Developed a job description summarizer using OpenAI GPT-3 to be used as a Chrome Ext

Job Description Summarizer

I've built a Chrome Extension that allows you to copy-past a job description, and it returns you a summary of that job description. This is the first iteration of the application (I'm still learning how to build a chrome extension). The job description is fed into a GPT-3 model by OpenAI using a simple prompt, almost similar to how you'd interact with ChatGPT. I'm making this public in case anybody wants to re-create this application and use it in their job search.

In order to re-create and use the extension (I'll assume you are familiar with the command line), follow the steps below:

1. Clone the repository in your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/farhan0167/job-desc-summarizer.git

2. There are two directories, my-app and backend.
3. Go to the backend directory and spin the flask server:
   1. CD into the directory

      cd backend

   2. Install a virtual environment

      python3 -m venv venv

   3. Activate the venv:

      source vevn/bin/activate

   4. Install all the dependencies:

      pip install -r requirements.txt

   5. Before you spin up your flask server, go to OpenAI API to create an account
      1. Create an account here
      2. Once you created an account, navigate to their API key. I'll assume that you don't have an account with them yet because it will enable you to get $18 in free credits. You can access your keys by clicking on the right-most corner of the screen where you see your name or org > View API Key. Click "+ Create new secret key". Copy your secret key and navigate to the .env file the repo you cloned earlier in job-desc-summarizer/backend/.env. Within the .env file, paste your secret key after OPENAI_API_SECRET_KEY= by replacing replace-with-your-key with your key.
   6. Now spin up your flask server:

      python3 app.py

4. Now we'll create a Chrome Extension. Simply go to the my-app directory and run the following:
   1. CD into the my-app directory in a new terminal window:

      cd job-desc-summarizer/my-app

   2. Install npm dependencies(make sure to have node installed in your system):

      npm install

   3. Build the project:

      npm run build

      You'll notice it creates a new build folder.
   4. Open Google Chrome and navigate to the extensions tab > Enable Developer Tools. You can click on settings and find Extensions on the left nav pane towards the bottom
   5. Select Load Unpacked, and select the build folder that was created earlier. And you are all set to use the extension.
