Summary

Create an Email Lyrics bot in Python with SendGrid and OpenAI's ChatGPT is a project that utilizes OpenAI's GPT to generate lyrics for a given artist, which are then sent via email using Twilio SendGrid. The prerequisites include having Python 3 installed, an OpenAI API key, a free SendGrid account, and a domain on which the emails will be received. The code involves installing dependencies such as Flask, the SendGrid library, and OpenAI's Python library, and setting up environment variables for the SendGrid API key. A function is created to generate lyrics in the style of a given artist using OpenAI's GPT, and another function is created to send emails using SendGrid. The application defines a single web route that receives incoming emails and responds with computer-generated lyrics. To receive emails, domain authentication is set up with Twilio SendGrid, and an ngrok tunnel is used to create a public URL for the Flask app. A final MX record is added to define the email-receiving domain in the DNS configuration of the domain provider. The application can be tested by sending a test email, which invokes the ngrok webhook URL, triggering the Flask endpoint to respond with computer-generated lyrics.
