SmartBot - Chat with assistants from OpenAI, Anthropic and Mistral

A native Android app created with React Native on the Expo framework.

Building and Running the App

Follow the steps below to build and run the SmartBot app (requires Android Studio SDK):

  1. Install the app dependencies by running npm install.
  2. Test the app using npx expo start.
  3. Install Expo Application Services: npm install --global eas-cli and build the .apk file by running eas build -p android --profile preview.
  4. Scan QR code with your phone to download the app
  5. Go to Settings to enter your API key of the providers you wish to use.

Features

  • Chat with assistants from OpenAi, Anthropic and Mistral
  • Switch between providers and models
  • Create, browse and delete conversations
  • Continue an earlier conversation
  • Filter conversations by keywords
  • Copy a message to clipboard (tap message)
  • Share a message (long hold message)

Technologies

Smartbot is a native mobile app for Android that was built using React Native and the Expo framework. The app connects to one of the AI assistant providers chosen by the user. To manage state and actions across the app, it uses Redux Toolkit. When the app needs to get data asynchronously from the API, it uses the Redux Thunk middleware. The app also utilizes the Axios library for API requests, the Date-fns library for working with dates and times, and Redux Persist to persist some Redux state.
