Configuration for use with OpenAI (ChatGPT)

{
  "key": "sk-XXXYYYZZZAAABBB123",
  "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
  "persona": "You are a helpful voice assistant with a friendly tone and fun sense of humor. You respond in 40 words or fewer.",
  "enable_memory": true,
  "memory_size": 15,
  "__mycroft_skill_firstrun": false
}

Configuration for use with Local AI

When using a local AI server instead of OpenAI, the api_url has to redirect to an alternative/local server compatible with OpenAI API. When using local AI, the key can be anything, but it has to exist. Read more about it in the OVOS technical manual, page persona server

Hint: If you're running an ollama server, you can use http://localhost:11434/v1 as the api_url.

{
  "api_url": "https://llama.smartgic.io/v1",
  "key": "sk-xxx",
  "model": "llama3:latest",
  "persona": "You are a helpful voice assistant with a friendly tone and fun sense of humor. You respond in 40 words or fewer.",
  "enable_memory": true,
  "memory_size": 15,
  "name": "A.I.",
  "confirmation": false,
  "__mycroft_skill_firstrun": false
}
