AI Chatbot Starter

It should answer customer questions about the products or services specified.

Open in Gitpod

Getting Started

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Make sure you have Python 3.11 installed

Now follow the steps below to get the chatbot up and running.

Configuring the ChatBot

Documentation (provided as a list of web urls in the config.yml) can be ingested into your Astra DB Collection. Follow these steps:

  1. Obtain your OpenAI API Key from the OpenAI Settings page.

  2. Create a config.yml file with the values required. Here you specify both the list of pages to scrape, as well as the list of rules for your chatbot to observe. For an example of how this can look, take a look at either config.yml.example_datastax, or config.yml.example_pokemon.

  3. Create a .env file & add the required information. Add the OpenAI Key from Step 1 as the value of OPENAI_API_KEY. The Astra and OpenAI env variables are required, while the others are only needed if the respective integrations are enabled. For an example of how this can look, take a look at .env_example.

  4. From the root of the repository, run the following command. This will scrape the pages specified in the config.yml file into text files within the output folder of your ai-chatbot-starter directory.

    PYTHONPATH=. python data/scrape_site.py
  5. From the root of the repository, run the following command. This will store the embeddings for the scraped text in your AstraDB instance.

    PYTHONPATH=. python data/compile_documents.py
