Gobble Bot: Your All-in-One Content Digester
Gobble Bot is a free tool designed to consolidate diverse content sources into a single text file. This is particularly useful for training custom GPT chatbots, which often have limitations on the number of files or the types of content they can directly ingest. If you're looking to build a chatbot using data from a website, YouTube video, or numerous files, Gobble Bot simplifies the process.
Key Features
- Versatile Input: Supports websites, YouTube videos (with transcripts), and a wide range of file types including .TXT, .MD, .PDF, .DOC, .DOCX, .HTML, .CSV, and many more.
- Unified Output: Converts all your input sources into a single, easily manageable text file, perfect for chatbot training.
- Local Processing: All processing happens directly on your device, ensuring data privacy and security. No data is uploaded to external servers, except for website URLs which are sent to a third-party scraping API (but these are publicly available anyway).
- Free to Use: Currently free, with potential for future usage-based pricing.
Why Use Gobble Bot?
Building a custom GPT chatbot often involves overcoming the hurdle of data format compatibility. Gobble Bot eliminates this problem by providing a single, unified text file regardless of the original source material. This streamlines the chatbot training process, saving you time and effort.
Limitations
As a small weekend project, Gobble Bot has some known limitations:
- Large PDFs: May not handle extremely large PDF files efficiently.
- ePUB/MOBI: Currently does not support these formats.
- Complex Sitemaps: May struggle with websites that have very complex sitemaps.
Data Handling and Privacy
Gobble Bot prioritizes user data security. All processing occurs locally on your device. While website URLs are sent to a third-party scraping API, this only involves publicly accessible information. Basic analytics are collected to improve the app's performance, but no personally identifiable information is collected.
Future Enhancements
Future development may include:
- API integration
- User accounts
- Cloud storage connectivity (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.)
- Automatic resync
- Parallel content crawling
