Overview

PyGPT is all-in-one Desktop AI Assistant that provides direct interaction with OpenAI language models, including o1, gpt-4o, gpt-4, gpt-4 Vision, and gpt-3.5, through the OpenAI API. By utilizing LangChain and LlamaIndex, the application also supports alternative LLMs, like those available on HuggingFace, locally available models (like Llama 3,Mistral or Bielik), Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude.

This assistant offers multiple modes of operation such as chat, assistants, completions, and image-related tasks using DALL-E 3 for generation and gpt-4 Vision for image analysis. PyGPT has filesystem capabilities for file I/O, can generate and run Python code, execute system commands, execute custom commands and manage file transfers. It also allows models to perform web searches with the Google and Microsoft Bing.

For audio interactions, PyGPT includes speech synthesis using the Microsoft Azure, Google, Eleven Labs and OpenAI Text-To-Speech services. Additionally, it features speech recognition capabilities provided by OpenAI Whisper, Google and Bing enabling the application to understand spoken commands and transcribe audio inputs into text. It features context memory with save and load functionality, enabling users to resume interactions from predefined points in the conversation. Prompt creation and management are streamlined through an intuitive preset system.

PyGPT's functionality extends through plugin support, allowing for custom enhancements. Its multi-modal capabilities make it an adaptable tool for a range of AI-assisted operations, such as text-based interactions, system automation, daily assisting, vision applications, natural language processing, code generation and image creation.

Multiple operation modes are included, such as chat, text completion, assistant, vision, LangChain, Chat with Files (via LlamaIndex), commands execution, external API calls and image generation, making PyGPT a multi-tool for many AI-driven tasks.

sudo apt install portaudio19-dev

sudo apt install libasound2
sudo apt install libasound2-data 
sudo apt install libasound2-plugins

Problems with GLIBC on Linux

If you encounter error:

Error loading Python lib libpython3.10.so.1.0: dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version GLIBC_2.35 not found (required by libpython3.10.so.1.0)

when trying to run the compiled version for Linux, try updating GLIBC to version 2.35, or use a newer operating system that has at least version 2.35 of GLIBC.

Access to camera in Snap version:

sudo snap connect pygpt:camera

Access to microphone in Snap version:

To use microphone in Snap version you must connect the microphone with:

sudo snap connect pygpt:audio-record :audio-record

Windows and VC++ Redistributable

On Windows, the proper functioning requires the installation of the VC++ Redistributable, which can be found on the Microsoft website:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist

The libraries from this environment are used by PySide6 - one of the base packages used by PyGPT. The absence of the installed libraries may cause display errors or completely prevent the application from running.

It may also be necessary to add the path C:\path\to\venv\Lib\python3.x\site-packages\PySide6 to the PATH variable.

WebEngine/Chromium renderer and OpenGL problems

If you have a problems with WebEngine / Chromium renderer you can force the legacy mode by launching the app with command line arguments:

python3 run.py --legacy=1

and to force disable OpenGL hardware acceleration:

python3 run.py --disable-gpu=1

You can also manualy enable legacy mode by editing config file - open the %WORKDIR%/config.json config file in editor and set the following options:

"render.engine": "legacy",
"render.open_gl": false,

Other requirements

For operation, an internet connection is needed (for API connectivity), a registered OpenAI account, and an active API key that must be input into the program. Local models, such as Llama3 do not require OpenAI account and any API keys.

Debugging and logging

Please go to Debugging and Logging section for instructions on how to log and diagnose issues in a more detailed manner.

Quick Start

Setting-up OpenAI API KEY

Tip: The API key is required to work with the OpenAI API. If you wish to use custom API endpoints or local API that do not require API keys, simply enter anything into the API key field to avoid a prompt about the API key being empty.

During the initial launch, you must configure your API key within the application.

To do so, navigate to the menu:

Config -> Settings -> API Keys

and then paste the API key into the OpenAI API KEY field.

The API key can be obtained by registering on the OpenAI website:

https://platform.openai.com

Your API keys will be available here:

https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

Note: The ability to use models within the application depends on the API user's access to a given model!

Working modes

Chat

+ Inline Vision and Image generation

This mode in PyGPT mirrors ChatGPT, allowing you to chat with models such as o1, GPT-4, GPT-4o and GPT-3.5. It works by using the ChatCompletion OpenAI API.

Tip: This mode directly uses the OpenAI API. If you want to use models other than GPT (such as Gemini, Claude, or Llama3), use Chat with Files mode.

The main part of the interface is a chat window where you see your conversations. Below it is a message box for typing. On the right side, you can set up or change the model and system prompt. You can also save these settings as presets to easily switch between models or tasks.

Above where you type your messages, the interface shows you the number of tokens your message will use up as you type it – this helps to keep track of usage. There is also a feature to attach and upload files in this area. Go to the Files and Attachments section for more information on how to use attachments.

Vision: If you want to send photos from your disk or images from your camera for analysis, and the selected model does not support Vision, you must enable the GPT-4 Vision (inline) plugin in the Plugins menu. This plugin allows you to send photos or images from your camera for analysis in any Chat mode.

With this plugin, you can capture an image with your camera or attach an image and send it for analysis to discuss the photograph:

Image generation: If you want to generate images (using DALL-E) directly in chat you must enable plugin DALL-E 3 (inline) in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to generate images in Chat mode:

Chat with Audio

2024-11-26: currently in beta.

This mode works like the Chat mode but with native support for audio input and output using a multimodal model - gpt-4o-audio. In this mode, audio input and output are directed to and from the model directly, without the use of external plugins. This enables faster and better audio communication.

More info: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/audio/quickstart

Currently, in beta. Tool and function calls are not enabled in this mode.

INFO: The execution of commands and tools in this mode is temporarily unavailable.

Completion

An older mode of operation that allows working in the standard text completion mode. However, it allows for a bit more flexibility with the text by enabling you to initiate the entire discussion in any way you like.

Similar to chat mode, on the right-hand side of the interface, there are convenient presets. These allow you to fine-tune instructions and swiftly transition between varied configurations and pre-made prompt templates.

Additionally, this mode offers options for labeling the AI and the user, making it possible to simulate dialogues between specific characters - for example, you could create a conversation between Batman and the Joker, as predefined in the prompt. This feature presents a range of creative possibilities for setting up different conversational scenarios in an engaging and exploratory manner.

From version 2.0.107 the davinci models are deprecated and has been replaced with gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct model in Completion mode.

Image generation (DALL-E)

DALL-E 3

PyGPT enables quick and easy image creation with DALL-E 3. The older model version, DALL-E 2, is also accessible. Generating images is akin to a chat conversation - a user's prompt triggers the generation, followed by downloading, saving to the computer, and displaying the image onscreen. You can send raw prompt to DALL-E in Image generation mode or ask the model for the best prompt.

Image generation using DALL-E is available in every mode via plugin DALL-E 3 Image Generation (inline). Just ask any model, in any mode, like e.g. GPT-4 to generate an image and it will do it inline, without need to mode change.

If you want to generate images (using DALL-E) directly in chat you must enable plugin DALL-E 3 Inline in the Plugins menu. Plugin allows you to generate images in Chat mode:

Multiple variants

You can generate up to 4 different variants (DALL-E 2) for a given prompt in one session. DALL-E 3 allows one image. To select the desired number of variants to create, use the slider located in the right-hand corner at the bottom of the screen. This replaces the conversation temperature slider when you switch to image generation mode.

Raw mode

There is an option for switching prompt generation mode.

If Raw Mode is enabled, DALL-E will receive the prompt exactly as you have provided it. If Raw Mode is disabled, GPT will generate the best prompt for you based on your instructions.

Image storage

Once you've generated an image, you can easily save it anywhere on your disk by right-clicking on it. You also have the options to delete it or view it in full size in your web browser.

Tip: Use presets to save your prepared prompts. This lets you quickly use them again for generating new images later on.

The app keeps a history of all your prompts, allowing you to revisit any session and reuse previous prompts for creating new images.

