OpenAI API Integration

#390 Feb 26, 2023 pro

In this episode, we have a look at using the OpenAI API to create an AI Response to comments. Instead of simply using the API directly with Net::HTTP, we're also going to create an API wrapper around Net::HTTP so that we can simplify the responsibility of our OpenAI integration.

Middleman is a static site generator using all the shortcuts and tools in modern web development. In this episode, we look at creating a static site using TailwindCSS and one of the TailwindUI templates. We also take an interesting approach to keep the development experience close to one that we would expect in a Rails application.
