Create an Application using Flutter

Tools Required

To build this app, you require the following tools on your machine :

1. Visual Studio Code (Recommended IDE)
2. Android Emulator / Original Device for testing.
3. Flutter SDK
4. Flutter Plugin for VS Code.

Create a New Project

Follow these steps to create a brand new project to make building the app.

• Create and name a folder of your choice.
• Open VS Code and open the newly created folder in it.
• Open the command palette by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + P and type Flutter.

• Choose Flutter: New Project from the listed options.
• Select Application from the drop down and it will open in the current folder you are in.

• Now name the app as per your choice, We are naming it with “chatbot” (Use lowercase convention).

A ChatBot is a computer program that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand customers’ questions and give responses to them simulating human behavior. Building our own ChatBot from scratch requires us to train the Machine Learning (ML) model with rigorous amounts of text-based data, providing it with different contexts of real-world conversations. Now we don’t need to perform that meticulous task, as OpenAI already developed ChatGPT which was trained on billions of words of textual data which made it very powerful.

In this article, we will explain the total process of building a Mobile ChatBot Application using ChatGPT API and Flutter. We will be using Flutter Framework to build the application for Android. Flutter is an open-source framework developed and supported by Google to build and deploy hybrid applications quickly.
