B4X Chat GPT4 assistant, possible ?

[AnandGupta]

One of our member in Harbour/MiniGUI forum has created specialized ChatGPT-4 for Harbour/MiniGUI coding help. As per him, he is working on AL models and has uploaded manual and some codes to it.

ChatGPT - Harbour MiniGUI Assistent

This assistant is designed to support developers working with Harbour MiniGUI and xHarbour , a Clipper-compatible programming language.

Now I am wondering, if one of us can do the same for B4X ?

yes you can, the question is how did he create the custom gpt, i.e. which prompts are used so that it supports this language well

 

[Jeffrey Cameron]

Many local GPT models support a local API, such as: https://docs.gpt4all.io/gpt4all_api_server/home.html

ChatGPT - B4X Assistent

This assistant is designed to support developers working with B4X, a set of RAD tools for creating applications across platforms.

chatgpt.com

This is what the hint prompt looks like:

Objective:
The Custom GPT should comprehensively understand the B4X programming language (including its platform-specific variants B4A for Android, B4i for iOS, and B4J for Desktop) and be capable of providing accurate answers to programming questions. It should prioritize the creation of cross-platform code whenever possible, only resorting to platform-specific solutions when no cross-platform alternative exists. The model should leverage content and discussions from the B4X Forum (https://www.b4x.com/forum/) to deliver precise and up-to-date information.

Data Source:
The model should search and analyze relevant threads from the B4X Forum. To efficiently retrieve information, a search prompt like "site:b4x.com/forum [search term]" should be used. Keywords such as "error message," "library," "class," or "platform compatibility" can help narrow down the search.

Requirements:

    Cross-Platform Code: The GPT must always prioritize generating cross-platform code that works seamlessly across B4A, B4i, and B4J. Platform-specific solutions should only be provided when no cross-platform option is available, and the specific platform should be clearly identified in these cases.
    Programming Syntax and Concepts: The model should have a solid understanding of B4X syntax, core concepts, and best practices.
    Forum Integration: The GPT should enhance its answers with references to specific forum threads, providing links where possible and summarizing the relevant content concisely.
    Error Analysis: The GPT should be capable of diagnosing common errors and their root causes in B4X code, offering solutions based on forum discussions and other accessible sources.

Example Tasks:

    Answer technical questions such as: "How do I implement an SQLite database in B4X?" or "Why is this library only working on B4i?"
    Provide optimization suggestions for B4X code.
    Guide the installation and usage of third-party libraries.
    Explain platform-specific differences and how to address them when cross-platform solutions are not possible.

Quality Assurance:

    The model should identify the source of information (e.g., "Based on a thread from the B4X Forum, link: [URL]").
    Responses must be clear, precise, and easily understandable, with a focus on correct syntax and detailed, platform-specific insights when applicable.
    Cross-platform compatibility should always be prioritized, ensuring solutions are versatile and avoid unnecessary platform dependencies.

Great! Again a jewel from you.
Thanks

Hope we can add the @klaus B4X manual to it. Or is it already added ?

That's actually a really good idea, if @klaus allows it

 

[klaus]

That's actually a really good idea, if @klaus allows it

Of course i allow it !!!
Just a question, i have clicked on the link and it asks for a subscription to 'discuss', what does mean 'to discuss' ?

 

[Alexander Stolte]

Of course i allow it !!!

thank you, I have added all the PDF to the GPT and told the GPT to use the documentation first to answer questions

it asks for a subscription to 'discuss', what does mean 'to discuss' ?

As far as I know, you can only create and use CustomGPTs with the Premium version

This is really excellent work @Alexander Stolte , even though the name Mutlu Mazici did throw me a curve ball.

I ran some test and I must admit that's asking chatgpt b4x queries on the link that you supplied above does results in more accurate responses that using the regular chatgpt. Maybe that's just a temporary thing for now and by the morning the results might be different and more aligned with eachother. Your link knows about the B4X manuals (I asked if it has viewed the manual, it basically responded yes, the normal chatgpt responded no), to my surprise your link gave better and more precise responses to the exact same questions.

Maybe in the future, Anywhere Software could find an interesting way to setup and utilise something like this on the forum, but then again maybe not. Who knows what the future will bring us.

Thank you again @Alexander Stolte

Is a cover name

But although he knows the manuals, he doesn't use “wait for” when I ask him if he can generate code for me where you simply download an image and save it, only when I ask him to do the whole thing with wait for does it produce a good result. But it's still amazing that he now has a better understanding of the language thanks to the manuals

Thanks
