Make a CLI tool with Node and OpenAI to boost your productivity

Learn how to build a CLI (Command Line Interface) app that lets you ask questions and generate files from text prompts, powered by the same OpenAI technology that drives Chat-GPT3 and DALL-E. Say goodbye to Google and StackOverflow and boost your productivity. This is a great first project to learn how to make CLI apps in NodeJS, and to learn how to consume APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) with code.

Here are some ideas: - add a command for summarizing the contents of files, using readFileSync() - add a command for updating the API KEY settings (securely!) - add options for adjusting the parameters of the OpenAI API call (ex: set the max token count) - add a command for generating image files from text - add a prompt that asks if the user wants to execute the command returned from OpenAI (y/n) #openai #chatgpt #api #ai #postman #nodejs