Images are stored in img directory in PyGPT user data folder.

Vision (GPT-4 Vision)

This mode enables image analysis using the gpt-4o and gpt-4-vision models. Functioning much like the chat mode, it also allows you to upload images or provide URLs to images. The vision feature can analyze both local images and those found online.

Vision is also integrated into any chat mode via plugin GPT-4 Vision (inline). Just enable the plugin and use Vision in other work modes, such as Chat or Chat with Files.

Vision mode also includes real-time video capture from camera. To capture image from camera and append it to chat just click on video at left side. You can also enable Auto capture - image will be captured and appended to chat message every time you send message.

1) Video camera real-time image capture

2) you can also provide an image URL

3) or you can just upload your local images or use the inline Vision in the standard chat mode:

Tip: When using Vision (inline) by utilizing a plugin in standard mode, such as Chat (not Vision mode), the + Vision label will appear at the bottom of the Chat window.

Assistants

This mode uses the OpenAI's Assistants API.

This mode expands on the basic chat functionality by including additional external tools like a Code Interpreter for executing code, Retrieval Files for accessing files, and custom Functions for enhanced interaction and integration with other APIs or services. In this mode, you can easily upload and download files. PyGPT streamlines file management, enabling you to quickly upload documents and manage files created by the model.

Setting up new assistants is simple - a single click is all it takes, and they instantly sync with the OpenAI API. Importing assistants you've previously created with OpenAI into PyGPT is also a seamless process.

In Assistant mode you are allowed to storage your files in remote vector store (per Assistant) and manage them easily from app:

Please note that token usage calculation is unavailable in this mode. Nonetheless, file (attachment) uploads are supported. Simply navigate to the Files tab to effortlessly manage files and attachments which can be sent to the OpenAI API.

Vector stores (via Assistants API)

Assistant mode supports the use of external vector databases offered by the OpenAI API. This feature allows you to store your files in a database and then search them using the Assistant's API. Each assistant can be linked to one vector database—if a database is linked, all files uploaded in this mode will be stored in the linked vector database. If an assistant does not have a linked vector database, a temporary database is automatically created during the file upload, which is accessible only in the current thread. Files from temporary databases are automatically deleted after 7 days.

To enable the use of vector stores, enable the Chat with Files checkbox in the Assistant settings. This enables the File search tool in Assistants API.

To manage external vector databases, click the DB icon next to the vector database selection list in the Assistant creation and editing window (screen below). In this management window, you can create a new vector database, edit an existing one, or import a list of all existing databases from the OpenAI server:

You can define, using Expire days, how long files should be automatically kept in the database before deletion (as storing files on OpenAI incurs costs). If the value is set to 0, files will not be automatically deleted.

The vector database in use will be displayed in the list of uploaded files, on the field to the right—if a file is stored in a database, the name of the database will be displayed there; if not, information will be shown indicating that the file is only accessible within the thread:

LangChain

This mode enables you to work with models that are supported by LangChain. The LangChain support is integrated into the application, allowing you to interact with any LLM by simply supplying a configuration file for the specific model. You can add as many models as you like; just list them in the configuration file named models.json.

Available LLMs providers supported by PyGPT, in LangChain and Chat with Files (LlamaIndex) modes:

- OpenAI
- Azure OpenAI
- Google (Gemini, etc.)
- HuggingFace
- Anthropic
- Ollama (Llama3, Mistral, etc.)

You have the ability to add custom model wrappers for models that are not available by default in PyGPT. To integrate a new model, you can create your own wrapper and register it with the application. Detailed instructions for this process are provided in the section titled Managing models / Adding models via LangChain.

Chat with Files (LlamaIndex)

This mode enables chat interaction with your documents and entire context history through conversation. It seamlessly incorporates LlamaIndex into the chat interface, allowing for immediate querying of your indexed documents.

Querying single files

You can also query individual files "on the fly" using the query_file command from the Files I/O plugin. This allows you to query any file by simply asking a question about that file. A temporary index will be created in memory for the file being queried, and an answer will be returned from it. From version 2.1.9 similar command is available for querying web and external content: Directly query web content with LlamaIndex.

For example:

If you have a file: data/my_cars.txt with content My car is red.

You can ask for: Query the file my_cars.txt about what color my car is.

And you will receive the response: Red.

Note: this command indexes the file only for the current query and does not persist it in the database. To store queried files also in the standard index you must enable the option Auto-index readed files in plugin settings. Remember to enable + Tools checkbox to allow usage of tools and commands from plugins.

Using Chat with Files mode

In this mode, you are querying the whole index, stored in a vector store database. To start, you need to index (embed) the files you want to use as additional context. Embedding transforms your text data into vectors. If you're unfamiliar with embeddings and how they work, check out this article:

https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/11/09/an-intuitive-introduction-to-text-embeddings/

For a visualization from OpenAI's page, see this picture:

Source: https://cdn.openai.com/new-and-improved-embedding-model/draft-20221214a/vectors-3.svg

To index your files, simply copy or upload them into the data directory and initiate indexing (embedding) by clicking the Index all button, or right-click on a file and select Index.... Additionally, you have the option to utilize data from indexed files in any Chat mode by activating the Chat with Files (LlamaIndex, inline) plugin.

After the file(s) are indexed (embedded in vector store), you can use context from them in chat mode:

Built-in file loaders:

Files:

• CSV files (csv)
• Epub files (epub)
• Excel .xlsx spreadsheets (xlsx)
• HTML files (html, htm)
• IPYNB Notebook files (ipynb)
• Image (vision) (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tiff, webp)
• JSON files (json)
• Markdown files (md)
• PDF documents (pdf)
• Txt/raw files (txt)
• Video/audio (mp4, avi, mov, mkv, webm, mp3, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav)
• Word .docx documents (docx)
• XML files (xml)

Web/external content:

• Bitbucket
• ChatGPT Retrieval Plugin
• GitHub Issues
• GitHub Repository
• Google Calendar
• Google Docs
• Google Drive
• Google Gmail
• Google Keep
• Google Sheets
• Microsoft OneDrive
• RSS
• SQL Database
• Sitemap (XML)
• Twitter/X posts
• Webpages (crawling any webpage content)
• YouTube (transcriptions)

You can configure data loaders in Settings / Indexes (LlamaIndex) / Data Loaders by providing list of keyword arguments for specified loaders. You can also develop and provide your own custom loader and register it within the application.

LlamaIndex is also integrated with context database - you can use data from database (your context history) as additional context in discussion. Options for indexing existing context history or enabling real-time indexing new ones (from database) are available in Settings / Indexes (LlamaIndex) section.

WARNING: remember that when indexing content, API calls to the embedding model are used. Each indexing consumes additional tokens. Always control the number of tokens used on the OpenAI page.

Tip: Using the Chat with Files mode, you have default access to files manually indexed from the /data directory. However, you can use additional context by attaching a file - such additional context from the attachment does not land in the main index, but only in a temporary one, available only for the given conversation.

Token limit: When you use Chat with Files in non-query mode, LlamaIndex adds extra context to the system prompt. If you use a plugins (which also adds more instructions to system prompt), you might go over the maximum number of tokens allowed. If you get a warning that says you've used too many tokens, turn off plugins you're not using or turn off the "+ Tools" option to reduce the number of tokens used by the system prompt.

Available vector stores (provided by LlamaIndex):

- ChromaVectorStore
- ElasticsearchStore
- PinecodeVectorStore
- RedisVectorStore
- SimpleVectorStore

You can configure selected vector store by providing config options like api_key, etc. in Settings -> LlamaIndex window. See the section: Configuration / Vector stores for configuration reference.

Configuring data loaders

In the Settings -> LlamaIndex -> Data loaders section you can define the additional keyword arguments to pass into data loader instance. See the section: Configuration / Data Loaders for configuration reference.

Agent (LlamaIndex)

Currently in beta version -- introduced in 2.4.10 (2024-11-14)

Mode that allows the use of agents offered by LlamaIndex.

