Automating My Life with Python & ChatGPT: Coding My Own Virtual Voice Assistant | Code With Me 

It is refreshing to see someone working through problems as things don't always work out the way you want.... ever! Most people just show how everything works perfectly. Thank you 😊.

At the 6 minute mark the reason Intellisense was not able to see the installed libraries was most likely because VSC was still using the default interpreter and not the one associated with the virtual environment. To change it: 1. Press Ctrl + Shift + P (I presume Cmd + Shift + P on MacOS). 2. Type interpreter and click on "Python: Select Interpreter". 3. Choose the interpreter associated with the virtual environment, usually has the environment name written somewhere beside it. 4. Reload window, et voila.

Thanks for not editing out your debugging and difficulties in the video - it's really helpful to new programmers like me. It's super frustrating watching people who act like they get everything right the first time when most of programming is actually about problem solving. Code will likely never work exactly the way we want it to. Thanks

I like how you included troubleshooting, because running code off the Internet doesn't always work as you think it should.

Thank you for sharing. I may do the same. I created my assistant using python, ChatGPT, Google's text-to-speech API, and I love it! It can tell me my schedule, check the weather, and just have a general conversation about anything. I'm steadily adding more functionality and personalities. I even created a digital twin, which is kinda weird.

She's is very natural, real and humorous. Learnt something big from her and I've subscribed to her channel.

I've been working with ChatGPT for a few months, learning Python along the way. Similar to you, I have experience in automation and scripting through my past work with AutoIt. Python has proven efficient and user-friendly, especially with its threading capabilities. However, I believe there's a crucial element I'm missing when interacting with ChatGPT. To avoid potential API costs, I've mainly used the web interface. The computational limit in ChatGPT-4 can be an issue, as the AI language model might lose focus on the task. This makes resuming code generation challenging, prompting me to modularize my projects. Visual Studio Code offers great ChatGPT plugins, but they often depend on the API, which might cause a loss of the "personal connection" with the bot. My question is: how do you work with ChatGPT? Should I stop relying on it so much and only use it for specific debugging purposes? I feel like I've become somewhat reliant on ChatGPT, repeatedly asking it to create Python scripts. Although I'm excited about this technology and the opportunities it presents, I think I might not be using it optimally.

This was awesome! I added Chat-GPT through the API and now I'm able to use my assistant to ask ChatGPT questions :)

This is more a lifestyle channel than a tech channel. Never did I imagine the domain of the nerd goes mainstream - lol

The ChatGPT topic was interesting when you exposed its functionality with Python and that it favors the creation of the virtual assistant. Teaching is valuable, Tiff.🥰✌

With python difflib and get_close_match function you don't have to perfectly spell out the command and still can get a match. Also you can let chatgpt generate some commands that have the same meaning so that when you tell the command slightly different it would detect variations of it.

I love how realistic this is! This gives me confidence that I could do this too!

A voice recog project that even remotely works in less than 30 min. Fantastic! Very powerful example.

Thank you for this video. It reminded me of the good times of how I got excited about computer science. These days it's all very stressful leetcoding all the time - all the joy has been taken out of it...

the cutest programmer, you have inspired me on learning Python

Just want to say thank you for making this video. I was running into problems with speech recognition. This gives me inspiration to go back to an earlier project.

Love your examples, talk about good code documentation ❤

That first drink out of the tube always be warm 😂

Very sympathetic, especially since it's not typically clinically clean tutorial, because you show your mistakes and a good way to deal with them. Very refreshing!

You had completed the task in a Wonderful way

This tutorial looks really interesting! Can't wait to learn how to code my own virtual voice assistant and automate my life.

I could have easily been a tech girly, because when you started you sounded exactly like ME. I want to automate any and everything in my lifeeeee

The smile on your face discovering that you now can do 'anything' to your hearts desire, is well worth all the hard work behind it. Gratitude.

I very much liked the video. Showing the process and errors which can occur is very nice to see, because you feel like you are not alone. Then there are other tutorials where it seems they get everything right the first time (which they ofc don't).

Very well explained and tried well honestly. Great job, Tiff!

Who said you can't be gorgeous as hell and smart as hell too! Young lady, I'm an old programmer from way back in the day when a computer use to fill up an entire room and not be as powerful as today's wristwatch! In this video you reminded me of days passed when we use to care about coding and freely sharing our knowledge with others. I'm not saying that others do not do as good a job as you did here, only I have yet to run across one that is as passionate as you appear to be! In closing, you are my new programming Rock Star! Carry on!

