# UI4AI

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/UI4AI.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/UI4AI/)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)

A simple, lightweight, and plug-and-play Streamlit-based UI for LLM chatbot applications with ChatGPT-style features.

---

## Features

- Plug in your own `generate_response` or **streaming** `generate_response_stream` function
- Built-in sidebar history and session management
- **Welcome screen** with optional suggestion chips when starting a new chat
- **Custom avatars** for user and assistant messages
- Optional: title generation, token counting, max history control
- Editable conversation titles and persistent sessions (survives refresh/restart)
- Optional conversation search

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install UI4AI
```

---

## Minimal usage (frontend only, no API key)

```python
from UI4AI import run_chat

def generate_response(messages):
    return f"You said: {messages[-1]['content']}"

run_chat(generate_response=generate_response)
```

Run: `streamlit run app.py`

For OpenAI: use `run_chat_openai()` (requires API key).

---

## Basic usage (customize with parameters)

Use `run_chat()` with your own `generate_response`:

```python
from UI4AI import run_chat
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="<YOUR_API_KEY>")

def generate_response(messages):
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4o-mini",
        messages=messages,
        temperature=0.7,
    )
    return response.choices[0].message.content or ""

run_chat(
    generate_response=generate_response,
    page_title="My Chatbot",
    header_title="My Chatbot",
)
```

Or use `run_chat_openai()` and override any parameter:

```python
run_chat_openai(
    page_title="My Bot",
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
    model="gpt-4o",
)
```

Run the app: `streamlit run app.py`

---

## Examples

| File | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `examples/minimal_example.py` | Frontend only, no API key |
| `examples/simple_example.py` | Echo bot with more responses |
| `examples/openai_example.py` | OpenAI (requires API key) |
| `examples/base_example.py` | Full template with all parameters documented |

---

## Streaming (typewriter effect)

Pass a **generator** that yields string chunks to get a ChatGPT-like streaming response:

```python
from UI4AI import run_chat
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(api_key="<YOUR_API_KEY>")

def generate_response_stream(messages):
    stream = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4o-mini",
        messages=messages,
        stream=True,
    )
    for chunk in stream:
        if chunk.choices[0].delta.content:
            yield chunk.choices[0].delta.content

run_chat(
    generate_response_stream=generate_response_stream,
    page_title="Streaming Chat",
)
```

---

## Welcome screen and avatars

```python
run_chat(
    generate_response=my_response_fn,
    welcome_title="Welcome",
    welcome_message="How can I help you today?",
    suggestions=[
        "Explain quantum computing in simple terms",
        "Write a short poem",
        "Help me debug this code",
    ],
    user_avatar="🧑",
    assistant_avatar="🤖",
)
```
