Introduction - ChatGPT Arms

ChatGPT Arms provides an open source & standardized interface for hooking up ChatGPT with the "Real World", aka API's and third party systems, etc. The "Arms" basically means allowing ChatGPT to interact with the real world and getting data from third party systems other than the trained data. This can be useful in many ways such as looking for the weather to viewing the nearby places in your location. See video intro below to see how this works:

How is this possible?

This project uses what we are calling "Arms", which is just an npm package that anyone can create, the package must implement one method called "processConversation", as the user converses with ChatGPT every arm will get a change to process the conversation using it's own logic, if that arm detects it needs to do something (ex: check the weather) it returns a prompt rather than sending it to chatGPT.

You can see a clear example in the WeatherArm Package by clicking here.
