Minimal OpenAI chatbot using simpleaichat — a lightweight wrapper for conversational AI.

pip install simpleaichat python-dotenv

Create .env file: OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here

Usage

python main.py

How It Works

1. Loads API key from .env via python-dotenv
2. Initializes AIChat instance with OpenAI credentials
3. Sends a message and prints the response

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• OpenAI API key
• simpleaichat
• python-dotenv

Note

This was an early experiment with LLM APIs. The simpleaichat library handles conversation state, retries, and token management behind the scenes — making it simpler than raw OpenAI SDK calls.