Includes built-in agents:

• OpenAI
• ReAct
• Structured Planner (sub-tasks)

In the future, the list of built-in agents will be expanded.

You can also create your own agent by creating a new provider that inherits from pygpt_net.provider.agents.base.

Tools and Plugins

In this mode, all commands from active plugins are available (commands from plugins are automatically converted into tools for the agent on-the-fly).

RAG - using indexes

If an index is selected in the agent preset, a tool for reading data from the index is automatically added to the agent, creating a RAG automatically.

Multimodality is currently unavailable, only text is supported. Vision support will be added in the future.

Loop / Evaluate Mode

You can run the agent in autonomous mode, in a loop, and with evaluation of the current output. When you enable the Loop / Evaluate checkbox, after the final response is given, the quality of the answer will be rated on a percentage scale of 0% to 100% by another agent. If the response receives a score lower than the one expected (set using a slider at the bottom right corner of the screen, with a default value 75%), a prompt will be sent to the agent requesting improvements and enhancements to the response.

Setting the expected (required) score to 0% means that the response will be evaluated every time the agent produces a result, and it will always be prompted to self-improve its answer. This way, you can put the agent in an autonomous loop, where it will continue to operate until it succeeds.

You can set the limit of steps in such a loop by going to Settings -> Agents and experts -> LlamaIndex agents -> Max evaluation steps . The default value is 3, meaning the agent will only make three attempts to improve or correct its answer. If you set the limit to zero, there will be no limit, and the agent can operate in this mode indefinitely (watch out for tokens!).

You can change the prompt used for evaluating the response in Settings -> Prompts -> Agent: evaluation prompt in loop. Here, you can adjust it to suit your needs, for example, by defining more or less critical feedback for the responses received.

Agent (Autonomous)

This is an older version of the Agent mode, still available as legacy. However, it is recommended to use the newer mode: Agent (LlamaIndex).

WARNING: Please use this mode with caution - autonomous mode, when connected with other plugins, may produce unexpected results!

The mode activates autonomous mode, where AI begins a conversation with itself. You can set this loop to run for any number of iterations. Throughout this sequence, the model will engage in self-dialogue, answering his own questions and comments, in order to find the best possible solution, subjecting previously generated steps to criticism.

WARNING: Setting the number of run steps (iterations) to 0 activates an infinite loop which can generate a large number of requests and cause very high token consumption, so use this option with caution! Confirmation will be displayed every time you run the infinite loop.

This mode is similar to Auto-GPT - it can be used to create more advanced inferences and to solve problems by breaking them down into subtasks that the model will autonomously perform one after another until the goal is achieved.

You can create presets with custom instructions for multiple agents, incorporating various workflows, instructions, and goals to achieve.

All plugins are available for agents, so you can enable features such as file access, command execution, web searching, image generation, vision analysis, etc., for your agents. Connecting agents with plugins can create a fully autonomous, self-sufficient system. All currently enabled plugins are automatically available to the Agent.

When the Auto-stop option is enabled, the agent will attempt to stop once the goal has been reached.

In opposition to Auto-stop, when the Always continue... option is enabled, the agent will use the "always continue" prompt to generate additional reasoning and automatically proceed to the next step, even if it appears that the task has been completed.

Options

The agent is essentially a virtual mode that internally sequences the execution of a selected underlying mode. You can choose which internal mode the agent should use in the settings:

Settings / Agent (autonomous) / Sub-mode to use

Available choices include: chat, completion, langchain, vision, llama_index (Chat with Files).

Default is: chat.

If you want to use the LlamaIndex mode when running the agent, you can also specify which index LlamaIndex should use with the option:

Settings / Agents and experts / Index to use

Experts (co-op, co-operation mode)

This mode is experimental.

Expert mode allows for the creation of experts (using presets) and then consulting them during a conversation. In this mode, a primary base context is created for conducting the conversation. From within this context, the model can make requests to an expert to perform a task and return the results to the main thread. When an expert is called in the background, a separate context is created for them with their own memory. This means that each expert, during the life of one main context, also has access to their own memory via their separate, isolated context.

In simple terms - you can imagine an expert as a separate, additional instance of the model running in the background, which can be called at any moment for assistance, with its own context and memory, as well as its own specialized instructions in a given subject.

Experts do not share contexts with one another, and the only point of contact between them is the main conversation thread. In this main thread, the model acts as a manager of experts, who can exchange data between them as needed.

An expert is selected based on the name in the presets; for example, naming your expert as: ID = python_expert, name = "Python programmer" will create an expert whom the model will attempt to invoke for matters related to Python programming. You can also manually request to refer to a given expert:

Call the Python expert to generate some code.

Experts can be activated or deactivated - to enable or disable use RMB context menu to select the Enable/Disable options from the presets list. Only enabled experts are available to use in the thread.

Experts can also be used in Agent (autonomous) mode - by creating a new agent using a preset. Simply move the appropriate experts to the active list to automatically make them available for use by the agent.

You can also use experts in "inline" mode - by activating the Experts (inline) plugin. This allows for the use of experts in any mode, such as normal chat.

Expert mode, like agent mode, is a "virtual" mode - you need to select a target mode of operation for it, which can be done in the settings at Settings / Agent (autonomous) / Sub-mode for experts.

You can also ask for a list of active experts at any time:

Give me a list of active experts.

Context and memory

Short and long-term memory

PyGPT features a continuous chat mode that maintains a long context of the ongoing dialogue. It preserves the entire conversation history and automatically appends it to each new message (prompt) you send to the AI. Additionally, you have the flexibility to revisit past conversations whenever you choose. The application keeps a record of your chat history, allowing you to resume discussions from the exact point you stopped.

Handling multiple contexts

On the left side of the application interface, there is a panel that displays a list of saved conversations. You can save numerous contexts and switch between them with ease. This feature allows you to revisit and continue from any point in a previous conversation. PyGPT automatically generates a summary for each context, akin to the way ChatGPT operates and gives you the option to modify these titles itself.

You can disable context support in the settings by using the following option:

Config -> Settings -> Use context 

Clearing history

You can clear the entire memory (all contexts) by selecting the menu option:

File -> Clear history...

Context storage

On the application side, the context is stored in the SQLite database located in the working directory (db.sqlite). In addition, all history is also saved to .txt files for easy reading.

Once a conversation begins, a title for the chat is generated and displayed on the list to the left. This process is similar to ChatGPT, where the subject of the conversation is summarized, and a title for the thread is created based on that summary. You can change the name of the thread at any time.

Files And Attachments

Uploading attachments

Using Your Own Files as Additional Context in Conversations

You can use your own files (for example, to analyze them) during any conversation. You can do this in two ways: by indexing (embedding) your files in a vector database, which makes them available all the time during a "Chat with Files" session, or by adding a file attachment (the attachment file will only be available during the conversation in which it was uploaded).

Attachments

PyGPT makes it simple for users to upload files and send them to the model for tasks like analysis, similar to attaching files in ChatGPT. There's a separate Attachments tab next to the text input area specifically for managing file uploads.

Tip: Attachments uploaded in group are available in all contexts in group.

You can use attachments to provide additional context to the conversation. Uploaded files will be converted into text using loaders from LlamaIndex, and then embedded into the vector store. You can upload any file format supported by the application through LlamaIndex. Supported formats include:

Text-based types:

• CSV files (csv)
• Epub files (epub)
• Excel .xlsx spreadsheets (xlsx)
• HTML files (html, htm)
• IPYNB Notebook files (ipynb)
• JSON files (json)
• Markdown files (md)
• PDF documents (pdf)
• Plain-text files (txt and etc.)
• Word .docx documents (docx)
• XML files (xml)

Media-types:

• Image (using vision) (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tiff, webp)
• Video/audio (mp4, avi, mov, mkv, webm, mp3, mpeg, mpga, m4a, wav)

Archives:

• zip
• tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2

The content from the uploaded attachments will be used in the current conversation and will be available throughout (per context). There are 3 modes available for working with additional context from attachments:

• Full context: Provides best results. This mode attaches the entire content of the read file to the user's prompt. This process happens in the background and may require a large number of tokens if you uploaded extensive content.

