## FastLane E-commerce Chatbot
This project provides a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system that involves Elastisearch, OpenAI, FastAPI and Gradio components. The system is about an e-commerce chatbot for product and orders searches and leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) for understanding user intent.
**Modular Structure for Maintainability:**
The system was designed with a focus on maintainability and scalability. Here's a breakdown of the core components:
* **main.py:** The entry point for the application, where the FastAPI app is defined and run.
* **models/ (Directory):** Contains Pydantic models for data validation and defining data structures used throughout the application.
- `query.py`: Defines models for user queries.
- `product.py`: Defines models for representing product data.
- `customer.py`: Defines models for representing customer data.
- `order.py`: Defines models for representing order data.
* **services/ (Directory):** Encapsulates the core business logic of the application.
- `elasticsearch.py`: Handles interactions with the Elasticsearch instance for product searches.
- `nlp.py`: Provides functionalities for Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand user intent.
- `utils.py`: Provides functions that are used by several components of the system.
* **routes/ (Directory):** Defines API endpoints for interacting with the chatbot functionalities. Each feature has its dedicated module:
- `search_products.py`: Handles routes related to product search functionalities.
- `query_handler`: Handles routes related to the processing of the query introduced by users.
- `purchase.py`: Handles routes related to purchase functionalities (add to cart, checkout, etc.).
- `order_management.py`: Handles routes related to managing orders (tracking, history).
- `account_management.py`: Handles routes related to account management (sign-in, update information).
- `customer_support.py`: Handles routes related to customer support functionalities (returns, payments, etc.).
This modular structure promotes separation of concerns, making the code easier to understand, maintain, and extend in the future.
**Getting Started:**
(Provide instructions on how to set up and run the application, including any dependencies or environment variables required.)
**Further Development:**
* Generating more comprehensive responses based on intent, entities, and search results.
* Enhance security features for handling sensitive user data.
* Implement user authentication and authorization mechanisms.
