In order to use Smalltalk, you must first generate your OpenAI API key. To do so, sign up or log in to your account. From there, click on your profile in the upper-right, select View API Keys, and copy or create your secret key.
Download the Smalltalk source code from this repository. Once downloaded, create a .env
file in the smalltalk
directory. Paste your API key into the .env
file in this format: OPENAI_API_KEY=*insert_your_key_here*
.
To run Smalltalk, start a virtual environment by running pipenv shell
. Then, simply type python gui.py
to launch the application. From there, you will be able to use Smalltalk to generate AI-written messages based on templates you create.
The application is a prototype, meaning there may be minor bugs you encounter while using. Updates will be released in the near future to address these issues.
