Chatbot Application

This is a chatbot application built using React, Node.js, and the ChatGPT API.

Description

The chatbot application allows users to interact with a chatbot powered by the ChatGPT API. Users can input messages, and the chatbot will respond with generated text based on the provided input. The application utilizes a client-server architecture, with the React frontend handling user input and displaying chat messages, and the Node.js backend communicating with the ChatGPT API to generate responses.

Features

• User-friendly interface for interacting with the chatbot
• Real-time chat messages displayed in the interface
