Build a ChatGPT Clone with Workers AI Workshop

Workers AI allows you to run machine learning models, on the Cloudflare network, from your own code – whether that be from Workers, Pages, or anywhere via REST API.

In this hands-on session, you will learn how to harness the power of Cloudflare's global network and Workers AI to create smart conversational chatbots. By the end of this workshop, you will have the skills to develop your own chatbots capable of engaging in natural and interesting conversations.

• Cloudflare Account: You'll need an active Cloudflare account. If you don't have one, sign up at Cloudflare.

• Basic Knowledge of JavaScript: Familiarity with JavaScript will be beneficial, as we will be writing code to deploy the chatbot.

• A Code Editor: You should have a code editor of your choice (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Stackblitz, GitHub Codespaces, or any other) installed on your system or accessible on your browser.
