Get an OpenAI API key (https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys). Make sure to add billing information.

You can test your token validity with this command that executes a completion on "hello world"

TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
completion_openai() {curl -X POST https://api.openai.com/v1/completions -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -d "{  \"model\": \"text-davinci-003\",  \"prompt\": \"$1\",  \"n\": 1}" | tr -d '\n' | jq '.choices[0].text'}
completion_openai "hello world"

Save this secret. Create a new file in your SlackGPT folder called .env. Replace the string in this env file with your actual OpenAI token. Details: https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/introduction

openai_token = "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"

Alternatively, use this command at the root directory to add this secret at run time.

slack env add openai_token "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
