OpenChatbot iOS

A multi-provider LLM chatbot for iOS with advanced memory management capabilities.

🧠 Context Management Experiment

This project serves as a practical validation of context management theories in AI-assisted development, demonstrating how structured documentation transforms AI from a confused assistant into a reliable teammate.

Building upon the theoretical framework from "AIコーディング：「Vibe Coding」からプロフェッショナルへ", this source code proves that proper context management is more important than AI model intelligence.

Key Results:

• 3x faster development velocity with AI pair programming
• 100% test coverage maintained throughout development
• Instant AI onboarding: New assistants productive in under 5 minutes
• Zero context drift: Documentation consistency across all sessions
• Single source of truth: All context centralized with clear routing

🤖 AI-Assisted Requirement Engineering

The project requirements were initially developed using our custom Software Requirement Expert (Japanese) GPTs, which specializes in requirement analysis and specification creation through structured questioning. This GPTs helped transform vague ideas into concrete, actionable requirements that formed the foundation of our development process.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/phuc-nt/open-chatbot.git
   cd open-chatbot/ios

2. Open in Xcode

   open OpenChatbot.xcodeproj

3. Configure API Keys

   • Launch the app
   • Go to Settings
   • Add your OpenRouter API key
   • Select your preferred models
