datakind / climate-change-assistant

An LLM agent to help people understand how climate change will affect their homes and what they can do about it

This chainlit app will use an OpenAI Assistant and the amazing Probable futures API to provide climate change information for a location, and provide some helpful resources for how to prepare.

The chainlit app is based off the cookbook example here.
