Ideas?

There is no way to use it in the frontend securely. Communicating with OpenAI will have to happen on the backend and to prevent anyone from abusing your API, it will have to be protected by authentication.

Yeah sounds like OP is advertising an MVP that you can run in localhost with the sole purpose of proving a concept. There's no way this is going to any wise-man production project
Exactly, that's the idea - having a backend part of the library that proxies the communication with OpenAI, keeping the API key secret.
Yes. Something like Remix or Next be a light lift to incorporate those mechanics.
