I tried a few tutorials on Youtube and some were good, others not so much. Just be careful to pick ones with recent upload dates since stuff changes fast.
How do you handle user authentication with these agents if you’re building a web app?
I’m curious how people handle errors or weird outputs from the agent?
Does anyone know if these agents can be deployed on mobile apps easily?
Some of the best agents I’ve built were by combining GPT with simple rule-based logic for specific tasks.
I tried building a voice assistant with ChatGPT which was kinda fun! Anyone else tried something like that?
Anyone tried multi-turn conversations? How do you keep context with ChatGPT agents?
Is there any way to train the agent on your own data?
What’s the best language to use for building these agents? Python? JS?
Don't forget about rate limits when using the API, especially if your agent will handle a lot of requests.
I tried some open source frameworks for building agents and they helped me get going faster than starting from scratch.
I've been messing around with ChatGPT agents too! Honestly, the OpenAI docs are pretty helpful but sometimes kinda dense. Starting with their API is the way to go imo.
What about security? Anyone knows best practices when building these agents? I’m worried about data privacy.
If you want a basic chatbot agent, try using the playground first to see how your prompts work before coding anything.
It’s kinda overwhelming at first, but once you play around with the API and prompts a bit, it clicks. Just gotta be patient!
If you’re new, start small. Don’t try to build a super complex agent right away or you’ll get discouraged.
For those who don’t wanna code, there are platforms like Chatbot.com that let you build conversational agents using GPT tech without touching code.
I heard you can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools to help with this kinda stuff. They seem to list lots of useful AI tools regularly.
Anyone else got tips on integrating ChatGPT with other apps? Like, I wanna make an agent that can handle emails automatically.
Has anyone used these agents in customer service? How’s the experience?
Do you need some special hardware or can you run everything just on the cloud?
I’m still trying to understand pricing. Anyone knows how the costs add up for these agents?
