Exercise

Creating an AI chatbot

An online learning platform called Easy as Pi that specializes in teaching math skills has contracted you to help develop an AI tutor. You immediately see that you can build this feature on top of the OpenAI API, and start to design a simple proof-of-concept (POC) for the major stakeholders at the company. This POC will demonstrate the core functionality required to build the final feature and the power of the OpenAI's GPT models.

Example system and user messages have been provided for you, but feel free to play around with these to change the model's behavior or design a completely different chatbot!

The openai package has been pre-loaded for you.
