Welcome to the second part of our tutorial series on building a React Native Chatbot App with OpenAI and Amity! In this tutorial, we will pick up from where we left off in the first part, where we set up the basic structure of our app and explored the fundamental concepts of integrating OpenAI's chat models with Amity Social Cloud's Chat SDK. Now, we will dive deeper into building a more sophisticated chat interface with our ChatGPT-powered chatbot.
Pre-requisites
Before we start, ensure that you have:
- Completed the first part of this tutorial series.
- An understanding of React Native development.
- Your OpenAI API Key.
- Your Amity API Key.
Step 1: Update Dependencies
For this part, we'll add a few new dependencies to our project. Specifically, we'll need to install:
Step 2: Update ChatScreen Component
In this step, we will update the ChatScreen component to include a more sophisticated chat interface with the help of Gifted Chat library.
Step 3: Update Amity Utils
We need to update our Amity utility functions to include message fetching capabilities.
Step 4: Testing Your Chatbot
After making these changes, run your app in a simulator or a device to test your chatbot. Now you should be able to see your chat interface rendered with the GiftedChat library, and our chatbot should work as expected.
