🤖 AI Integration Methods

Complete Guide to Embedding AI in Your Python Admin Panel

🌐 Method 1: API-Based AI Integration RECOMMENDED

Use cloud-based AI APIs from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Azure. This is the fastest and most powerful approach.

1.1 OpenAI API Integration (GPT-4, GPT-3.5)

Python import openai from flask import Flask, request, jsonify app = Flask(__name__) openai.api_key = "your-api-key-here" class AIAdminAssistant: def __init__(self): self.conversation_history = [] def ask_ai(self, user_query, context=None): """Ask AI copilot a question with optional context""" messages = [ {"role": "system", "content": """You are an AI assistant for the hx7 admin panel. You help administrators manage apps, users, security, and operations. You can execute commands, provide insights, and make recommendations."""} ] # Add context about current admin state if context: messages.append({ "role": "system", "content": f"Current system state: {context}" }) # Add conversation history messages.extend(self.conversation_history) # Add user query messages.append({"role": "user", "content": user_query}) # Call OpenAI API response = openai.ChatCompletion.create( model="gpt-4", messages=messages, temperature=0.7, max_tokens=1000 ) ai_response = response.choices[0].message.content # Save to history self.conversation_history.append({"role": "user", "content": user_query}) self.conversation_history.append({"role": "assistant", "content": ai_response}) return ai_response # Example usage ai_assistant = AIAdminAssistant() @app.route('/ai/query', methods=['POST']) def ai_query(): data = request.json query = data.get('query') # Get system context context = { "active_users": 1543, "apps_online": 8, "security_alerts": 3 } response = ai_assistant.ask_ai(query, context) return jsonify({"response": response})

1.2 Anthropic Claude API Integration
