Technical requirements

For this chapter, you will need a web browser and a stable internet connection to access the ChatGPT platform and set up your account. You will also need to have your OpenAI account setup and have obtained your API key. If not, revisit Chapter 1 for details. Basic familiarity with the Python programming language and working with the command line is necessary, as you’ll be using Python 3.x, which needs to be installed on your system, for working with the OpenAI GPT API and creating Python scripts. A code editor will also be essential for writing and editing Python code and prompt files as you work through the recipes in this chapter. Since we will be discussing APTs specifically for Windows systems, access to a Windows environment (preferably Windows Server) is essential.

Familiarity with the following subjects can be helpful:
