ChatBot

Flask + OpenAI powered chat app with a WhatsApp-style interface, in-browser chat widget, and simple session management.

This project is a simple WhatsApp-style / chat-widget style web app built with Flask on the backend and a vanilla HTML/CSS/JS frontend.
The backend talks to the OpenAI API and returns AI responses to user messages.

• Backend: Python + Flask
• Frontend: Static HTML/CSS/JS (served from /static)
• AI: OpenAI Chat Completions API
