This project provides a simple PHP-based web application that clones the ChatGPT interface, allowing users to interact with OpenAI's language models. It's designed for developers and users interested in a straightforward, self-hosted chat interface powered by the OpenAI API, with chat history saved via cookies.

How It Works

The application leverages the orhanerday/OpenAI PHP library to communicate with OpenAI's API. It utilizes PHP's built-in web server for local hosting and streams responses in real-time. Chat history is managed client-side using cookies, offering a simple persistence mechanism without requiring a backend database for basic usage.
