OpenAI APIs & How Tos

This article gives you an overview of how to use OpenAI’s API in a way to more easily and time-efficiently tap into the power of OpenAI and ChatGPT.

I show you here various example of how it works and add small Scripts over time that you can use for your own business. I will share with you how I am doing it step by step, so that you can use that as well.

Step 1: How to setup your Python environment to get started

To make sure that you are able to use all these scripts and understand how they work, you first need to set up your environment. This means, you need to install the right programs and tools to get started.

In this video I share with you how it works:

You learn the following:

1. Install Anaconda Navigator

2. Using Anacoda Prompt

3. Getting your OpenAI API and inputting it into your computer for permanent use

4. Creating Python Text Files to input your Scripts (Two options)

5. Getting started executing Python Code and seeing your first results 🙂

Step 2: Creating a virtual environment

To make sure that we have a clean environment and are not messing with some dependencies, it is important to set up a so-called “virtual environment”.

Let us do that and type in the following things into Anaconda Prompt:
