HowdoI.ai is a helpful chatbot that can answer questions
This is an experiment in building a large-language-model-backed chatbot. It can hold a conversation, remember previous comments/questions, and answer all types of queries (history, web search, movie data, weather, news, and more).
This app relies on the amazing LangChain Python library, which powers all the interesting AI stuff.
Running locally
First, add your API keys in the .env file.
Install the NPM requirements:
cd vite
npm install (or yarn install)
Then, install the Python requirements and start the app. You'll want a Procfile manager like Foreman or Hivemind installed.
pip install -r requirements.txt
foreman start -f Procfile.local
(Note: foreman isn't required. You can run the commands in the Procfile.local in separate terminal windows if you prefer)
Once it's running, open up http://127.0.0.1:9000/ and you'll be able to start interacting with the bot. There's also a writing assistant endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:9000/write.
