AI Chatbot

A Python-based conversational chatbot built with the OpenAI API, featuring short-term memory and a modular, extensible architecture.

What is this?

This is a prototype of a private, uncensored, and customizable AI chatbot. I built it while learning how to properly design real-world chatbot systems — moving beyond basic prompt-response examples.

Why This Project?

The goal was to create a solid foundation that emphasizes:

• Proper conversational memory
• Modular and maintainable code
• Tool integration readiness
• Security and reliability

✨ Features

• Conversational chatbot powered by OpenAI models
• Short-term memory with automatic token limit management
• Clean, modular code structure
• Designed for easy extension with tools and long-term memory
• Focus on reducing common issues (e.g., repetitive echoing)

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Python 3.10+
• OpenAI API
• python-dotenv
• Virtual environments
• Standard Python tooling
