PHP API for Copilot

[vauvarin]

Hi Johanne,

I'm thinking about using your plugin in my customer projects to see if it could be useful to them. There are some ideas I was thinking about:

I was wondering if it would be easy to obtain on the front (via a template or snippet) what you can do with your plugin in the Panel?

For example, code a form in a template to collect information on a public web page, use this information to build a prompt and transmit it to the AI model, then return the response in a variable to display it on the public page. It's like a AI Chabot but with specific form fields I would be able to guide the user in his/her request and build the prompt myself programmatically.

It would be also great to be able to transmit to the IA an URL from a JSON File and ask the IA to answer the prompt based on information coming from the JSON file transmitted. This way I could ask the IA to search information based on a prompt from the data of my own website or another website which has an API.

Don't know if it makes sense or if it's feasible ;-)

Thanks for your feedback
Gilles

Hi Gilles! Thanks for the detailed plugin ideas.

If I understand correctly, there are two ideas:

• PHP Copilot instance
• URL as context source in the Panel

Am I correct?

PHP Copilot Instance

Great idea. Although I feel like it's less controlled compared to generated text in the Kirby Panel. If someone don't control your caching well, every time a page is generated, the cost to the client could increase unpredictably. This should be used carefully. But in the end, that's a choice the developer should make, not myself.

I may add such a function in the future, but until then you can easily write a wrapper yourself with one of the many PHP clients, such as Open AI's PHP client. If you use GPT, you've already configured the token and can reuse it:

function completeText(string $prompt) {
  $apiKey = option('johannschopplich.copilot.providers.openai.apiKey');

  $client = OpenAI::client($apiKey);
  $response = $client->completions()->create([
      'model' => 'gpt-4',
      'prompt' => $prompt
  ]);
  
  return $response->choices[0]->text;
}

But this is just an example. A more sophisticated example would support a global copilot() method that works well inside Kirby's structure.

More Context Options in the Panel

Should not be that hard to implement. I will add this in the near future. 🙂
