chatgpt+ access

I saw the project and thought it was going to hit chatgpt, but it looks like an openai api chat client. Are there plans to add chatgpt access from the cli instead of having to go through a web interface for it? So instead of it being a chatgpt-cli it's an openaiapi-tui right?

Well, OpenAI api allow access to the same chat models that power the web interface, so using the api (through this client or in any other way) Is actually using ChatGPT. Of course there are some features that the web interface has (Plugins for example) and chatgpt-cli does not. Some of them may be added in the future, some others doesn't makes sense in a cli tool.

Another topic may be that, if you have access to the subscription version of chatgpt, you probably don't want to also pay for the api fee. That's fine but then this is probably not the right tool. The basic idea of chatgpt-cli is just that the user provides an api key and start interacting with the chosen model. Just that. Many features may be added but I think the core should remain the same...

By the way, what are the features of the web interface that you would like to have in a command line version?