• RAG: The indexed attachment will only be queried in real-time using LlamaIndex. This operation does not require any additional tokens, but it may not provide access to the full content of the file 1:1.

• Summary: When queried, an additional query will be generated in the background and executed by a separate model to summarize the content of the attachment and return the required information to the main model. You can change the model used for summarization in the settings under the Files and attachments section.

In the RAG and Summary mode, you can enable an additional setting by going to Settings -> Files and attachments -> Use history in RAG query. This allows for better preparation of queries for RAG. When this option is turned on, the entire conversation context is considered, rather than just the user's last query. This allows for better searching of the index for additional context. In the RAG limit option, you can set a limit on how many recent entries in a discussion should be considered (0 = no limit, default: 3).

Important: When using Full context mode, the entire content of the file is included in the prompt, which can result in high token usage each time. If you want to reduce the number of tokens used, instead use the RAG option, which will only query the indexed attachment in the vector database to provide additional context.

Images as Additional Context

Files such as jpg, png, and similar images are a special case. By default, images are not used as additional context; they are analyzed in real-time using a vision model. If you want to use them as additional context instead, you must enable the "Allow images as additional context" option in the settings: Files and attachments -> Allow images as additional context.

Uploading larger files and auto-index

To use the RAG mode, the file must be indexed in the vector database. This occurs automatically at the time of upload if the Auto-index on upload option in the Attachments tab is enabled. When uploading large files, such indexing might take a while - therefore, if you are using the Full context option, which does not use the index, you can disable the Auto-index option to speed up the upload of the attachment. In this case, it will only be indexed when the RAG option is called for the first time, and until then, attachment will be available in the form of Full context and Summary.

Downloading files

PyGPT enables the automatic download and saving of files created by the model. This is carried out in the background, with the files being saved to an data folder located within the user's working directory. To view or manage these files, users can navigate to the Files tab which features a file browser for this specific directory. Here, users have the interface to handle all files sent by the AI.

This data directory is also where the application stores files that are generated locally by the AI, such as code files or any other data requested from the model. Users have the option to execute code directly from the stored files and read their contents, with the results fed back to the AI. This hands-off process is managed by the built-in plugin system and model-triggered commands. You can also indexing files from this directory (using integrated LlamaIndex) and use it's contents as additional context provided to discussion.

The Files I/O plugin takes care of file operations in the data directory, while the Code Interpreter plugin allows for the execution of code from these files.

To allow the model to manage files or python code execution, the + Tools option must be active, along with the above-mentioned plugins:

Presets

What is preset?

Presets in PyGPT are essentially templates used to store and quickly apply different configurations. Each preset includes settings for the mode you want to use (such as chat, completion, or image generation), an initial system prompt, an assigned name for the AI, a username for the session, and the desired "temperature" for the conversation. A warmer "temperature" setting allows the AI to provide more creative responses, while a cooler setting encourages more predictable replies. These presets can be used across various modes and with models accessed via the OpenAI API or LangChain.

The application lets you create as many presets as needed and easily switch among them. Additionally, you can clone an existing preset, which is useful for creating variations based on previously set configurations and experimentation.

Example usage

The application includes several sample presets that help you become acquainted with the mechanism of their use.

Profiles

You can create multiple profiles for an app and switch between them. Each profile uses its own configuration, settings, context history, and a separate folder for user files. This allows you to set up different environments and quickly switch between them, changing the entire setup with just one click.

The app lets you create new profiles, edit existing ones, and duplicate current ones.

To create a new profile, select the option from the menu: Config -> Profile -> New Profile...

To edit saved profiles, choose the option from the menu: Config -> Profile -> Edit Profiles...

To switch to a created profile, pick the profile from the menu: Config -> Profile -> [Profile Name]

Each profile uses its own user directory (workdir). You can link a newly created or edited profile to an existing workdir with its configuration.

The name of the currently active profile is shown as (Profile Name) in the window title.

Plugins

Overview

PyGPT can be enhanced with plugins to add new features.

Tip: Plugins works best with GPT-4 models.

The following plugins are currently available, and model can use them instantly:

• Audio Input - provides speech recognition.

• Audio Output - provides voice synthesis.

• Autonomous Agent (inline) - enables autonomous conversation (AI to AI), manages loop, and connects output back to input. This is the inline Agent mode.

• Chat with Files (LlamaIndex, inline) - plugin integrates LlamaIndex storage in any chat and provides additional knowledge into context (from indexed files and previous context from database).

• API calls - plugin lets you connect the model to the external services using custom defined API calls.

• Code Interpreter - responsible for generating and executing Python code, functioning much like the Code Interpreter on ChatGPT, but locally. This means GPT can interface with any script, application, or code. Plugins can work in conjunction to perform sequential tasks; for example, the Files plugin can write generated Python code to a file, which the Code Interpreter can execute it and return its result to GPT.

• Custom Commands - allows you to create and execute custom commands on your system.

• Files I/O - provides access to the local filesystem, enabling GPT to read and write files, as well as list and create directories.

• System (OS) - allows you to create and execute custom commands on your system.

• Mouse and Keyboard - provides the ability to control the mouse and keyboard by the model.

• Web Search - provides the ability to connect to the Web, search web pages for current data, and index external content using LlamaIndex data loaders.

• Serial port / USB - plugin provides commands for reading and sending data to USB ports.

• Context history (calendar, inline) - provides access to context history database.

• Crontab / Task scheduler - plugin provides cron-based job scheduling - you can schedule tasks/prompts to be sent at any time using cron-based syntax for task setup.

• DALL-E 3: Image Generation (inline) - integrates DALL-E 3 image generation with any chat and mode. Just enable and ask for image in Chat mode, using standard model like GPT-4. The plugin does not require the + Tools option to be enabled.

• Experts (inline) - allows calling experts in any chat mode. This is the inline Experts (co-op) mode.

• GPT-4 Vision (inline) - integrates Vision capabilities with any chat mode, not just Vision mode. When the plugin is enabled, the model temporarily switches to vision in the background when an image attachment or vision capture is provided.

• Real Time - automatically appends the current date and time to the system prompt, informing the model about current time.

• System Prompt Extra (append) - appends additional system prompts (extra data) from a list to every current system prompt. You can enhance every system prompt with extra instructions that will be automatically appended to the system prompt.

• Voice Control (inline) - provides voice control command execution within a conversation.

• Mailer - Provides the ability to send, receive and read emails.

Audio Input

The plugin facilitates speech recognition (by default using the Whisper model from OpenAI, Google and Bing are also available). It allows for voice commands to be relayed to the AI using your own voice. Whisper doesn't require any extra API keys or additional configurations; it uses the main OpenAI key. In the plugin's configuration options, you should adjust the volume level (min energy) at which the plugin will respond to your microphone. Once the plugin is activated, a new Speak option will appear at the bottom near the Send button - when this is enabled, the application will respond to the voice received from the microphone.

The plugin can be extended with other speech recognition providers.

Autonomous Agent (inline)

WARNING: Please use autonomous mode with caution! - this mode, when connected with other plugins, may produce unexpected results!

The plugin activates autonomous mode in standard chat modes, where AI begins a conversation with itself. You can set this loop to run for any number of iterations. Throughout this sequence, the model will engage in self-dialogue, answering his own questions and comments, in order to find the best possible solution, subjecting previously generated steps to criticism.

This mode is similar to Auto-GPT - it can be used to create more advanced inferences and to solve problems by breaking them down into subtasks that the model will autonomously perform one after another until the goal is achieved. The plugin is capable of working in cooperation with other plugins, thus it can utilize tools such as web search, access to the file system, or image generation using DALL-E.

You can adjust the number of iterations for the self-conversation in the Plugins / Settings... menu under the following option:

• Iterations iterations

Default: 3

WARNING: Setting this option to 0 activates an infinity loop which can generate a large number of requests and cause very high token consumption, so use this option with caution!

• Prompts prompts

Editable list of prompts used to instruct how to handle autonomous mode, you can create as many prompts as you want. First active prompt on list will be used to handle autonomous mode. INFO: At least one active prompt is required!

• Auto-stop after goal is reached auto_stop

If enabled, plugin will stop after goal is reached." Default: True

• Reverse roles between iterations reverse_roles

Only for Completion/LangChain modes. If enabled, this option reverses the roles (AI <> user) with each iteration. For example, if in the previous iteration the response was generated for "Batman," the next iteration will use that response to generate an input for "Joker." Default: True

Chat with Files (LlamaIndex, inline)

Plugin integrates LlamaIndex storage in any chat and provides additional knowledge into context.

• Ask LlamaIndex first ask_llama_first

When enabled, then LlamaIndex will be asked first, and response will be used as additional knowledge in prompt. When disabled, then LlamaIndex will be asked only when needed. INFO: Disabled in autonomous mode (via plugin)! Default: False

• Auto-prepare question before asking LlamaIndex first prepare_question

When enabled, then question will be prepared before asking LlamaIndex first to create best query. Default: False

• Model for question preparation model_prepare_question

Model used to prepare question before asking LlamaIndex. Default: gpt-3.5-turbo

• Max output tokens for question preparation prepare_question_max_tokens

Max tokens in output when preparing question before asking LlamaIndex. Default: 500

• Prompt for question preparation syntax_prepare_question

System prompt for question preparation.

• Max characters in question max_question_chars

Max characters in question when querying LlamaIndex, 0 = no limit. Default: 1000

• Append metadata to context append_meta

If enabled, then metadata from LlamaIndex will be appended to additional context. Default: False

• Model model_query

Model used for querying LlamaIndex. Default: gpt-3.5-turbo

• Indexes IDs idx

Indexes to use. If you want to use multiple indexes at once then separate them by comma. Default: base

API calls

PyGPT lets you connect the model to the external services using custom defined API calls.

To activate this feature, turn on the API calls plugin found in the Plugins menu.

In this plugin you can provide list of allowed API calls, their parameters and request types. The model will replace provided placeholders with required params and make API call to external service.

• Your custom API calls cmds

You can provide custom API calls on the list here.

Params to specify for API call:

• Enabled (True / False)
• Name: unique API call name (ID)
• Instruction: description for model when and how to use this API call
• GET params: list, separated by comma, GET params to append to endpoint URL
• POST params: list, separated by comma, POST params to send in POST request
• POST JSON: provide the JSON object, template to send in POST JSON request, use %param% as POST param placeholders
• Headers: provide the JSON object with dictionary of extra request headers, like Authorization, API keys, etc.
• Request type: use GET for basic GET request, POST to send encoded POST params or POST_JSON to send JSON-encoded object as body
• Endpoint: API endpoint URL, use {param} as GET param placeholders

An example API call is provided with plugin by default, it calls the Wikipedia API:

• Name: search_wiki
• Instructiom: send API call to Wikipedia to search pages by query
• GET params: query, limit
• Type: GET
• API endpoint: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&limit={limit}&format=json&search={query}

In the above example, every time you ask the model for query Wiki for provided query (e.g. Call the Wikipedia API for query: Nikola Tesla) it will replace placeholders in provided API endpoint URL with a generated query and it will call prepared API endpoint URL, like below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&limit=5&format=json&search=Nikola%20Tesla

You can specify type of request: GET, POST and POST JSON.

In the POST request you can provide POST params, they will be encoded and send as POST data.

In the POST JSON request you must provide JSON object template to be send, using %param% placeholders in the JSON object to be replaced with the model.

You can also provide any required credentials, like Authorization headers, API keys, tokens, etc. using the headers field - you can provide a JSON object here with a dictionary key => value - provided JSON object will be converted to headers dictonary and send with the request.

• Disable SSL verify disable_ssl

Disables SSL verification when making requests. Default: False

• Timeout timeout

Connection timeout (seconds). Default: 5

• User agent user_agent

User agent to use when making requests. Default: Mozilla/5.0

Code Interpreter

Executing Code

From version 2.4.13 with built-in IPython.

The plugin operates similarly to the Code Interpreter in ChatGPT, with the key difference that it works locally on the user's system. It allows for the execution of any Python code on the computer that the model may generate. When combined with the Files I/O plugin, it facilitates running code from files saved in the data directory. You can also prepare your own code files and enable the model to use them or add your own plugin for this purpose. You can execute commands and code on the host machine or in Docker container.

IPython: Starting from version 2.4.13, it is highly recommended to adopt the new option: IPython, which offers significant improvements over previous workflows. IPython provides a robust environment for executing code within a kernel, allowing you to maintain the state of your session by preserving the results of previous commands. This feature is particularly useful for iterative development and data analysis, as it enables you to build upon prior computations without starting from scratch. Moreover, IPython supports the use of magic commands, such as !pip install <package_name>, which facilitate the installation of new packages directly within the session. This capability streamlines the process of managing dependencies and enhances the flexibility of your development environment. Overall, IPython offers a more efficient and user-friendly experience for executing and managing code.

To use IPython in sandbox mode, Docker must be installed on your system.

You can find the installation instructions here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/

Tip: connecting IPython in Docker in Snap version:

To use IPython in the Snap version, you must connect PyGPT to the Docker daemon:

sudo snap connect pygpt:docker-executables docker:docker-executables

sudo snap connect pygpt:docker docker:docker-daemon

Code interpreter: a real-time Python Code Interpreter is built-in. Click the <> icon to open the interpreter window. Both the input and output of the interpreter are connected to the plugin. Any output generated by the executed code will be displayed in the interpreter. Additionally, you can request the model to retrieve contents from the interpreter window output.

Tip: always remember to enable the + Tools option to allow execute commands from the plugins.

Options:

General

Custom Commands

With the Custom Commands plugin, you can integrate PyGPT with your operating system and scripts or applications. You can define an unlimited number of custom commands and instruct GPT on when and how to execute them. Configuration is straightforward, and PyGPT includes a simple tutorial command for testing and learning how it works:

To add a new custom command, click the ADD button and then:

1. Provide a name for your command: this is a unique identifier for GPT.
2. Provide an instruction explaining what this command does; GPT will know when to use the command based on this instruction.
3. Define params, separated by commas - GPT will send data to your commands using these params. These params will be placed into placeholders you have defined in the cmd field. For example:

If you want instruct GPT to execute your Python script named smart_home_lights.py with an argument, such as 1 to turn the light ON, and 0 to turn it OFF, define it as follows:

• name: lights_cmd
• instruction: turn lights on/off; use 1 as 'arg' to turn ON, or 0 as 'arg' to turn OFF
• params: arg
• cmd: python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py {arg}

The setup defined above will work as follows:

When you ask GPT to turn your lights ON, GPT will locate this command and prepare the command python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py {arg} with {arg} replaced with 1. On your system, it will execute the command:

python /path/to/smart_home_lights.py 1

And that's all. GPT will take care of the rest when you ask to turn ON the lights.

You can define as many placeholders and parameters as you desire.

Here are some predefined system placeholders for use:

• {_time} - current time in H:M:S format
• {_date} - current date in Y-m-d format
• {_datetime} - current date and time in Y-m-d H:M:S format
• {_file} - path to the file from which the command is invoked
• {_home} - path to PyGPT's home/working directory

You can connect predefined placeholders with your own params.

Example:

• name: song_cmd
• instruction: store the generated song on hard disk
• params: song_text, title
• cmd: echo "{song_text}" > {_home}/{title}.txt

With the setup above, every time you ask GPT to generate a song for you and save it to the disk, it will:

1. Generate a song.
2. Locate your command.
3. Execute the command by sending the song's title and text.
4. The command will save the song text into a file named with the song's title in the PyGPT working directory.

Example tutorial command

PyGPT provides simple tutorial command to show how it works, to run it just ask GPT for execute tutorial test command and it will show you how it works:

> please execute tutorial test command

Creating Your Own Plugins

You can create your own plugin for PyGPT at any time. The plugin can be written in Python and then registered with the application just before launching it. All plugins included with the app are stored in the plugin directory - you can use them as coding examples for your own plugins.

PyGPT can be extended with:

• custom models

• custom plugins

• custom LLMs wrappers

• custom vector store providers

• custom data loaders

• custom audio input providers

• custom audio output providers

• custom web search engine providers

See the section Extending PyGPT / Adding a custom plugin for more details.

Functions and commands execution

Tip remember to enable the + Tools checkbox to enable execution of tools and commands from plugins.

From version 2.2.20 PyGPT uses native API function calls by default. You can go back to internal syntax (described below) by switching off option Config -> Settings -> Prompts -> Use native API function calls. Native API function calls are available in Chat, Completion and Assistant modes only (using OpenAI API).

In background, PyGPT uses an internal syntax to define commands and their parameters, which can then be used by the model and executed on the application side or even directly in the system. This syntax looks as follows (example command below):

~###~{"cmd": "send_email", "params": {"quote": "Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts!"}}~###~

It is a JSON object wrapped between ~###~. The application extracts the JSON object from such formatted text and executes the appropriate function based on the provided parameters and command name. Many of these types of commands are defined in plugins (e.g., those used for file operations or internet searches). You can also define your own commands using the Custom Commands plugin, or simply by creating your own plugin and adding it to the application.

Tip: The + Tools option checkbox must be enabled to allow the execution of commands from plugins. Disable the option if you do not want to use commands, to prevent additional token usage (as the command execution system prompt consumes additional tokens).

When native API function calls are disabled, a special system prompt responsible for invoking commands is added to the main system prompt if the + Tools option is active.

However, there is an additional possibility to define your own commands and execute them with the help of GPT. These are functions - defined on the OpenAI API side and described using JSON objects. You can find a complete guide on how to define functions here:

https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling

https://cookbook.openai.com/examples/how_to_call_functions_with_chat_models

PyGPT offers compatibility of these functions with commands used in the application. All you need to do is define the appropriate functions using the syntax required by OpenAI, and PyGPT will do the rest, translating such syntax on the fly into its own internal format.

You can define functions for modes: Chat and Assistants. Note that - in Chat mode, they should be defined in Presets, and for Assistants, in the Assistant settings.

Example of usage:

1. Chat

Create a new Preset, open the Preset edit dialog and add a new function using + Function button with the following content:

Name: send_email

Description: Sends a quote using email

Params (JSON):

{
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "quote": {
                "type": "string",
                "description": "A generated funny quote"
            }
        },
        "required": [
            "quote"
        ]
}

Then, in the Custom Commands plugin, create a new command with the same name and the same parameters:

Command name: send_email

Instruction/prompt: send mail (don't needed, because it will be called on OpenAI side)

Params list: quote

Command to execute: echo "OK. Email sent: {quote}"

At next, enable the + Tools option and enable the plugin.

Ask GPT in Chat mode:

Create a funny quote and email it

In response you will receive prepared command, like this:

~###~{"cmd": "send_email", "params": {"quote": "Why do we tell actors to 'break a leg?' Because every play has a cast!"}}~###~

After receiving this, PyGPT will execute the system echo command with params given from params field and replacing {quote} placeholder with quote param value.

As a result, response like this will be sent to the model:

[{"request": {"cmd": "send_email"}, "result": "OK. Email sent: Why do we tell actors to 'break a leg?' Because every play has a cast!"}]

2. Assistant

In this mode (via Assistants API), it should be done similarly, with the difference that here the functions should be defined in the assistant's settings.

With this flow you can use both forms - OpenAI and PyGPT - to define and execute commands and functions in the application. They will cooperate with each other and you can use them interchangeably.

Tools

PyGPT features several useful tools, including:

• Notepad
• Painter
• Calendar
• Indexer
• Media Player
• Image viewer
• Text editor
• Transcribe audio/video files
• Python Code Interpreter
• HTML/JS Canvas (built-in HTML renderer)

Notepad

The application has a built-in notepad, divided into several tabs. This can be useful for storing information in a convenient way, without the need to open an external text editor. The content of the notepad is automatically saved whenever the content changes.

Painter

Using the Painter tool, you can create quick sketches and submit them to the model for analysis. You can also edit opened from disk or captured from camera images, for example, by adding elements like arrows or outlines to objects. Additionally, you can capture screenshots from the system - the captured image is placed in the drawing tool and attached to the query being sent.

To capture the screenshot just click on the Ask with screenshot option in a tray-icon dropdown:

Calendar

Using the calendar, you can go back to selected conversations from a specific day and add daily notes. After adding a note, it will be marked on the list, and you can change the color of its label by right-clicking and selecting Set label color. By clicking on a particular day of the week, conversations from that day will be displayed.

Indexer

This tool allows indexing of local files or directories and external web content to a vector database, which can then be used with the Chat with Files mode. Using this tool, you can manage local indexes and add new data with built-in LlamaIndex integration.

Media Player

A simple video/audio player that allows you to play video files directly from within the app.

Image Viewer

A simple image browser that lets you preview images directly within the app.

Text Editor

A simple text editor that enables you to edit text files directly within the app.

Transcribe Audio/Video Files

An audio transcription tool with which you can prepare a transcript from a video or audio file. It will use a speech recognition plugin to generate the text from the file.

Python Code Interpreter

This tool allows you to run Python code directly from within the app. It is integrated with the Code Interpreter plugin, ensuring that code generated by the model is automatically available from the interpreter. In the plugin settings, you can enable the execution of code in a Docker environment.

HTML/JS Canvas

Allows to render HTML/JS code in HTML Canvas (built-in renderer based on Chromium). To use it, just ask the model to render the HTML/JS code in built-in browser (HTML Canvas). Tool is integrated with the Code Interpreter plugin.

Token usage calculation

Input tokens

The application features a token calculator. It attempts to forecast the number of tokens that a particular query will consume and displays this estimate in real time. This gives you improved control over your token usage. The app provides detailed information about the tokens used for the user's prompt, the system prompt, any additional data, and those used within the context (the memory of previous entries).

Remember that these are only approximate calculations and do not include, for example, the number of tokens consumed by some plugins. You can find the exact number of tokens used on the OpenAI website.

Total tokens

After receiving a response from the model, the application displays the actual total number of tokens used for the query (received from the API).

Accessibility

Since version 2.2.8, PyGPT has added beta support for disabled people and voice control. This may be very useful for blind people.

In the Config / Accessibility menu, you can turn on accessibility features such as:

• activating voice control

• translating actions and events on the screen with audio speech

• setting up keyboard shortcuts for actions.

Using voice control

Voice control can be turned on in two ways: globally, through settings in Config -> Accessibility, and by using the Voice control (inline) plugin. Both options let you use the same voice commands, but they work a bit differently - the global option allows you to run commands outside of a conversation, anywhere, while the plugin option lets you execute commands directly during a conversation – allowing you to interact with the model and execute commands at the same time, within the conversation.

In the plugin (inline) option, you can also turn on a special trigger word that will be needed for content to be recognized as a voice command. You can set this up by going to Plugins -> Settings -> Voice Control (inline):

Magic prefix for voice commands

Tip: When the voice control is enabled via a plugin, simply provide commands while providing the content of the conversation by using the standard Microphone button.

Enabling voice control globally

Turn on the voice control option in Config / Accessibility:

Enable voice control (using microphone)

Once you enable this option, an Voice Control button will appear at the bottom right corner of the window. When you click on this button, the microphone will start listening; clicking it again stops listening and starts recognizing the voice command you said. You can cancel voice recording at any time with the ESC key. You can also set a keyboard shortcut to turn voice recording on/off.

