on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Builds a ChatGPT-style bot over SMS/WhatsApp using the OpenAI API and Twilio, implemented in JavaScript with the Twilio serverless toolkit and text-davinci-003 model; deploys a serverless endpoint, wires Twilio to it, and demos a working number (+1 shown onstage) that responds to prompts. Covers API keys, token pricing, temperature and max_tokens tuning, and tradeoffs between latency, cost and reliability. Notes limitations like hallucinations and size limits but shows a runnable proof of concept.
