This project crawled the docs and generated the file that I uploaded as the basis for the custom GPT. [Try it out yourself](https://chat.openai.com/g/g-kywiqipmR-builder-io-assistant) by asking questions about how to integrate Builder.io into a site. > Note that you may need a paid ChatGPT plan to access this feature ## Get started ### Running locally #### Clone the repository Be sure you have Node.js >= 16 installed. ```sh git clone https://github.com/builderio/gpt-crawler ``` #### Install dependencies ```sh npm i ``` #### Configure the crawler Open [config.ts](config.ts) and edit the `url` and `selector` properties to match your needs. E.g. to crawl the Builder.io docs to make our custom GPT you can use: ```ts export const defaultConfig: Config = { url: "https://www.builder.io/c/docs/developers", match: "https://www.builder.io/c/docs/**", selector: `.docs-builder-container`, maxPagesToCrawl: 50, outputFileName: "output.json", }; ``` See [config.ts](src/config.ts) for all available options. Here is a sample of the common configuration options: ``` … ``` #### Run your crawler ```sh npm start ``` ### Alternative methods #### [Running in a container with Docker](./containerapp/README.md) To obtain the `output.json` with a containerized execution, go into the `containerapp` directory and modify the `config.ts` as shown above. The `output.json`file should be generated in the data folder. Note: the `outputFileName` property in the `config.ts` file in the `containerapp` directory is configured to work with the container. #### Running as an API To run the app as an API server you will need to do an `npm install` to install the dependencies. The server is written in Express JS. To run the server. `npm run start:server` to start the server. The server runs by default on port 3000. You can use the endpoint `/crawl` with the post request body of config json to run the crawler. The api docs are served on the endpoint `/api-docs` and are served using swagger. To modify the environment you can copy over the `.env.example` to `.env` and set your values like port, etc. to override the variables for the server. ### Upload your data to OpenAI The crawl will generate a file called `output.json` at the root of this project. Upload that [to OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants/overview) to create your custom assistant or custom GPT. #### Create a custom GPT Use this option for UI access to your generated knowledge that you can easily share with others > Note: you may need a paid ChatGPT plan to create and use custom GPTs right now 1. Go to [https://chat.openai.com/](https://chat.openai.com/) 2. Click your name in the bottom left corner 3. Choose "My GPTs" in the menu 4. Choose "Create a GPT" 5. Choose "Configure" 6. Under "Knowledge" choose "Upload a file" and upload the file you generated 7. if you get an error about the file being too large, you can try to split it into multiple files and upload them separately using the option maxFileSize in the config.ts file or also use tokenization to reduce the size of the file with the option maxTokens in the config.ts file #### Create a custom assistant Use this option for API access to your generated knowledge that you can integrate into your product. 1. Go to [https://platform.openai.com/assistants](https://platform.openai.com/assistants) 2. Click "+ Create" 3. Choose "upload" and upload the file you generated ## Contributing Know how to make this project better? Send a PR!
