Automating My Life with Python & ChatGPT: Coding My Own Virtual Voice Assistant | Code With Me

[@jidun9478]

It is refreshing to see someone working through problems as things don't always work out the way you want.... ever! Most people just show how everything works perfectly. Thank you 😊.

[@TiffInTech]

Thank you!!

a sheet and a pencil dont work no more?

[@TurdBoi666]

​@@Lord_earth this ratio works tho

[@PanCave]

Very sympathetic, especially since it's not typically clinically clean tutorial, because you show your mistakes and a good way to deal with them. Very refreshing!

[@George2647g]

THIS!! ^^^^ This is so much of coding usually and it's great to see it in raw form..

[@TalmadgeMcGhoulaghy]

I love that you share your mistakes. Using ChatGPT I had this set up in 10 minutes top. My only advice is mute the mic immediately after you speak the request. Maybe it’s my mic quality but I find it works much better if you mute. Python is so effing cool. For any mainframe guys out there it’s very similar to MVS REXX. A few subtle difference but I got it immediately. Unlike Java Script.

[@damiananslik6214]

At the 6 minute mark the reason Intellisense was not able to see the installed libraries was most likely because VSC was still using the default interpreter and not the one associated with the virtual environment. To change it: 1. Press Ctrl + Shift + P (I presume Cmd + Shift + P on MacOS). 2. Type interpreter and click on "Python: Select Interpreter". 3. Choose the interpreter associated with the virtual environment, usually has the environment name written somewhere beside it. 4. Reload window, et voila.

This is my favorite part about tech communities. We all just want to learn and grow, and we aren’t afraid to help others with what knowledge and wisdom we’ve acquired on our own journeys. We’re all one big Oroborus of paying it forward! 😊

[@nahfid2003]

one thing to note here is that you go one level below your venv folder to run Cmd Shift P. Otherwise it wont show the interpreter.

[@p.c.336]

Another related trick is switching to another interpreter and turning back to venv, if VS Code insists on not recognizing the venv, showing red lines under package names.

I have been doing JS professionally for about a year as well and just started python last month. I literally love it. I want to make scripts to automate as much as I can. Much respect

[@TiffInTech]

Thank you! Right?! I spent my career in JS and discovered Python after a few years and love it

[@sportykev]

I like how you included troubleshooting, because running code off the Internet doesn't always work as you think it should.

[@DerelictNacho]

This was awesome! I added Chat-GPT through the API and now I'm able to use my assistant to ask ChatGPT questions :)

[@rendericeib4513]

the cutest programmer, you have inspired me on learning Python

[@diamondsands2588]

I could have easily been a tech girly, because when you started you sounded exactly like ME. I want to automate any and everything in my lifeeeee

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

A voice recog project that even remotely works in less than 30 min. Fantastic! Very powerful example.

[@michaeltse321]

This is more a lifestyle channel than a tech channel. Never did I imagine the domain of the nerd goes mainstream - lol

[@aresaurelian]

The smile on your face discovering that you now can do 'anything' to your hearts desire, is well worth all the hard work behind it. Gratitude.

[@DrReginaldFinleySr]

Thank you for sharing. I may do the same. I created my assistant using python, ChatGPT, Google's text-to-speech API, and I love it! It can tell me my schedule, check the weather, and just have a general conversation about anything. I'm steadily adding more functionality and personalities. I even created a digital twin, which is kinda weird.

[@afeefshaikh8149]

Could you tell me more about how you created double twin

[@goss4444]

I've been working with ChatGPT for a few months, learning Python along the way. Similar to you, I have experience in automation and scripting through my past work with AutoIt. Python has proven efficient and user-friendly, especially with its threading capabilities. However, I believe there's a crucial element I'm missing when interacting with ChatGPT. To avoid potential API costs, I've mainly used the web interface. The computational limit in ChatGPT-4 can be an issue, as the AI language model might lose focus on the task. This makes resuming code generation challenging, prompting me to modularize my projects. Visual Studio Code offers great ChatGPT plugins, but they often depend on the API, which might cause a loss of the "personal connection" with the bot. My question is: how do you work with ChatGPT? Should I stop relying on it so much and only use it for specific debugging purposes? I feel like I've become somewhat reliant on ChatGPT, repeatedly asking it to create Python scripts. Although I'm excited about this technology and the opportunities it presents, I think I might not be using it optimally.

[@coldensheppard6221]

This is Awesome! I just started a new course on Python on Zero to Mastery platform and currently learning about lists, this here is way over my head but with you video I was able to get it to work!!