This is so cool! I've always wanted to learn how to build my own voice assistant. Can't wait to follow along and automate some tasks! 🤩

I read automating my "Wife" with Python that's how you got my click.

I really managed to make my own voice assistant with python, without ever having programmed before. very interesting for the future what I will be able to do with chat gpt

I didn't know you existed. Kudos for your parents, the world, and you, of course!

I really like your teaching style and the honesty about the debugging process, but the title misled me a bit because it gave me the impression the video was going to be about creating a virtual voice assistant that actually harnessed the power of the GPT-3 API. In reality, ChatGPT factored very little into the project - it did generate code that allows the script to understand the words being said, but what is then done with that information has to be painstakingly programmed in from some hardcoded keywords, which can be useful but is also where we were many years ago.

It's nice.. easy explain is help to understand for beginner.. It's helpful for me

Bula Vinaka - Thanks Tiff! You are doing a very good job teaching dummies like me!!. Greetings from Fiji Islands

That music !!!! Makes me feel anxious ! Great information though!

you already beat alexas functionality in a prompt. amazing.

Im learning coding and engineering just so I can automate boring tasks in my life like cooking, doing the laundry and throwing garbages.

This is exactly the content I'm looking for, thank you

Hey great video, I would love to see a video on creating the code for turning an old radio into a personal assistant. Like being able to tell me the weather, play music, turn on lights on the radio etc I would be a cool way to turn a beautiful old thing into something useful

Oooh I thought this was about creating a personal assistant that utilises ChatGPT API to work. Once I realised and looked at the video in the correct context, it's a great tutorial for that level. =)

omg, it's a tech youtuber who's home looks like actual adults live there. I'm in shock lol

Just found your channel and subbed. Also just finished Arduino and RC cars. Python is next. Thank you for the great video.

awesome works, i was looking something similar but with python already you have many tools, i love it too

Remind me to fire that voice assistant 😅 kidding. Great video, thanks!

Amazing video and keep it up😊😊👍👍😊😊

That is what exactly I'm looking for🎉❤

I was really trying to focus on the content but she's so beautiful had to watch twice to see the prompts lol.

This helps alot when you need to make and specific project and some times you have a mistake, I like your videos and how you explain it, thanks

I really like the audio engineering in this video.

Nice approach exposing the true process of debugging code that never works from the onset. You're very dynamic. I like the choice of music, original and entertaining. As for speech recognition, as you demonstrate, it is rarely effective and not really a reliable automation candidate. Background noise, speech fluctuations, complexity, prononciation, etc. makes it hard to adopt in real life applications. Great content anyhow, focusing on the process rather than the outcome. Keep it up!

Awesome video 😎 👍

Lovely what you can do with chatgpt Chears. Thanks for charing.

greath more like this👍

Oh, I absolutely love that you did not edit out the part that didn’t work

This is brilliant.

Always on top ! Keep Going honey ❤️📌

I think you had to select the new Python environment after you made the virtual environment, at the right bottom of VS Code where it says Python and then the version number after it. I think that would fix the package not found error. (Or indeed restart VS Code, that works too.) Anyways great video!

I would like to explain technical things so easy like you do 👏

You know your legit when you use IT Crowd references. Which makes me feel old, but good to see you young kids using them.

I am building something very similar with PHP, but way more complex. Cool i am not the only one who see promise in this tech.

I added "be my guru" to the request for the assistant code. "be my guru" command, which uses a web search to find recent news articles related to the user's query and speak them out loud. Note that the search is limited to news articles by including the tbm=nws parameter in the URL.Thanks for lhe lessen.

Hi Tiff, whats the code to distract me from starring at your gorgeous eyes🤩

You are an impressive young lady. Keep the content coming!

5:50 I thought it only happened to me xD. Interesting topic!

I use Alexa for a lot of this, but I think it’s very lacking. The problem with Alexa is, I try to have it bring up previous list of things to do, and it doesn’t allow you to pull up an old file for amending with voice. I don’t understand why they would omit such a very simple thing. I’m going to look into what you’ve done here, and try to do a variation.

Loved it! You have given me some inspiration! Thank you for that. 🙂

People encountering problem with pyaudio: errors like no module name setuptools can be resolved by installing 'dtutils' or rolling back python interpreter to 3.6.0 or less

You just earned a subscriber 👊

yOUR VIDEO MAKES incorect ILLUSION THAT CODING IS EASY. As we, hwo code cna see you had many issues behind the scenes, that you did not include in the time. Alsocode that was generated by ChatGPT is like 0.03% of whole code to achieve what you achieved. People may think it's super easy and requires few lines of code.

The problem in Visual Studio Code not recognizing your newly installed pkgs / libraries was that the wrong interpreter was selected. This issue can be resolved by CMD + SHIFT + P. This opens the command palette. type in select interpreter: python. Then select the python interpreter with the right virtual environment and everything will work. Cheers Nicolas

Fun! I uploaded a video today of ChatGPT helping me code Tetris. It's early days but I'm buying the hype... 👨‍💻

Python + Automation + A extremely hot blonde = Instant subscriber thanks 😎

I "learned" python 3 days ago with chatgpt. Apps I've already made: Keylogger that sends me logs and printscreens by email Application that counts the points in a tennis game when a player raises his arm (I'm still adjusting) Application that converts mp4 to wav, transcribes the audio and gives me a summary of the video (I also made one to transcribe what's app audios xD) Application that monitors when my favorite map is played in my online game and sends me a message on what's app letting me know Worm game in javascript and python Application that merges pdfs into a single file application where I speak the phrase in English and it evaluates my pronunciation And many other things (i would do even more with 4.0, character limitation in 3.5 is extremely annoying) Ps: My programming knowledge is like html stuff chatGPT is mankind's greatest invention and I have no doubt about it

Lets Automate our lives with Tech great vid keep it up tiff

Great!

Thanks Tiff, this video is great! I learnt something today 🙂

I just suscribed to ur channel your re amazing

Jarvis create location B1 : Jarvis the Ibuprofen is in location B1 : Jarvis where is the Ibuprofen? ( the Ibuprofen in located in location B1) : Jarvis the Ibuprofen is not in located in location B1 : Jarvis where is the Ibuprofen? (I do not know the location of Ibuprofen) : Jarvis the Ibuprofen is in location B1 : Jarvis where is the Ibuprofen? ( the Ibuprofen in located in location B1)::: This would be a great life tool I think.

Honestly Such a great video. RU-vid referring good videos today

you are so funny when you said no one said it is perfect lol

5:32 the problem was that vs code was using the default python interpreter instead of using the virtual environment's interpreter. It happens frequently when setting up virtual environments and all you need to do is open the command palette using CTRL + SHIFT + P( or CMD + SHIFT +P in Mac) then type interpreter and you will find the virtual environment's interpreter that you just created

Awesome demo. Thanks Tiff n Tech

Those eyes and smile, you are gorgeous !!! You make me love Python !!

incredible video

Here is an idea. What about creating an app that will allow you to schedule post for say the top 10 social media networks at the same time, I know there are some online apps for this, but they as you know can get pricey. This would be nice to have just for oneself.

beautiful and smart wahouuuu

Totally agree with your conclusions

Thanks for sharing ! Wondering how to make the voice sounds like a real person, rather than a machine. Any suggestions?

Love this. learning this

Background music track "from 5:40 to 5.55" mind blowing😇😇😎

Guessing the reason the installs didn’t work at first is because the vs code python interpreter wasn’t changed to the venv version of python. To fix, cmd + shift + p python interpreter select your venv version of python

I am totally nerding out on your video, but I keep trying to Shazam the background music in the first 3 minutes, it's not coming up, who is the musician?

oh hell yeah. You go Tiff!

Great content.

actually, im not able to install pyaudio in my mac m1 I'm also not able to install the homebrew

My Vs Code creates whole different folders in the env. I got "Include", "Lib" and "Scripts". Can someone tell me why and what the difference is?

Really nice tutorial, i have the project to use Python + GPT-3 to make Pepper Robot a more real conversational assistant

At 6 min the problem was a vscode problem. You don't need to shutdown and restart vscode. You have to check on the lower right side that your python env is the good one. This problem occur when you set your python env with the terminal and not with vscode directly ;)

i tried it. it does work. only problem i don't understand my computer. it does talk weird. it uses kind of codes to talk to me?

wonderful show😄

Great video.. really like how approachable these vids are... can I ask what software and setup you have for producing these demo style videos please?
