Building Clippy-AI

Build Clippy-AI yourself!

Prerequisites

You will need the following libraries and/or software installed before getting to the fun!

• RevitPy
• Python, pip
• OpenAI Api Key

Installing Client Application Locally

1. Install RevitPy
2. Point RevitPy Settings to clippyai\frontend e.g. C:\Users\RFeathers\Documents\GitHub\clippy-ai\frontend
3. Reload RevitPy

Running Server Application Locally

1. Set up Local Python Environment
2. Copy OpenAI ApiKey as chatgptapikey.env file in server folder (just the key, no name needed)
3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. python main.py

Short-Term Roadmap

• Better Context and Prompting
  • Adding in RevitPy Documentation Search and Context
  • Learning more and experimenting with prompting (https://www.promptingguide.ai/)
• Hosting on Cloud
  • Flask Server
  • Updating Requests from frontend to include OpenAI key

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
