In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to leverage the OpenAI ChatCompletion API to auto-generate and refine code snippets for HTML/JavaScript, Python data analysis, code commenting, and SQL DDL tasks. By the end, you’ll know how to integrate AI-powered coding assistance directly into your development workflow.

Setup

First, install the OpenAI Python package if you haven’t already:
Then import the modules and set your API key (either via OPENAI_API_KEY in your environment or by uncommenting the manual assignment).
Define helper functions to request completions and clean up the returned code:

1. HTML/JavaScript Code Generation

Define a prompt to build a simple webpage with a button that cycles the background color through red, green, and blue. Request only the code:
Example output:
You can render this in a Jupyter notebook via IPython’s display utilities or save it as an .html file and open it in your browser.

2. Python Data-Science Script Creation

Generate a Python script using Pandas to load the Iris dataset, preview its rows, and save it as a CSV file:
Expected result:

4. SQL DDL & Query Generation

Generate SQL statements to create a table, insert CSV rows, and query customers from Chile:
