[MlMt] OpenAI API Key Bundle -

[Jim Bates]

It's particularly helpful with newsfeeds/newsgroups ;)

I'm in a bunch of Groups.io/Google Groups/few Mailman too... It just summarizes long threads really quickly...

I also use a similar command line function to call OpenAI functions: Emulating ChatGPT for text queries. You can make a LOT of calls for very little $. You can ALSO change the OpenAI Model to suit your preference.
