Make your own private ChatGPT
Introduction Creating your own private ChatGPT allows you to leverage AI capabilities while ensuring data privacy and security. This guide walks you through building a secure, customized chatbot using tools like Azure OpenAI, Cosmos DB and Azure App service. Why Build a Private ChatGPT? With the rise of AI-driven applications, organizations, people often face challenges related to data privacy, customization, and integration. Building a private ChatGPT addresses these concerns by: Maintaining Data Privacy: Keep sensitive information within your infrastructure. Customizing Responses: Tailor the chatbot’s behavior and language to suit your requirements. Ensuring Security: Leverage enterprise-grade security protocols. Avoiding Data Sharing: Prevent your data from being used to train external models. If organizations do not take these measures their data may go into future model training and can leak your sensitive data to public. Eg: Chatgpt collects personal data mentioned in their privacy policy Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have: Access to Azure OpenAI Service. A development environment set up with Python. Basic knowledge of FastAPI and MongoDB. An Azure account with necessary permissions. If you do not have Azure subscription, try Azure for students for FREE. Step 1: Set Up Azure OpenAI Log in to the Azure Portal and create an Azure OpenAI resource. Deploy a model, such as GPT-4o (multimodal), and note down the endpoint and API key. Note there is also an option of keyless authentication. Configure permissions to control access. Step 2: Use Chatgpt like app sample You can select any repository to be as base template for your app, in this I will be using the third option AOAIchat. It is developed by me. GitHub - mckaywrigley/chatbot-ui: AI chat for any model. Azure-Samples/azure-search-openai-demo: A sample app for the Retrieval-Augmented Generation pattern running in Azure, using Azure AI Search for retrieval and Azure OpenAI large language models to power ChatGPT-style and Q&A experiences. sourabhkv/AOAIchat: Azure OpenAI chat This architecture diagram represents a typical flow for a private ChatGPT application with the following components: App UX (User Interface): This is the front-end application (mobile, web, or desktop) where users interact with the chatbot. It sends the user's input (prompt) and displays the AI's responses. App Service: Acts as the backend application, handling user requests and coordinating with other services. Functions: Receives user inputs and prepares them for processing by the Azure OpenAI service. Streams AI responses back to the App UX. Reads from and writes to Cosmos DB to manage chat history. Azure OpenAI Service: This is the core AI service, processing the user input and generating responses using models like GPT-4o. The App Service sends the user input (along with context) to this service and receives the AI-generated responses. Cosmos DB: A NoSQL database used to store and manage chat history. Operations: Writes user messages and AI-generated responses for future reference or analysis. Reads chat history to provide context for AI responses, enabling more intelligent and contextual conversations. Data Flow: User inputs are sent from the App UX to the App Service. The App Service forwards the input (with additional context, if needed) to Azure OpenAI. Azure OpenAI generates a response, which is streamed back to the App UX via the App Service. The App Service writes user inputs and AI responses to Cosmos DB for persistence. This architecture ensures scalability, secure data handling, and the ability to provide contextual responses by integrating database and AI services. What can you do with my template? AOAIchat supports personal, enterprise chat enabled by RAG People can enable RAG mode if they want to search within their database, else it behaves like normal ChatGPT. It supports multimodality, (supports image, text input) also depends on model deployed in Azure AI foundry. Step 3: Deploy to Azure Deploy a Cosmos DB account in nearest region Deploy Azure OpenAI model (gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini recommended) Deploy Azure App service, try using container I would recommend B1plan to your nearest region, select docker registry sourabhkv/aoaichatdb:0.1 startup command uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80 After app service starts, put all environment variables The application requires the following environment variables to be set for proper configuration: Environment Variable Description AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT The endpoint for Azure OpenAI API. AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY API key for accessing Azure OpenAI. DEPLOYMENT_NAME Azure OpenAI deployment name. API_VERSION API version for Azure OpenAI. MAX_TOKENS Maximum tokens for API responses. MONGO_DETAILS MongoDB connection string. AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=<your_azure_openai_endpoint> AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_azure_openai_api_key> DEPLOYMENT_NAME=<your_deployment_name> API_VERSION=<your_api_version> MAX_TOKENS=<max_tokens> MONGO_DETAILS=<your_mongo_connection_string> Optional feature: implement authentication to secure access. Within app service select Authentication and select service providers. I went with Entra based authentication with single tenant. There is option of multi-tenant, personal accounts as well. Restart App service and within 2 minutes your private ChatGPT is ready. Pricing Pricing may depend on the plan you have deployed resources and region. Check Azure calculator for price estimation. My estimate for pricing I deployed all my resources in Sweden central Cosmos DB config - Cosmos DB for MongoDB (RU) serverless config with single write master, 2 GB transactional storage, 2 backup plan (FREE) ~ 0.75$ Azure OpenAI service - plan S0, model gpt-4o-mini global deployment, Input 20000 tokens, Output 10000 tokens ~ 9.00$ App service plan - OS Linux, Tier B1, instance count 1 ~13.14$ Total monthly cost = 22.89$ This price may vary in future, in region I calculated my configuration in Azure calculator Governance Azure OpenAI provides content filters to block any kind of input that violates responsible AI practices. Categories include Hate and Fairness Sexual Violence Self-harm User Prompt Attacks (direct and indirect) The content filtering system detects and takes action on specific categories of potentially harmful content in both input prompts and output completions. Azure OpenAI Service includes default safety settings applied to all models set as medium. Content filters can be modified to different level depending on use case. It supports RAG, I have provided detailed solution for it in my GitHub. Practical implementation GE Aerospace, in partnership with Microsoft and Accenture, has launched a company-wide generative AI platform, leveraging Microsoft Azure and Azure OpenAI Service. This solution aims to transform asset tracking and compliance in aviation, enabling quick access to maintenance records and reducing manual processing time from days to minutes.
