What You'll Build
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to build an AI-powered user feedback system using React and OpenAI's GPT-4 API. This system will allow users to submit feedback, which the AI will categorize and analyze, providing insights into user sentiment and common issues. The benefits of this system include automated feedback analysis, reduced manual workload, and improved user experience. Expect to spend about 3-4 hours following this guide.
Quick Start (TL;DR)
- Set up a React app with Create React App.
- Integrate the OpenAI API using axios.
- Create feedback form components.
- Implement AI-driven analysis for feedback categorization.
- Deploy your application using Vercel or Netlify.
Prerequisites & Setup
Before starting, ensure you have Node.js (v18+), npm (v9+), and a basic understanding of React. You'll also need an OpenAI API key. Set up your development environment with Visual Studio Code and install necessary extensions like Prettier and ESLint for code formatting and linting.
