Simple but powerful chat bot with Streamlit and xAI API

The app is currently deployed on Streamlit Community Cloud, you need to enter your xAI API key in the sidebar in order to use the bot.

Link to the app: BOB the assistant

1. Add you own API key into the sidebar

   • It doesn't neet to be from xAI, you can use other API's, just change the url path and endpoint in const.py
   • I plan to add more API providers later, like OpenAI and Groq
   • Option to choose from available models for the specific API
   • If its paid API, you can send in the request only the last prompt(prompt + system message) for less token usage
   • otherwise u can send the whole conversation

2. To run the web app on localhost:

   • In terminal -> streamlit run server.py

3. To run the chatbot in terminal:

   • In terminal → python ai_agent.py or python3 ai_agent.py

4. I use different SYSTEM_MESSAGES to test what the bot is capable of, later on I will add a function to let the user choose what personality the bot should use.

   • possible SYSTEM_MESSAGES that I may add:
     • quiz maker
     • python expert
     • savage mode (it doesn't provide valuable answers, AI trying to be funny)
     • ...
