Taking Your Next Steps

00:00 Now that you’re a chatbot guru, what’s your next step? Well, the world’s your oyster, but please consider these four points.

00:11 Security, firstly. I think I’ve been pretty clear about keeping your API key secure, but just in case, please always keep your API key secure. And cost management, then, so how OpenAI charges you for what and how much, that’s likely to change over time.

00:31 So please always monitor your usage costs. Don’t get caught out by the cost of using your chatbot. Code improvements, then, handle errors professionally. Don’t just let the code crash.

00:44 Use try/except, for example, and use error trapping. Perfect user interaction, so you can work on the prompts for your input instruction, or you can even consider building a GUI, so a graphical user interface.

01:00 Conversation context, well, yes. So you can maintain conversation history by including previous messages in the input list in your code. So this allows AI to remember the context.

01:14 Well, remember, I should say maintain the context because AI isn’t a person. And so please, if you’re storing responses though, and if you’re handling personal data, please make sure you handle that data appropriately.

01:30 Please check the laws that apply to the country that you’re working in. And that brings you to the end of this course. What’s left is for you to have a look at the summary of what you’ve learned in this course in the next lesson.
