ExclamationGPT!!! Powered by GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, this bot can access specific websites and use specific APIs that the user gives it... something ChatGPT cannot do!

Are you comparing ChatGPT (3.5 with no internet access) against "ExclamationGPT" which uses GPT4 with internet access?

ExclamationGPT can use either GPT 3.5 or 4 depending on how you command it. Regardless of what model you pick, it can access specific URLs and use specific API endpoints that the user gives it; something that neither GPT 3.5 nor GPT 4 can do on their own. I encourage you to try it out or at least join the Discord server and see for yourself.

Functional calling exists - https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling.

Although I have played with it and it doesn't seem that polished (doesn't wanna call my function!) but it is there.

It does not appear to be in-chat. I want it to be easy for users to just provide API endpoints or URLs in-chat and the bot figures out what to do with it based on the user's prompt. That's basically what Exclamation does.

Function call is there only for api access, unless you create a ChatGPT plugin.

Also, the api allows the developer to force gpt to call a specific function.

Thanks, I might swing around and look at it again. For a side project I went back to normal chat and parsing between ``` and ```

I'd clean up the sign up process a bit.

Use PayPal or Stripe asking for a credit card number directly is a big red flag.

Yeah that's a good suggestion, thanks. I'm using Authorize.net because that's what I'm most familiar with, I'll try to figure out how to setup PayPal payments as well!

GPT-4 does use the internet.

If you give GPT-4 a specific URL or API endpoint, it doesn't work. GPT-4 can only search the web.
