Most Basic Chatbot

This is the most basic chatbot I could think of doing in node.js/typescript. With crawling some sites, chunking, and answering in the console.

More of a demo what basic steps are needed to create such a thing and certainly not something I'd trust in.

See the comments in the sources in src for explanations what it actually does.

Installation

yarn # or npm install
cp .env.example .env

and add your OpenAI API key to the .env file.

Then start a pgvector database with docker-compose:

docker-compose up -d

Crawling the sites (defined in src/crawl.ts) can be done with:

yarn crawl

And then you can ask the chatbot questions about St. Gallen with:

yarn ask "Wann wurde St. Gallen gegründet?"
