I Created a Smart Name Generator Using the ChatGPT API

I used OpenAI's ChatGPT large language model engine to create a super-cool online name generator app. You can generate names for businesses, people, bands and even titles for articles and books--and the results are phenomenal!

I Created a Smart Name Generator Using the ChatGPT API

OpenAI has unleashed a glorious tool for all to use freely: that is, ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a large language model AI engine that can answer questions, not only accurately, but in a way that seems indistinguishable from a human being.

It's truly amazing technology.

I've been reading many articles about the various things people have been doing with ChatGPT. The uses are basically unlimited, but I decided to put my wits to the test and come up with some ideas on my own. I've already created a telephone system IVR that uses Twilio's Programmable Voice service and ChatGPT as the backend. You can check out that article here.

Then I thought, well, I'm always trying to come up with business names for the companies I work with, and also names for my blog articles as well, so why not see how ChatGPT can help there as well? Sure enough, the results are phenomenal!

You can find the app I created here: smartname.app.

Here's how it works. First, you enter some search criteria:

Enter Search Criteria

Then you click Generate and be ready to be amazed!

And here's another example for a heavy metal band:

And another for a feminine person born in the summer:

Finally, an example for a book about overcoming depression:

As you can see, the results are downright impressive. I plan to keep this service online and free for all to use who would like to. I also welcome your feedback and suggestions!

Is there a way I can integrate this tool on my own WordPress website so that readers can perform name searches?

This service uses OpenAI's ChatGPT api to generate names. You could integrate Wordpress to OpenAI. There is a PHP library for OpenAI: https://packagist.org/packages/openai-php/client. Hope that helps!

Needs work. Cannot use commas in the context to add additional descriptors. Choice of things too.. Tried - Business with Audiophile... It produced an error.

Hey, sorry I didn't get this earlier. I tried using commas and the words you posted and I'm not getting any error. But then again, I've updated the code several times since you posted this so maybe I already fixed whatever was wrong. Let me know if you have any further issues! --Jay
