Build a ChatGPT Clone with Workers AI Workshop

Workers AI allows you to run machine learning models, on the Cloudflare network, from your own code – whether that be from Workers, Pages, or anywhere via REST API.

In this hands-on session, you will learn how to harness the power of Cloudflare's global network and Workers AI to create smart conversational chatbots. By the end of this workshop, you will have the skills to develop your own chatbots capable of engaging in natural and interesting conversations.
