great content, how are you downloading the images because i get an error when trying. and they also disappear after a while

@@theadaloguy after like 20 min or so the photos disappear for some odd reason that i have yet to understand, if anyone else can elaborate on that as to why this is happening please do so.

[@TubeYounes]

I might have just found the tool I needed for years, question, how do I change this to have a simple interface, where there is no prompt and response, but something more like open ai, or text messaging your friend, where one text input exists, and when you hit enter, it goes up, then AI answers, and it goes up, with a little cursor animation like chatgpt has to show its writing , or 3 little dots blinking while AI is answering, would love to see a video for this. thanks so much for this.

[@ryandoyle]

Thanks mate. The input field button function (call OpenAI api) only works with small inputs. I’m sending a template for reference on how to respond. But it almost instantly stops with any long input. Is there a character input limit ? and how can I fix this? I can’t add much history or training data.

[@theadaloguy]

@ryandoyle are you sending multi-line text? I think that could be the issue, if you test single line vs multiline of the same length

[@ryandoyle]

@@theadaloguy it seems to be when I try send code, because I’m sending html rich text code, I’m asking it to respond like the template. But I can’t even send the template code. Only parts of it, I’m trying to figure out what part of the code is causing a problem in the send function, any ideas why I can’t send code?

[@theadaloguy]

@ryandoyle another thing to try is use adalo url encode component on the input first before sending. Either send that directly to the ai (it should still understand), or url decode it with something else in the middle like a make webhook, or a Xano endpoint

[@ryandoyle]

@@theadaloguywow! it seems to be the " character. The function will not work if this " character appears in any input. Eg Can you try it your end? The 2 little straight lines "these" not the ”quotation“ Have you encounter this problem? That character appears a lot in code, if I can’t input that character I can’t build my app, I don’t wanna switch platforms again, I like this one 😭 Or I could replace that character with something else and tell the gpt to recognise it as the right character 😂 But I didnt wanna get that messy, any idea bro?

[@theadaloguy]

@ryandoyle it makes sense that " can break a json payload. Did you see my comment about using urlencode component in adalo?

[@michaelsolimini5843]

is it possible to ask a follow up based upon the first response?

[@theadaloguy]

Hi Michael, can you give an example? This might be possible as shown here, or it might be something better with Chat-GPT. I'd have to look into it a little.

[@michaelsolimini5843]

@@theadaloguy hey! thanks for the response. so the way my app is set up is the users as a question that routes the way you described in the video to GPT-3. the response then prints on the next screen, as yours does in the video. then on that next screen where the AI response is printed, i want the user to be able to add an additional input that then enables them to have a second tailored response based off the AI's first response. for example: user "generate me a sample SAT question", AI: generates question, user input 2: "give me the answer to that question and explain why it is that answer", AI: generates second response while retaining what the first generated question was. i got around this in my app by instead storing the first generated question as a database entry, sending it to zapier where a zap runs that says "give answer to (stored database question)" which then sends back to adalo and updates a "answer" database field and prints in a 'question log' screen i created. this is kind of a crude workaround to that that functionality i would like to implement, not sure if its possible due to the token length possibly?

[@theadaloguy]

@@michaelsolimini5843 doing it like this I can see token length could be a problem. I'll look into using chat gpt via api when I get a chance and feedback.

[@RowanSheridan]

Would be good to see a custom prompt, eg summarise content that a user can input. That's what im struggling with at the moment. Can't seem to get it working.

[@theadaloguy]

It works well if you give it examples inside the prompt

[@theadaloguy]

I might do a follow up video with a bit more at some point on more advanced prompts. This is more basic to get people started

[@RowanSheridan]

@@theadaloguy Yeah that would be really useful. Thank you

Thanks for the video 😊 I’m having an issue with the test run It says: Header name must be a valid HTTP token ["authorization "] I copied the url straight from the curl Any assistance is greatly appreciated Thanks!!!

[@theadaloguy]

First thing is make sure there are no trailing spaces. Secondly, delete the space between bearer and the token, and make it again. This might be a copy and pasting issue.

[@LiciaRester-CreosCompany]

Thanks for the video. I want to house my custom GPTs inside of Adalo and have openAI run those GPTs inside of Adalo so that customers can't grab the GPT urls and use them outside of my membership. Is that possible? Thank you!

[@seanthorpe66]

Is there a way to have it create three options and then being able to edit them before you send them?

[@theadaloguy]

Not sure exactly what you mean but you can return the responses into text input fields, which would then give the user the ability to edit them before performing another action

[@seanthorpe66]

@@theadaloguy oh thanks. Is there a way to have the prompt base it’s response on information in the user’s profile? That’s what I’m really struggling with at the moment. I want to have the user complete their profile once and then be able to generate responses based on that data making it bespoke to the user.

[@theadaloguy]

@@seanthorpe66 yeah just feed in user data from database into the prompt for example a prompt could be like this: " User name Ben User age 24 User location USA User favorite sport football Based on the above information, give a brief introduction to the user "

[@seanthorpe66]

Would that be written within the json script? With the name etc being custom inputs?
