We need a simple web app for our GPT wrapper

If you're building an AI powered application, you want to just get something published to get quick user feedback, not implement 10,000 lines of React boilerplate.

1. Scenario
LOCAL COFFEE SHOP - WEDNESDAY
You're sitting in a cozy local coffee shop on a Wednesday, laptop open and ready to code. Ashton Donaghy, the Head of Performance at Bank of Yu, has entrusted us with the task of creating a web app for managing loans to friends. It's our chance to prove ourselves and showcase our skills. With HTMX and Flask, we'll be able to build a powerful app that can call Open AI and perform AI tasks. Imagine being able to generate jokes based on user input and even save them in a database.

I'm really counting on you to deliver a top-notch web app for rating loans. The success of our bank depends on it. As a pet project lets try and build something that rates jokes first, so I can check you know how to build something secure. Then we can modify it for the loan task later.

Make sure you pay attention to the HTMX and Flask tutorial, as those skills will be crucial in creating a powerful and user-friendly app.

We need to impress our users and stand out from the competition. I have faith in you, so let's make it happen!

HTMX and Flask: A Powerful Combination for Building AI Web Apps

In today's world, AI technology is rapidly advancing, and more and more businesses and developers are looking to integrate AI capabilities into their web applications. However, building AI-powered web apps can often be a complex and time-consuming task, requiring knowledge of various programming languages and frameworks. But what if there was a simpler and more efficient way to create these apps? Enter HTMX and Flask.

HTMX is a cutting-edge JavaScript library that enables developers to build web applications using HTML, CSS, and Python. It eliminates the need for complex JavaScript frameworks like React or Angular, making it an attractive option for developers who are more comfortable with Python. On the other hand, Flask is a lightweight web framework written in Python. It provides a simple and efficient way to build web applications, making it a popular choice among developers.

In a recent tutorial, a developer demonstrates how to create a basic web app that calls OpenAI and performs various AI tasks using HTMX and Flask. The app allows users to input a topic and generates jokes related to that topic. Users can then rate the jokes, and the ratings are stored in a database. The app updates in real-time without the need for page refreshes, providing a seamless user experience.

The tutorial highlights the simplicity and power of HTMX and Flask in building AI web apps. The developer explains that all the logic and functionality of the app is contained in a single Python file, app.py. This file establishes a connection to a SQLite database and defines different routes for the homepage, generating jokes, and rating jokes. The app.py file also handles the communication with OpenAI to retrieve and save the generated jokes.

One of the key features of HTMX is its ability to update the HTML of a web page without the need for JavaScript. Instead of manually manipulating the DOM, HTMX allows developers to send back updated HTML from the server and seamlessly update the page. In the tutorial, the developer uses HTMX to update the like and dislike buttons for each joke based on user ratings. This eliminates the need for complex JavaScript code and simplifies the development process.

Flask and HTMX together provide a powerful and efficient solution for building AI web apps. Developers can leverage the simplicity of Flask and the real-time updating capabilities of HTMX to create dynamic and interactive applications. The tutorial demonstrates how easy it is to get started with Flask and HTMX by simply installing the necessary libraries and running a few commands.

3. Tutorial

  Hey, I'm going to show you how to create a basic web app that calls open AI and does some AI tasks. So the stack we're using is flask in his chair, max. If I did the simplest it's all in Python. So it's much easier for people who have primarily been coding in Jupiter. Notebooks. So this is the application. Just going to say put in a topic and it'll generate a joke. Or generate three jokes and then you can rate them.
