This is an application that is primarily meant to be ran locally (for now) as a way to explore and experiment with gpt-4 prompt chaining as a "tool for thought"""
It's got a lot of moving parts 😅:
- A database to store our data
- An ORM to interact with our database
- Authentication
- Serverless Queueing
- Email sending
- Websockets
- CMS
As a basis we used T3 Stack to bootstrap the project using the NextAuth.js, Tailwind, tRPC, and Drizzle options.
Drizzle is going to use Planetscale as the database, which will allow us to leverage edge functions.
We are using the Next.js app router. We also need email so we will use Resend and react-email.
Additionally, we are going to use Sanity.io for our CMS. This will allow us to create a simple CMS for defining dynamic chaining workflows and other things.
This is kind of a chore, but it's not too bad. We need to set up accounts with:
The primary goal of the app is to demonstrate how to use Inngest to generate chained conversations with GPT-4. This approach is useful for creating higher quality generated text that is acceptable to use for customer communications. It's also interesting for processing text and general exploration in the gpt-4 space.
Here's an example from a production application that's using this approach:
Various events in the application trigger async workflows that occur in queued serverless background jobs.
- an event is received
- steps/actions are performed
- we can sleep or wait for other events within the workflow
- we can send events that trigger other workflows
