An economic way to use GPT-4 in the browser
Chat GPT-4 currently only allows 40 queries every 3 hours, an abysmal amount for the steep price of $20 a month. You can get around this by simply using the API, but then you'd have to type questions into an IDE... Luckily we've built a Chrome extension that enables users to use a GUI interface for access GPT-4 via API calls, designed to bypass token limits and reduce subscription costs.
- When a user asks GPT a question, it must respond with an answer.
- When a user tries to set the api key, a window must open for the user to input the key.
- If the key is incorrect, the window must indicate so and allow the user to correct the mistake.
To get the extension up and running follow these simple steps.
- Get an API Key at https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
- Clone the repo or download the project as a zip
- In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions/ and enable Developer Mode in the top right of the page
- Click Load unpacked at the top left of the page
- Select the folder containing the repo and click OK
After loading the extension, I strongly recommend you pin it to the search bar by opening the extension menu and clicking the pin icon. Now you should be able to easily open it from any page. To use GPT in your Chrome browser, simply click the icon, enter your API key, and then type a question like you would using OpenAI's page.
Contributions are what make the open source community such an amazing place to learn, inspire, and create. Any contributions you make are greatly appreciated.
If you have a suggestion that would make this better, please fork the repo and create a pull request. Thanks again!
This has been a wonderful growing experience. Learning how to make a Chrome extension has stretched us to learn more about API usage and machine learning. Documentation about how Chrome extensions work and setup would have been useful at the beginning of the project. Moving on, we revamp the UI, allow users to upload images, and increase AI response flexibility.
