Frequently asked questions

What's an OpenAI API key? Where do I find it?

Under the hood, Chitty uses ChatGPT, which is a chat AI created by OpenAI. To use ChatGPT, you need an OpenAI API key. You can get one for free by signing up here: https://platform.openai.com/signup. After you have signed up, you can see your API key here: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.

What data are you saving?

The messages you send and assistants you create never pass our servers. All messages are sent directly to OpenAI, and all assistants are stored locally on your device.

What should I be aware of when creating a new assistant?

When you write your prompt for the new assistant, it's a good idea to start with the words: "You are". As an example, the Abraham Lincoln assistant is initialized with the words: "You are Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States of America."

Why do the assistants sometimes break character?

ChatGPT is a very powerful AI, but it's not comfortable talking about all topics, and it also doesn't want to mislead its users. As a result, it somestimes may break character. We're still trying out to engineer the prompts in a good way, to make the assistants more consistent.
