💡 How It Works

The chatbot uses three main components:

1. OpenAI Integration: Connects to GPT-3.5 for generating responses

def ai_response(query):
    completion = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
        messages=[...]
    )

2. Chat History: Maintains conversation context

def create_ui(query, past):
    output = ai_response(query)
    past.append((query, output))
    return None, past

3. Gradio UI: Provides the user interface

with gr.Blocks(theme=gr.themes.Glass()) as demo:
    gr.Markdown("<h1><center>Your AI Therapist</center></h1>")
    chatbot = gr.Chatbot()
    msg = gr.Textbox(placeholder="Write your message here")

⚠️ Important Notes

• This is a prototype and should not replace professional medical advice or therapy
• Keep your API keys secure and never commit them to version control
• The chatbot's responses are generated by AI and should be treated as such
• Monitor your API usage to manage costs

🔒 Privacy & Security

• No conversation data is stored permanently
• Chat history is maintained only during the active session
• API keys should be stored as environment variables
• Use HTTPS when deploying to production
