🧠 AI Chatbot in C using Groq API

🚀 A lightweight and efficient AI chatbot built in C, leveraging cURL to interact with the Groq API for AI-generated responses. This project explores AI development in a low-level programming environment, integrating real-time conversation capabilities into a terminal-based chatbot.

News 🥳

The AI chatbot in C also known as Termbot has its new home: Termbot Home. A big thanks to Starnix Cloud and Ayush Ghosal for providing the deployment.

To use it:

• Username: user
• Password: user
• Run termbot in the shell

📌 Features

✅ Groq API Integration – Fetches AI-generated responses dynamically
✅ cURL for HTTP Requests – Handles API communication seamlessly
✅ Interactive Chat Interface – Smooth user experience in the terminal
✅ Optimized String Processing – Efficient parsing and formatting of AI responses
✅ Lightweight & Fast – Built entirely in C for performance

🛠️ Installation & Usage

1️⃣ Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• GCC Compiler (gcc)
• Groq API Key (Sign up at Groq API and set GROQ_API_KEY in your environment)
• cURL Library (libcurl)

To install libcurl:

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt update && sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev

# Fedora
sudo dnf install libcurl-devel

# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S curl

# macOS (Homebrew)
brew install curl

For Windows:

1. Download libcurl from https://curl.se/windows/.
2. Extract and add the include and lib paths to your MinGW compiler.

2️⃣ Clone the Repository

git https://github.com/subhadeeproy3902/AI-Terminal-Bot.git
cd AI-Terminal-Bot

3️⃣ Set Up API Key

export GROQ_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

For Windows (PowerShell):

$env:GROQ_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

4️⃣ Compile the Chatbot

gcc chatbot.c -o c.out -lcurl

5️⃣ Run the Chatbot

./c.out

Start chatting! Type exit to quit.

🔥 How It Works

1. User Input: The user types a message in the terminal.
2. API Request: The chatbot sends the message to the Groq API using cURL.
3. AI Response: The API processes the request and returns a response.
4. Display: The chatbot extracts the response and prints it in a formatted way.

💡 The bot is designed to be direct, professional, and does not use markdown in responses.
