💡 Takeaways

By considering the different ways to integrate with ChatGPT in their mobile or web app, businesses can select the approach that aligns best with their needs and resources. Whether a business is looking for a quick and easy solution or a customized chatbot with advanced capabilities, there is a method available to help take their app to the next level.

When it comes down to specific options, there are 3 major approaches to choose from:

• API integration — just a direct “window” within your app so users can ask ChatGPT something.
• Using a chatbot builder platform — a quick and simple way to build a chatbot with GPT-3 integration but limited functionality.
• Custom implementation — custom development will require the most resources yet will open up the broadest customization possibilities.
