Rust GPT Chat Client

This is a simple Rust-based CLI application that interacts with a GPT-like API to generate responses based on user input. The app communicates with the AIML API using Hyper for HTTP requests, and the dotenv crate is used to manage API keys securely. The app utilizes spinners to provide feedback while waiting for responses from the API.

Features

• CLI Interface: Type your query and get concise, straight-to-the-point responses from the AI.
• Customizable: Supports changing parameters such as temperature, max tokens, and model.
• Spinners: Provides a waiting animation to indicate when the model is processing.
• Environment Configuration: Uses .env for secure API key management.

Requirements

• Rust (latest stable version)
• tokio async runtime
• .env file containing the API key