Voice command recognition works based on a model, so you don't have to worry about saying things perfectly.

Here's a list of commands you can ask for by voice:

• Get the current application status
• Exit the application
• Enable audio output
• Disable audio output
• Enable audio input
• Disable audio input
• Add a memo to the calendar
• Clear memos from calendar
• Read the calendar memos
• Enable the camera
• Disable the camera
• Capture image from camera
• Create a new context
• Go to the previous context
• Go to the next context
• Go to the latest context
• Focus on the input
• Send the input
• Clear the input
• Get current conversation info
• Get available commands list
• Stop executing current action
• Clear the attachments
• Read the last conversation entry
• Read the whole conversation
• Rename current context
• Search for a conversation
• Clear the search results
• Send the message to input
• Append message to current input without sending it
• Switch to chat mode
• Switch to chat with files (llama-index) mode
• Switch to the next mode
• Switch to the previous mode
• Switch to the next model
• Switch to the previous model
• Add note to notepad
• Clear notepad contents
• Read current notepad contents
• Switch to the next preset
• Switch to the previous preset
• Switch to the chat tab
• Switch to the calendar tab
• Switch to the draw (painter) tab
• Switch to the files tab
• Switch to the notepad tab
• Switch to the next tab
• Switch to the previous tab
• Start listening for voice input
• Stop listening for voice input
• Toggle listening for voice input

More commands coming soon.

Just ask for an action that matches one of the descriptions above. These descriptions are also known to the model, and relevant commands are assigned to them. When you voice a command that fits one of those patterns, the model will trigger the appropriate action.

For convenience, you can enable a short sound to play when voice recording starts and stops. To do this, turn on the option:

Audio notify microphone listening start/stop

To enable a sound notification when a voice command is recognized and command execution begins, turn on the option:

Audio notify voice command execution

For voice translation of on-screen events and information about completed commands via speech synthesis, you can turn on the option:

Use voice synthesis to describe events on the screen.

Setting the Working Directory Using Command Line Arguments

To set the current working directory using a command-line argument, use:

python3 ./run.py --workdir="/path/to/workdir"

or, for the binary version:

pygpt.exe --workdir="/path/to/workdir"

Translations / Locale

Locale .ini files are located in the app directory:

./data/locale

This directory is automatically scanned when the application launches. To add a new translation, create and save the file with the appropriate name, for example:

locale.es.ini   

This will add Spanish as a selectable language in the application's language menu.

Overwriting CSS and locales with Your Own Files:

You can also overwrite files in the locale and css app directories with your own files in the user directory. This allows you to overwrite language files or CSS styles in a very simple way - by just creating files in your working directory.

{HOME_DIR}/.config/pygpt-net/

• locale - a directory for locales in .ini format.
• css - a directory for CSS styles in .css format.

Adding Your Own Fonts

You can add your own fonts and use them in CSS files. To load your own fonts, you should place them in the %workdir%/fonts directory. Supported font types include: otf, ttf. You can see the list of loaded fonts in Debug / Config.

Example:

%workdir%
|_css
|_data
|_fonts
   |_MyFont
     |_MyFont-Regular.ttf
     |_MyFont-Bold.ttf
     |...

pre {{
    font-family: 'MyFont';
}}

Data Loaders

Configuring data loaders

In the Settings -> LlamaIndex -> Data loaders section you can define the additional keyword arguments to pass into data loader instance.

In most cases, an internal LlamaIndex loaders are used internally. You can check these base loaders e.g. here:

File: https://github.com/run-llama/llama_index/tree/main/llama-index-integrations/readers/llama-index-readers-file/llama_index/readers/file

Web: https://github.com/run-llama/llama_index/tree/main/llama-index-integrations/readers/llama-index-readers-web

Tip: to index an external data or data from the Web just ask for it, by using Web Search plugin, e.g. you can ask the model with Please index the youtube video: URL to video, etc. Data loader for a specified content will be choosen automatically.

- PinecodeVectorStore
- RedisVectorStore
- SimpleVectorStore

You can configure selected vector store by providing config options like api_key, etc. in Settings -> LlamaIndex window.

Arguments provided here (on list: Vector Store (**kwargs) in Advanced settings will be passed to selected vector store provider. You can check keyword arguments needed by selected provider on LlamaIndex API reference page:

https://docs.llamaindex.ai/en/stable/api_reference/storage/vector_store.html

Which keyword arguments are passed to providers?

For ChromaVectorStore and SimpleVectorStore all arguments are set by PyGPT and passed internally (you do not need to configure anything).

For other providers you can provide these arguments:

ElasticsearchStore

Keyword arguments for ElasticsearchStore(**kwargs):

• index_name (default: current index ID, already set, not required)
• any other keyword arguments provided on list

PinecodeVectorStore

Keyword arguments for Pinecone(**kwargs):

• api_key
• index_name (default: current index ID, already set, not required)

RedisVectorStore

Keyword arguments for RedisVectorStore(**kwargs):

• index_name (default: current index ID, already set, not required)
• any other keyword arguments provided on list

You can extend list of available providers by creating custom provider and registering it on app launch.

By default, you are using chat-based mode when using Chat with Files. If you want to only query index (without chat) you can enable Query index only (without chat) option.

Adding custom vector stores and data loaders

You can create a custom vector store provider or data loader for your data and develop a custom launcher for the application.

See the section Extending PyGPT / Adding a custom Vector Store provider for more details.

Updates

Updating PyGPT

PyGPT comes with an integrated update notification system. When a new version with additional features is released, you'll receive an alert within the app.

To get the new version, simply download it and start using it in place of the old one. All your custom settings like configuration, presets, indexes, and past conversations will be kept and ready to use right away in the new version.

Debugging and Logging

In Settings -> Developer dialog, you can enable the Show debug menu option to turn on the debugging menu. The menu allows you to inspect the status of application elements. In the debugging menu, there is a Logger option that opens a log window. In the window, the program's operation is displayed in real-time.

Logging levels:

By default, all errors and exceptions are logged to the file:

{HOME_DIR}/.config/pygpt-net/app.log

To increase the logging level (ERROR level is default), run the application with --debug argument:

python3 run.py --debug=1

or

python3 run.py --debug=2

The value 1 enables the INFOlogging level.

The value 2 enables the DEBUG logging level (most information).

Compatibility (legacy) mode

If you have a problems with WebEngine / Chromium renderer you can force the legacy mode by launching the app with command line arguments:

python3 run.py --legacy=1

and to force disable OpenGL hardware acceleration:

python3 run.py --disable-gpu=1

You can also manualy enable legacy mode by editing config file - open the %WORKDIR%/config.json config file in editor and set the following options:

"render.engine": "legacy",
"render.open_gl": false,

Adding a custom model

To add a new model using the OpenAI API, LangChain, or LlamaIndex wrapper, use the editor in Config -> Models or manually edit the models.json file by inserting the model's configuration details. If you are adding a model via LangChain or LlamaIndex, ensure to include the model's name, its supported modes (either chat, completion, or both), the LLM provider (such as OpenAI or HuggingFace), and, if you are using an external API-based model, an optional API KEY along with any other necessary environment settings.

Example of models configuration - %WORKDIR%/models.json:

"gpt-3.5-turbo": {
    "id": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "name": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "mode": [
        "chat",
        "assistant",
        "langchain",
        "llama_index"
    ],
    "langchain": {
        "provider": "openai",
        "mode": [
            "chat"
        ],
        "args": [
            {
                "name": "model_name",
                "value": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
                "type": "str"
            }
        ],
        "env": [
            {
                "name": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
                "value": "{api_key}"
            }
        ]
    },
    "llama_index": {
        "provider": "openai",
        "mode": [
            "chat"
        ],
        "args": [
            {
                "name": "model",
                "value": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
                "type": "str"
            }
        ],
        "env": [
            {
                "name": "OPENAI_API_KEY",
                "value": "{api_key}"
            }
        ]
    },
    "ctx": 4096,
    "tokens": 4096,
    "default": false
},

There is built-in support for those LLM providers:

- `OpenAI` (openai)
- `Azure OpenAI` (azure_openai)
- `Google` (google)
- `HuggingFace API` (huggingface_api)
- `Anthropic` (anthropic)
- `Ollama` (ollama)

Tip: {api_key} in models.json is a placeholder for the main OpenAI API KEY from the settings. It will be replaced by the configured key value.

