I made a Whatsapp chatbot with OpenAI
Day 15 / 365
A few days back I wrote about ChatGPT and my plans of trying to build stuff using that technology. In my opinion, the best way to learn something is just to start building things with it. So that is what I did.
A chatbot that helps you with your English
My product is really simple. It’s a number on WhatsApp, to which you can send any text in broken English and it will reply back with its fixed Grammatically correct version.
Not only that, if you type anything in Hindi (using English letters) and it will give you the English translation.
You can try it out yourself. Just start a WhatsApp chat with the number +15304756685

It's simple. But it solves a genuine problem.
A lot of times my parents would want to type something in English, maybe for a comment on Facebook or a reply on a group chat on WhatsApp. And they would ask me how to do that. Sure they could go online or go to ChatGPT themselves and figure it out, but that is too much tech for them to get around. This way is much easier for them, they just have to send a Whatsapp message.
I showed them how to use it and they loved it. So I guess that's a win for me.
This wasn’t a particularly tough thing to code, but I am happy that I was able to finish it end to end so that it is now out there for anyone to use. Not like my other hobby projects that stay on my mac. And I am excited to see what else I can build with GPT.
