Building Chatbot Agents from Scratch with OpenAI Functions!

From the creator

Let's build a conversational chatbot agent with OpenAI's new Function Calling for GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-Turbo! We'll see how to create an agent from scratch that has conversational memory, internal thoughts, can use tools, and more! We achieve this with OpenAI functions available in gpt-4-0613 and gpt-3.5-turbo-0613.
