Create a ChatGPT Account

Getting set up with ChatGPT

Before we get into the documentation, be sure to have a ChatGPT account set up.

Go to chat.openai.com and create an account.

Once you have created your account and verified your email you will be in the ChatGPT console.

At the bottom of the screen you will see a text input to insert text and on the top left you will have a new chat button. To generate a response type in the input text and click send. GPT will generate a response back to you.

GPT keeps a memory of the questions and responses in any given chat. As an example, letโ€™s ask GPT to

chatgpt-3.5
write some lyrics in the style of metallica

Then ask it to

chatgpt-3.5
rewrite the above in the style of dr. seuss

If you're seeing responses, then you have successfully signed up and ChatGPT is working as expected. The prompts and concept above is extremely relevant to us as developers when we are constantly referring to previously generated items asking for help on exceptions or conversions from one language, library, or component to another. The concept of memory in a large language model is called "prompt context" and is one of 5 prompting concepts we will cover in the documentation.
