This library provides a .NET integration for OpenAI and Azure OpenAI Service, enabling developers to easily incorporate ChatGPT capabilities into their applications. It offers robust features for managing conversations, handling streaming responses, and integrating with function and tool calling.

How It Works

The library leverages .NET's dependency injection for seamless integration. It manages conversation history using an in-memory cache with configurable message limits and expiration times, allowing for stateful interactions. The core functionality is exposed through an IChatGptClient interface, supporting both synchronous and streaming asynchronous calls, with options to customize model parameters, response formats, and system prompts.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install via NuGet: dotnet add package ChatGptNet
• Requires .NET 6.0 or later.
• Configuration involves registering the ChatGpt service with API keys and model details.
• Official documentation: https://github.com/marcominerva/ChatGptNet#documentation
