Distracted Boyfriend AI Meme Generator

This Python project generates your own Distracted Boyfriend meme.

You input in a topic of interest and LangChain and OpenAI generate the text for the meme. We pass this on to Imgflip to generate the actual meme.

With LangChain we:

1. Describe the Distracted Boyfriend meme
2. Generate text based on a topic you input
3. Leverage LangChains ResponseSchema, StructuredOutputParser and ChatPromptTemplate to return a determinate JSON response
4. Grab the text from the response and send that off to Imgflip to generate the meme

This app runs locally on your machine with Flask.

This project was started with the OpenAI python quickstart repo.
