Open the browser and navigate to the ChatGPT interface and login.
-
Type any message and hit the send button to receive the output from ChatGPT over websocket, or send an input to the extension via websocket.
The extension creates a websocket connection to the example server, which in turn communicates with the official ChatGPT API to send inputs and receive outputs. The server then sends the output back to the extension through the websocket connection, which displays the output to the user.
