GYST (Get Your Stuff Together) is a React-based chatbot application designed to be a "best friend in a bot" for students at UC Davis. The chatbot, named Marv, leverages the OpenAI API to provide helpful, compassionate, and knowledgeable responses about campus life, local attractions, and more.

• Conversational AI: Interact with Marv, a friendly chatbot powered by OpenAI's text-davinci-003 model.
• UC Davis Centric: Marv is equipped with knowledge about UC Davis, including campus resources, popular restaurants, parks, bike paths, and sports facilities.
• Supportive Persona: The prompt for Marv is engineered to be kind, compassionate, and supportive, acting as a virtual friend.
• Dynamic Responses: Marv can provide movie recommendations, directions, and discuss hobbies like baking, music, and sports.
• Simple Chat Interface: A clean and intuitive chat interface built with React and styled with CSS.

• Frontend: React.js
• AI: OpenAI API
• Styling: CSS

Follow these steps to get the application running on your local machine.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/rohanmalige/gyst.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd gyst/gyst_app-main/gyst

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

4. Configure OpenAI API Key: Open the src/App.js file and replace the hardcoded API key with your own OpenAI API key.

   // In src/App.js
   const configuration = new Configuration({
     apiKey: "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE", 
   });

5. Start the development server:

   npm start

   The application will open in your default browser at http://localhost:3000.

The core of the application is in src/App.js. When a user sends a message, it is passed to the ChatBot1 function. This function constructs a detailed prompt that defines the personality and knowledge base of "Marv." This prompt, along with the user's message, is sent to the OpenAI text-davinci-003 model, which generates a relevant and in-character response. The conversation state is managed using React hooks, and the chat interface updates in real-time.
