The Crawfather

What even is this?

To put it frankly, a kind of stupid idea, but one that has let me play around and learn some different tools and concepts in a fun environment! The Crawfather is, for now, a simple chat bot utilizing OpenAI's ChatGPT that will give you pretty bad fantasy football advice, with a shrimpy, criminal twist. The idea for this came from a chat bot, called "Crow Daddy", from a dynasty fantasy football league I'm a part of and a very strange dream in which "Crow Daddy" was replaced with a mobster, powered by shrimp-based AI. I have yet to figure out what that means exactly, but I guess this is my way of figuring that out. Regardless, it's been a fun little process of pulling this together and learning some new skills I haven't had the chance to utilize in other projects/work. Who knew it would so hard to make ChatGPT respond as shrimpy as I wanted?

How do I make it work?

Here's what you'll need to do to run this locally:

• Fork and clone this repository (or just clone it) to your local machine
• Open it in the IDE of your choosing
• Run bundle install to install all necessary gems
• Create a .env file in the root directory
• Visit OpenAI to get an API key that works with ChatGPT
• In the .env file add the line OPEN_AI_API_KEY=<your_api_key_here> with your personal API key
• Make sure you have postgreSQL installed on your computer
• Run rails db:{create,migrate} to create the database and run the migrations
• Run rails s to boot up your locally hosted version of the web app
• Visit http://127.0.0.1:3000 in your browser and start playing around
