How to Embed ChatGPT in your Website

In this article we're going to show you how you can easily embed a ChatGPT chatbot in your website in 5 simple steps.  The embedded ChatGPT bot is customizable, can use the latest models from OpenAI and just uses your own OpenAI API Key so you have full control over models, how ChatGPT is managed, which plugins, are used, and how the bot is trained.
