GPT-4 Email Support for Chrome Extension

This Chrome extension uses GPT-4 to read and answer support emails in Gmail, utilizing documents to answer specific emails characterized only for your company. It automatically generates responses for emails by utilizing a separate backend API built with Django. The extension adds a "Generate Response" button to Gmail's interface, which, when clicked, sends the email content to the backend API. The API processes the email and returns a generated response, which is then inserted into the reply composer of the same email thread.

Prerequisites

• Google Chrome Browser
• A running instance of the Django backend API

Setup

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/vshulya/support_chrome_extension.git

Setup for backend

1. Navigating to the Backend folder

cd chrome-extension-backend

2. Install the required Python packages
