Overview
This article teaches how to create a ChatGPT application in Blazor WebAssembly using OpenAI API. ChatGPT is a powerful language model developed by OpenAI that has been trained to generate human-like text based on input prompts. This model produces engaging and natural language responses, making it ideal for conversational interfaces.
Introduction
Blazor is an innovative and modern open-source framework that enables the creation of web applications using C# and .NET. This framework represents a new and cutting-edge approach to developing rich and interactive user interfaces that are fast, efficient, and user-friendly. With Blazor, you can harness the power of WebAssembly to run .NET code in the browser, creating a seamless and integrated experience for the end user.
One of the interesting applications that can be built using Blazor is a chatbot, which can generate human-like text based on user inputs. ChatGPT is a large language model developed by OpenAI, which has been trained on a massive amount of data and can generate responses similar to those written by a human. Using the OpenAI API, we can access this model and generate responses based on user inputs.
Requirements
To create our ChatGPT application, we will begin by setting up our development environment. This will involve installing the necessary tools and dependencies, including the .NET SDK and Blazor WebAssembly. Next, we will create a new Blazor WebAssembly project and configure it to use the OpenAI API for ChatGPT. This will involve creating an API key and setting up the appropriate endpoints for communication between our application and the OpenAI API.
Once we have our environment set up, we will proceed to the implementation of our application. This will involve creating a simple and intuitive user interface that allows the user to input a prompt and receive a response from ChatGPT.
To handle the communication between our application and the OpenAI API, we will use the HttpClient class in C#. This class provides a convenient way to make HTTP requests and receive responses from a web API. We will use this class to send the user's input prompt to the OpenAI API and receive the response from ChatGPT.
Taking questions and showing responses in frontend
In the following code, you can see an input field whose data is bound to the variable “@message”,
this will be our question to pass into the API call and for which we will get an answer as a response.
Once we have the response, we must render it into the UI. For this application, we have created a simple UI using the razor components like razor pages provided by Blazor.

Hi Yash - I am working on Net7 and found a problem in the code which I think this fixes: // completion.Model = OpenAI_API.Model.DavinciText; completion.Model = OpenAI_API.Models.Model.DavinciText;

Is there any way to train ChatGpt for our business?

Overall, a good article, but one comment regarding error handling. If you are going to rethrow an error without logging or otherwise handling it, don’t catch it. It’s a waste of CPU cycles. Also, avoid throw ex; as that resets the stack trace. If you must rethrow use throw; instead.

Nice, Yash. The Github link doesn't work. Also, can you upload the code for this article?
