# 💬 Beyond ChatGPT – Beginner LLM App

This is a simple LLM-based chatbot built during the **Beyond ChatGPT** tutorial from [AI Makerspace](https://github.com/AI-Maker-Space/Beyond-ChatGPT).  
It runs locally or in a Hugging Face Space using Docker.

The app connects to the OpenAI API and supports system messages, few-shot prompting, and chain-of-thought-style reasoning.

---

## 🧠 What You Can Do

- Send prompts to a live OpenAI model
- Test structured prompting techniques
- Explore different system/assistant/user message configurations
- Use this app as a foundation for building your own LLM tools

## 🚀 How to Use

If running on Hugging Face (or locally via Docker):

1. Enter a prompt in the chat window
2. Press `Enter` or click `Send`
3. The model will respond in a conversational format