[@YumFit1]

Thank you for this video. It reminded me of the good times of how I got excited about computer science. These days it's all very stressful leetcoding all the time - all the joy has been taken out of it...

[@DodaGarcia]

I really like your teaching style and the honesty about the debugging process, but the title misled me a bit because it gave me the impression the video was going to be about creating a virtual voice assistant that actually harnessed the power of the GPT-3 API. In reality, ChatGPT factored very little into the project - it did generate code that allows the script to understand the words being said, but what is then done with that information has to be painstakingly programmed in from some hardcoded keywords, which can be useful but is also where we were many years ago.

[@AnRodz]

I didn't know you existed. Kudos for your parents, the world, and you, of course!

[@teenydragons1400]

Just want to say thank you for making this video. I was running into problems with speech recognition. This gives me inspiration to go back to an earlier project.

[@norbertfeurle7905]

With python difflib and get_close_match function you don't have to perfectly spell out the command and still can get a match. Also you can let chatgpt generate some commands that have the same meaning so that when you tell the command slightly different it would detect variations of it.

[@stillready6405]

I very much liked the video. Showing the process and errors which can occur is very nice to see, because you feel like you are not alone. Then there are other tutorials where it seems they get everything right the first time (which they ofc don't).

[@RaoBhethanabotla]

Ahh this is so cool!!! Don’t you just love the feeling of being able to say you built something cool to non-tech people lol gives you a dose of confidence to do more projects - At least for me anyway since I’m still a beginner programmer 😅 Loved this tutorial btw especially how you showed step by step what you did as well as what was going wrong and what you did to fix it and why. I use VS Code too but regardless I get so excited when I’m able to understand the entire process 😊

Who said you can't be gorgeous as hell and smart as hell too! Young lady, I'm an old programmer from way back in the day when a computer use to fill up an entire room and not be as powerful as today's wristwatch! In this video you reminded me of days passed when we use to care about coding and freely sharing our knowledge with others. I'm not saying that others do not do as good a job as you did here, only I have yet to run across one that is as passionate as you appear to be! In closing, you are my new programming Rock Star! Carry on!

[@Master_of_Chess_Shorts]

Nice approach exposing the true process of debugging code that never works from the onset. You're very dynamic. I like the choice of music, original and entertaining. As for speech recognition, as you demonstrate, it is rarely effective and not really a reliable automation candidate. Background noise, speech fluctuations, complexity, prononciation, etc. makes it hard to adopt in real life applications. Great content anyhow, focusing on the process rather than the outcome. Keep it up!

[@TimKaseyMythHealer]

I use Alexa for a lot of this, but I think it’s very lacking. The problem with Alexa is, I try to have it bring up previous list of things to do, and it doesn’t allow you to pull up an old file for amending with voice. I don’t understand why they would omit such a very simple thing. I’m going to look into what you’ve done here, and try to do a variation.

Hi! Great video! Please, what software do you use to record the screen?

[@kevintjekevin]

I think you had to select the new Python environment after you made the virtual environment, at the right bottom of VS Code where it says Python and then the version number after it. I think that would fix the package not found error. (Or indeed restart VS Code, that works too.) Anyways great video!

[@rialzito]

I "learned" python 3 days ago with chatgpt. Apps I've already made: Keylogger that sends me logs and printscreens by email Application that counts the points in a tennis game when a player raises his arm (I'm still adjusting) Application that converts mp4 to wav, transcribes the audio and gives me a summary of the video (I also made one to transcribe what's app audios xD) Application that monitors when my favorite map is played in my online game and sends me a message on what's app letting me know Worm game in javascript and python Application that merges pdfs into a single file application where I speak the phrase in English and it evaluates my pronunciation And many other things (i would do even more with 4.0, character limitation in 3.5 is extremely annoying) Ps: My programming knowledge is like html stuff chatGPT is mankind's greatest invention and I have no doubt about it

[@technerd900]

5:32 the problem was that vs code was using the default python interpreter instead of using the virtual environment's interpreter. It happens frequently when setting up virtual environments and all you need to do is open the command palette using CTRL + SHIFT + P( or CMD + SHIFT +P in Mac) then type interpreter and you will find the virtual environment's interpreter that you just created

[@nicolasrnemeth]

The problem in Visual Studio Code not recognizing your newly installed pkgs / libraries was that the wrong interpreter was selected. This issue can be resolved by CMD + SHIFT + P. This opens the command palette. type in select interpreter: python. Then select the python interpreter with the right virtual environment and everything will work. Cheers Nicolas