Adding a custom plugin

Creating Your Own Plugin

You can create your own plugin for PyGPT. The plugin can be written in Python and then registered with the application just before launching it. All plugins included with the app are stored in the plugin directory - you can use them as coding examples for your own plugins.

Examples (tutorial files)

See the example plugin in this examples directory:

• examples/example_plugin.py

These example file can be used as a starting point for creating your own plugin for PyGPT.

To register a custom plugin:

• Create a custom launcher for the app.

• Pass a list with the custom plugin instances as plugins keyword argument.

Example of a custom launcher:

# custom_launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM
from vector_stores import CustomVectorStore

plugins = [
    CustomPlugin(),
    OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = [
    CustomVectorStore(),
]

run(
    plugins=plugins,
    llms=llms,
    vector_stores=vector_stores,
)

Handling events

In the plugin, you can receive and modify dispatched events. To do this, create a method named handle(self, event, *args, **kwargs) and handle the received events like here:

# custom_plugin.py

from pygpt_net.core.events import Event


def handle(self, event: Event, *args, **kwargs):
    """
    Handle dispatched events

    :param event: event object
    """
    name = event.name
    data = event.data
    ctx = event.ctx

    if name == Event.INPUT_BEFORE:
        self.some_method(data['value'])
    elif name == Event.CTX_BEGIN:
        self.some_other_method(ctx)
    else:
    	# ...

List of Events

Event names are defined in Event class in pygpt_net.core.events.

Syntax: event name - triggered on, event data (data type):

• AI_NAME - when preparing an AI name, data['value'] (string, name of the AI assistant)

• AGENT_PROMPT - on agent prompt in eval mode, data['value'] (string, prompt)

• AUDIO_INPUT_RECORD_START - start audio input recording

• AUDIO_INPUT_RECORD_STOP - stop audio input recording

• AUDIO_INPUT_RECORD_TOGGLE - toggle audio input recording

• CTX_AFTER - after the context item is sent, ctx

• CTX_BEFORE - before the context item is sent, ctx

• CTX_BEGIN - when context item create, ctx

• CTX_END - when context item handling is finished, ctx

• CTX_SELECT - when context is selected on list, data['value'] (int, ctx meta ID)

• USER_SEND - just before the input text is sent, data['value'] (string, input text)

You can stop the propagation of a received event at any time by setting stop to True:

event.stop = True

Events flow can be debugged by enabling the option Config -> Settings -> Developer -> Log and debug events.

Adding a custom LLM provider

Handling LLMs with LangChain and LlamaIndex is implemented through separated wrappers. This allows for the addition of support for any provider and model available via LangChain or LlamaIndex. All built-in wrappers for the models and its providers are placed in the pygpt_net.provider.llms.

These wrappers are loaded into the application during startup using launcher.add_llm() method:

# app.py

from pygpt_net.provider.llms.openai import OpenAILLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.azure_openai import AzureOpenAILLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.anthropic import AnthropicLLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.hugging_face import HuggingFaceLLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.ollama import OllamaLLM
from pygpt_net.provider.llms.google import GoogleLLM


def run(**kwargs):
    """Runs the app."""
    # Initialize the app
    launcher = Launcher()
    launcher.init()

    # Register plugins
    ...

    # Register langchain and llama-index LLMs wrappers
    launcher.add_llm(OpenAILLM())
    launcher.add_llm(AzureOpenAILLM())
    launcher.add_llm(AnthropicLLM())
    launcher.add_llm(HuggingFaceLLM())
    launcher.add_llm(OllamaLLM())
    launcher.add_llm(GoogleLLM())

    # Launch the app
    launcher.run()

To add support for providers not included by default, you can create your own wrapper that returns a custom model to the application and then pass this custom wrapper to the launcher.

Extending PyGPT with custom plugins and LLM wrappers is straightforward:

• Pass instances of custom plugins and LLM wrappers directly to the launcher.

To register custom LLM wrappers:

• Provide a list of LLM wrapper instances as llms keyword argument.

Example:

# launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM

plugins = [
    CustomPlugin(),
    OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    CustomLLM(),  # <--- custom LLM provider (wrapper)
]
vector_stores = []

run(
    plugins=plugins, 
    llms=llms, 
    vector_stores=vector_stores,
)

Examples (tutorial files)

See the examples directory in this repository with examples of custom launcher, plugin, vector store, LLM (LangChain and LlamaIndex) provider and data loader:

• examples/custom_launcher.py

• examples/example_audio_input.py

• examples/example_audio_output.py

• examples/example_data_loader.py

• examples/example_llm.py <-- use it as an example

• examples/example_plugin.py

• examples/example_vector_store.py

• examples/example_web_search.py

These example files can be used as a starting point for creating your own extensions for PyGPT.

To integrate your own model or provider into PyGPT, you can also reference the classes located in the pygpt_net.provider.llms. These samples can act as an more complex example for your custom class. Ensure that your custom wrapper class includes two essential methods: chat and completion. These methods should return the respective objects required for the model to operate in chat and completion modes.

Every single LLM provider (wrapper) inherits from BaseLLM class and can provide 3 components: provider for LangChain, provider for LlamaIndex, and provider for Embeddings.

Adding a custom vector store provider

You can create a custom vector store provider or data loader for your data and develop a custom launcher for the application. To register your custom vector store provider or data loader, simply register it by passing the vector store provider instance to vector_stores keyword argument and loader instance in the loaders keyword argument:

# app.py

# vector stores
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.chroma import ChromaProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.elasticsearch import ElasticsearchProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.pinecode import PinecodeProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.redis import RedisProvider
from pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.simple import SimpleProvider

def run(**kwargs):
    # ...
    # register base vector store providers (llama-index)
    launcher.add_vector_store(ChromaProvider())
    launcher.add_vector_store(ElasticsearchProvider())
    launcher.add_vector_store(PinecodeProvider())
    launcher.add_vector_store(RedisProvider())
    launcher.add_vector_store(SimpleProvider())

    # register custom vector store providers (llama-index)
    vector_stores = kwargs.get('vector_stores', None)
    if isinstance(vector_stores, list):
        for store in vector_stores:
            launcher.add_vector_store(store)

    # ...

To register your custom vector store provider just register it by passing provider instance in vector_stores keyword argument:

# custom_launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM
from vector_stores import CustomVectorStore

plugins = [
    CustomPlugin(),
    OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = [
    CustomVectorStore(),  # <--- custom vector store provider
]

run(
    plugins=plugins,
    llms=llms,
    vector_stores=vector_stores,
)

The vector store provider must be an instance of pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores.base.BaseStore. You can review the code of the built-in providers in pygpt_net.provider.vector_stores and use them as examples when creating a custom provider.

Adding a custom data loader

# custom_launcher.py

from pygpt_net.app import run
from plugins import CustomPlugin, OtherCustomPlugin
from llms import CustomLLM
from vector_stores import CustomVectorStore
from loaders import CustomLoader

plugins = [
    CustomPlugin(),
    OtherCustomPlugin(),
]
llms = [
    CustomLLM(),
]
vector_stores = [
    CustomVectorStore(),
]
loaders = [
    CustomLoader(),  # <---- custom data loader
]

run(
    plugins=plugins,
    llms=llms,
    vector_stores=vector_stores,  # <--- list with custom vector store providers
    loaders=loaders  # <--- list with custom data loaders
)

The data loader must be an instance of pygpt_net.provider.loaders.base.BaseLoader. You can review the code of the built-in loaders in pygpt_net.provider.loaders and use them as examples when creating a custom loader.
