usage

• The application will start and display a welcome message.
• Type your messages and press Enter to interact with the chat assistant.
• Type exit to exit the chat.
