Hello and welcome to the chatGPT and Next.js course. In this course, we will be building a chatGPT clone using OpenAI and Next.js. We will put our own twist on it by creating an application called Chatty Pete. Chatty Pete will have user accounts and we will be implementing user accounts with Auth0. Once users have signed up and logged into our app, they will be presented with a user interface similar to chatGPT. They will have a list of their previous chats on the left-hand side and they will be able to create a new chat.
In the chat, users can interact with the chatGPT model. For example, they can ask questions like ‘What is your name?’ and the model will respond with something like ‘My name is Chad GPT’. We will also stream the response back to the user in real-time.
Throughout this course, we will cover everything we need within Next.js. We will style our app with Tailwind CSS, implement user authentication with Auth0, and store all our information using MongoDB.
I look forward to seeing you in the next lecture where we will kick off this course!
Before we move on to the next video, I want to quickly point out that throughout this course, you may see a review prompt asking you to leave a rating and/or review of the course. This is optional, but I would really appreciate it if you could leave a rating and/or review. It helps other students know whether this course is for them or not. Thank you in advance!
In the next video, we will take a look at the Pages directory within Next.js and set up our chat page and chat root.
To set up our chat page, we will create a new file called chat.js in the Pages directory. This file will contain the code for rendering the chat page. We will also create a dynamic route for individual chat pages. This will allow us to access chat pages with a specific chat ID.
To create a dynamic route, we will create a new folder called chat in the Pages directory. Within this folder, we will create a file called [chatID].js. This file will handle the rendering of individual chat pages based on the chat ID.
We will also set up an optional catch-all dynamic route to handle the case where we access the chat page without a specific chat ID. This will allow us to render the same component for both the new chat page and individual chat pages.
In the next lecture, we will continue with the course and set up authentication and user accounts using Auth0.
