WaterCooler

created by Austin Poor

WaterCooler is an open source, desktop GUI for interacting with ChatGPT, created with Tauri.

Installing

Pre-build binaries can be found in the releases tab. here.

Alternatively, the app can be build from source with the following command:

$ pnpm tauri build

You can read more about building the app in the Tauri docs, here.

Getting Started

After installing, start by going to the Settings tab in the left nav panel and...

...putting in your OpenAI auth token. (You can find more info on getting an OpenAI auth token here).

Then, you can start a new chat by clicking the "+ New Chat" button in the left nav panel.

WaterCooler will automatically seed the chat with your configured system prompt (can also be set in the Settings tab).

You can learn more about the system prompt here.

Now you're ready to start chatting!

Misc.

If you want to test out some requests before sending requests to OpenAI's API, I created a (very basic) mock of the OpenAI chat completion API to help with testing.

You can find the code here: a-poor/openai-api-mock
