Build a functional AI powered chatbot in tldraw

In this tutorial you'll learn how to create a fully functioning ai powered chatbot inside of tldraw.

Step by step guide

Step 1 - Design the Chatbot Interface

Start by opening TLDraw. Here, you'll create the interface for your chatbot. Draw a simple chatbot-style interface, which includes boxes for displaying messages and sending replies. Label a section as "Type message here" and maybe add a small arrow for visual guidance.

Step 2 - Add Your OpenAI API Key

Next, you'll need your OpenAI API key. In TLDraw, add a section where you can input this key. Remember, the API key is essential for the chatbot to access OpenAI's functionalities. (Note: Ensure your API key remains private and secure.)

Step 3 - Reference Documentation

To ensure your chatbot works correctly, add references to the OpenAI documentation in your TLDraw canvas. This helps the chatbot understand where to fetch necessary information from.

Step 4 - Paste in the OpenAI API Key

Enter your OpenAI API key in the designated section. (Reminder: The API key used in the tutorial is revoked, so you'll need your own.)

Step 5 - Add a Screenshot for Reference

Go to the OpenAI documentation, particularly to the chatbot section, and take a screenshot. Paste this screenshot into your TLDraw canvas. This visual reference will assist in building the chatbot accurately.

Step 6 - Incorporate API Reference Code

Add a line of code in TLDraw that instructs the chatbot to use a specific URL as an API reference. This step is crucial for the chatbot to know where to fetch its data and how to operate.

Step 7 - Test Your Chatbot

Once everything is set up, select all components in TLDraw and activate them to see if your chatbot is functional. Test it by sending a message and checking for a response.

Step 8 - Explore and Customize

Dive into the code to understand which models your chatbot is using. You can further customize the chatbot, including its styling (this tutorial uses Tailwind CSS for styling). Feel free to explore and tweak the code to better fit your needs.

And that's it! You've successfully created an AI-powered chatbot inside TLDraw. Enjoy experimenting with your new creation!
