AI Integration
OpenAI APIs can tie your no-code built app to the power of AI. OpenAI has APIs for ChatGPT and Whisper. (Whisper is a speech recognition system.) Pricing is pay-as-you-go.
Bubble has a solid how-to on building a ChatGPT clone using Bubble with the OpenAI API. Not a bad place to start.
