CSGPT – AI Chatbot

The CSGPT Plugin was one of my first creations when I started coding with ChatGPT. I invested a lot of time into developing this plugin, initially with the goal of turning it into a full-fledged product. However, I soon realized that it needed more features, and I found myself lacking the time and focus to fully develop it.

One of the key aspects of the CSGPT Plugin is that it uses a context-based approach rather than relying on fine-tuned models. With the advent of newer models like GPT-4 Mini (as of writing this description), it has become easier and more affordable to work with large context windows. I spent considerable time trying to implement a fine-tuning system, but I struggled with fine-tuning my model effectively. As a result, I decided to stick with a knowledge-base type chatbot, making it more user-friendly and accessible for everyone.

While I plan to eventually create a pro version that utilizes WebSockets, the current version of the CSGPT Plugin is built entirely on WordPress, with the only external dependency being the OpenAI API. It uses JavaScript polling for responses instead of WebSockets, making it a straightforward and accessible starting point for anyone looking to upgrade or modify the code.

This plugin is completely open-source and 100% free. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for a solid base to build upon, I hope you find it helpful.
