Hosted ChatUI provides a no-frills UI that allows you to interact with the OpenAI API
For many OpenAI customers, GPT-3.5, available for free via ChatGPT, is sufficient for many tasks. GPT-4 may be needed for more complex tasks, but that need is infrequent enough that it is not cost-effective for users to pay $20 per month for access to GPT-4 via ChatGPT Plus. Solutions like Hosted ChatUI allow users to pay only for what they use (see OpenAI API pricing).
Hosted ChatUI replicates basic ChatGPT functionality, such as saving the user's conversation history. Hosted ChatUI does not currently support other ChatGPT Plus features, such as image generation, multi-modal prompts, etc.
Submit your OpenAI API key to use Hosted ChatUI. Your API key is stored in your browser's local storage; my server never sees your API key (request to the OpenAI API also happen client-side). I store only a hash of your API key (SHA-256, essentially impossible to recover your API key from the hash) in order to store your conversation history for your convenience.
If you want a solution where I don't see or store any of your data, check out Portable ChatUI.
I would love to receive any feedback:
