About tweetGPT
tweetGPT is a Chrome extension that generates tweets and replies using OpenAI's ChatGPT. The open-source community edition described here relies on the user's own OpenAI API key and does not use any proprietary backend. It allows users to select from various tweet types such as positive, negative, or controversial, and then generates content accordingly. For replies, it bases the generated text on the original tweet; for new tweets, it prompts the user for a topic. The extension is designed to integrate directly into the Twitter web interface, adding a button under the tweet composition area. Note that this repository has been archived and is no longer maintained; the developer points to a proprietary version available at typebar.app.
