Adding Custom GPTs to Your Website: A Step-by-Step Guide by Northera AI
This comprehensive guide will seamlessly integrate custom GPTs into any website. This step-by-step tutorial is in response to the high demand from creators who have crafted impressive GPTs on the ChatGPT Builder but are eager to deploy them beyond the confines of the ChatGPT site. By the end of this guide, not only will you master the art of embedding GPTs into websites, but you'll also gain a deep understanding of OpenAI's visionary approach that paves the way for building and selling GPTs integrated into various aspects of our digital world.
Understanding the GPT Landscape
Before delving into the implementation, it's crucial to distinguish between GPTs created on the ChatGPT website and those developed using OpenAI's Assistant API. The former can be viewed as consumer-oriented, offering a playful experience for users. On the other hand, the Assistant API unlocks the true potential for business applications, allowing programmable operations. This guide focuses on leveraging the Assistant API to create powerful, business-facing GPTs that can be seamlessly integrated into real-world applications.
Creating a Custom Knowledge Chatbot
In this section, a custom knowledge chatbot designed explicitly as a sales rep training assistant is created. This chatbot will provide sales reps, particularly junior ones, with tailored knowledge of training documentation, offering insights into business information, available discounts, pricing details, and recommended sales approaches.
Google Cloud Setup: Your Gateway to Power
It's time to hop onto Google Cloud. Set up a new project, enable the Geocoding API, and grab that golden API key. This key will be your ticket to accessing the Solar API and performing geocoding magic. Copy it, paste it in Replit, and voila!
Airtable: Your Temporary CRM
Every lead needs a home; Airtable is our choice for this project. Create an API key and update it in Replit. Now, your CRM is as prepared as you are.
Voice Flow Integration
Voice Flow is the front end, allowing users to interact with your assistant programmatically. Download the Voice Flow template from Northera AI and import it into your Voice Flow account. This template is designed for seamless integration with the Repl functionality, creating a smooth interaction between users and the GPT.
Setting Up Your Environment
- Obtain an OpenAI API key from the OpenAI website.
- Paste your API key in the designated section under Secrets in the Replit template.
Testing the Setup
Run the Repl template, obtain the URL from the web view, and update the Voice Flow settings accordingly. Test the chatbot's functionality within Voice Flow to ensure smooth communication with the Assistant API.
Embedding GPT into Your Website
With Voice Flow set up and tested, proceed to embed the chatbot into your website. Voice Flow provides an embed code that can be easily inserted into your website's code. Customize the appearance to align with your brand.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You've successfully integrated a custom GPT into your website, enhancing user engagement and providing valuable information.
