:warning: Note from developer (05/10/2024): :warning:

:airplane: I have recently relocated to another country and am currently focusing on settling into my new home and sorting out various logistics. As a result, progress on new features for Deep Chat has slowed down, and I apologize for the delays in responding to issues.

:heart: Deep Chat has been one of my most rewarding projects, and I’m eager to get back to my usual development pace as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time.

Announcing Deep Chat 2.0! We have redesigned and improved Deep Chat based on all of your generous feedback. It is now much easier to implement into any website and configure to provide the best possible chat experience for your users. Check out the release notes for more information.

:computer: Getting started

npm install deep-chat

If using React, install the following instead:

npm install deep-chat-react

Simply add the following to your markup:

<deep-chat></deep-chat>

The exact syntax for the above will vary depending on the framework of your choice (see here).

:zap: Connect

Connecting to a service is simple, all you need to do is define its API details using the request property:

<deep-chat request='{"url":"https://service.com/chat"}'/>

The service will need to be able to handle request and response formats used in Deep Chat. Please read the Connect section in documentation and check out the server template examples.

Alternatively, if you want to connect without changing the target service, use the interceptor properties to augment the transferred objects or the handler function to control the request code.

:electric_plug: Direct connection

Connect to popular AI APIs directly from the browser via the use of the directConnection property:

<deep-chat directConnection='{"openAI":true}'/>

<deep-chat directConnection='{"openAI":{"key": "optional-key-here"}}'/>

Please note that this approach should be used for local/prototyping/demo purposes ONLY as it exposes the API Key to the browser. When ready to go live, please switch to using the connect property described above along with a proxy service.

Currently supported direct API connections: OpenAI, HuggingFace, Cohere, Stability AI, Azure, AssemblyAI

:robot: Web model

No servers, no connections, host an LLM model entirely on your browser.

Simply add the deep-chat-web-llm module and define the webModel property:

<deep-chat webModel="true" />

:camera: :microphone: Camera and Microphone

Use Deep Chat to capture photos with your webcam and record audio with the microphone. You can enable this using the camera and microphone properties:

<deep-chat camera="true" microphone="true" ...other properties />

:microphone: :sound: Speech

https://github.com/OvidijusParsiunas/deep-chat/assets/18709577/e103a42e-b3a7-4449-b9db-73fed6d7876e

Input text with your voice using Speech To Text capabilities and have the responses read out to you with Text To Speech. You can enable this functionality via the speechToText and textToSpeech properties.

<deep-chat speechToText="true" textToSpeech="true" ...other properties />

:beginner: Examples

Check out live codepen examples for your UI framework/library of choice:

Setting up your own server has never been easier with the following server templates. From creating your own service to establishing proxies for other APIs such as OpenAI, everything has been documented with clear examples to get you up and running in seconds:

All examples are ready to be deployed on a hosting platform such as Vercel.
