Build an AI Web App with OpenAI's GPT-3: Full SaaS Tutorial

Overview

Hi there! My name is Alvin and I am the CTO of EZread, an education-based website that provides students with summaries of their textbooks using the power of GPT-3 artificial intelligence.

In this course, we will be using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js) to build a full stack SaaS web application that leverages GPT-3.
