A simple WinForms app that uses OpenAI web API (text and image generation) to provide a fun interactive experience. This is just a learning experience for using generative AI, so there is no deep game play here. My learning goals:
- Image generation - text to image used to generate the initial character images, in-painting (OpenAI calls it image edit) are used to dynamically update the character portrait.
- Text generation - use of system messages to set up role playing. Maintain the memory for the character to continue the conversation.
- Prompt engineering - use prompt engineering to ask LLM to expose character emotional state, so I could extract that to update character portrait.
You need to modify WinFormsAiChat/Form1.cs to enter OpenAI API key for the app to run correctly.
The app supports using local Open API compatible servers. Modify TextUseLocal and ImageUseLocal constants in WinFormsAiChat/Form1.cs to have the code running against a local web server.
I hardcoded the host name to use with my LocalGenAI framework, but it should work with other OpenAI compatible servers with minor modification.
- There are two different characters to choose from
- You are given a goal to accomplish on the UI. Try to probe the character for their hidden back stories, motivation and restrictions on helping you with your goal.
- For added fun, AI's emotion state is shown in the status bar and their portraigt would be updated to reflect that during the chat.
- I have not finish the part to recognize the goal has been accomplished, so it's honor system for now ;-)
