It uses [LangChain](https://docs.langchain.com/docs/) for managing LLM chains, [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) to create a production ready API, [Gradio](https://gradio.app/) to create a UI. At the moment it uses [OpenAI](https://openai.com/) to generate answers, but we plan to support other LLMs in the future. ## Getting started Note: This is a work in progress. The API might change. ```bash pip install megabots ``` ```python from megabots import bot import os os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "my key" # Create a bot 👉 with one line of code. Automatically loads your data from ./index or index.pkl. # Keep in mind that you need to have one or another. qnabot = bot("qna-over-docs") # Ask a question answer = bot.ask("How do I use this bot?") # Save the index to save costs (GPT is used to create the index) bot.save_index("index.pkl") # Load the index from a previous run qnabot = bot("qna-over-docs", index="./index.pkl") # Or create the index from a directory of documents qnabot = bot("qna-over-docs", index="./index") # Change the model qnabot = bot("qna-over-docs", model="text-davinci-003") ``` ## Changing the bot's prompt You can change the bots promnpt to customize it to your needs. In the `qna-over-docs` type of bot you will need to pass 2 variables for the `context` (knwoledge searched from the index) and the `question` (the human question). ```python from megabots import bot prompt = """ Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. If you don't know the answer, just say that you don't know, don't try to make up an answer. Answer in the style of Tony Stark. {context} Question: {question} Helpful humorous answer:""" qnabot = bot("qna-over-docs", index="./index.pkl", prompt=prompt) qnabot.ask("what was the first roster of the avengers?") ``` ## Working with memory You can easily add memory to your `bot` using the `memory` parameter. It accepts a string with the type of the memory to be used. This defaults to some sane dafaults. Should you need more configuration, you can use the `memory` function and pass the type of memory and the configuration you need. ```python from megabots import bot qnabot = bot("qna-over-docs", index="./index.pkl", memory="conversation-buffer") print(qnabot.ask("who is iron man?")) print(qnabot.ask("was he in the first roster?")) # Bot should understand who "he" refers to. ``` Or using the `memory`factory function ```python from megabots import bot, memory mem("conversation-buffer-window", k=5) qnabot = bot("qna-over-docs", index="./index.pkl", memory=mem) print(qnabot.ask("who is iron man?")) print(qnabot.ask("was he in the first roster?")) ``` NOTE: For the `qna-over-docs` bot, when using memory and passing your custom prompt, it is important to remember to pass one more variable to your custom prompt to facilitate for chat history. The variable name is `history`. ```python from megabots import bot prompt = """ Use the following pieces of context to answer the question at the end. If you don't know the answer, just say that you don't know, don't try to make up an answer. {context} {history} Human: {question} AI:""" qnabot = bot("qna-over-docs", prompt=prompt, index="./index.pkl", memory="conversation-buffer") print(qnabot.ask("who is iron man?")) print(qnabot.ask("was he in the first roster?")) ``` ## Using Megabots with Milvus (more DBs comming soon) Megabots `bot` can also use Milvus as a backend for its search engine. You can find an example of how to do it below. In order to run Milvus you need to follow [this guide](https://milvus.io/docs/example_code.md) to download a docker compose file and run it. The command is: ```bash wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/milvus-io/pymilvus/v2.2.7/examples/hello_milvus.py ``` You can then [install Attu](https://milvus.io/docs/attu_install-docker.md) as a management tool for Milvus ```python from megabots import bot # Attach a vectorstore by passing the name of the database. Default port for milvus is 19530 and default host is localhost # Point it to your files directory so that it can index the files and add them to the vectorstore bot = bot("qna-over-docs", index="./examples/files/", vectorstore="milvus") bot.ask("what was the first roster of the avengers?") ``` Or use the `vectorstore` factory function for more customisation ```python from megabots import bot, vectorstore milvus = vectorstore("milvus", host="localhost", port=19530) bot = bot("qna-over-docs", index="./examples/files/", vectorstore=milvus) ``` ## Exposing an API with FastAPI You can also create a FastAPI app that will expose the bot as an API using the create_app function. Assuming you file is called `main.py` run `uvicorn main:app --reload` to run the API locally. You should then be able to visit `http://localhost:8000/docs` to see the API documentation. ```python from megabots import bot, create_api app = create_app(bot("qna-over-docs")) ``` ## Exposing a Gradio chat-like interface You can expose a gradio UI for the bot using `create_interface` function. Assuming your file is called `ui.py` run `gradio qnabot/ui.py` to run the UI locally. You should then be able to visit `http://127.0.0.1:7860` to see the API documentation. ```python from megabots import bot, create_interface demo = create_interface(bot("qna-over-docs")) ``` ## Customising bot The `bot` function should serve as the starting point for creating and customising your bot. Below is a list of the available arguments in `bot`. | Argument | Description | | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | task | The type of bot to create. Available options: `qna-over-docs`. More comming soon | | index | Specifies the index to use for the bot. It can either be a saved index file (e.g., `index.pkl`) or a directory of documents (e.g., `./index`). In the case of the directory the index will be automatically created. If no index is specified `bot` will look for `index.pkl` or `./index` | | model | The name of the model to use for the bot. You can specify a different model by providing its name, like "text-davinci-003". Supported models: `gpt-3.5-turbo` (default),`text-davinci-003` More comming soon. | | prompt | A string template for the prompt, which defines the format of the question and context passed to the model. The template should include placeholder variables like so: `context`, `{question}` and in the case of using memory `history`. | | memory | The type of memory to be used by the bot. Can be a string with the type of the memory or you can use `memory` factory function. Supported memories: `conversation-buffer`, `conversation-buffer-window` | | vectorstore | The vectorstore to be used for the index. Can be a string with the name of the databse or you can use `vectorstore` factory function. Supported DBs: `milvus`. | | sources | When `sources` is `True` the bot will also include sources in the response. A known [issue](https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain/issues/2858) exists, where if you pass a custom prompt with sources the code breaks. | ## How QnA bot works Large language models (LLMs) are powerful, but they can't answer questions about documents they haven't seen. If you want to use an LLM to answer questions about documents it was not trained on, you have to give it information about those documents. To solve this, we use "retrieval augmented generation." In simple terms, when you have a question, you first search for relevant documents. Then, you give the documents and the question to the language model to generate an answer. To make this work, you need your documents in a searchable format (an index). This process involves two main steps: (1) preparing your documents for easy querying, and (2) using the retrieval augmented generation method. `qna-over-docs` uses FAISS to create an index of documents and GPT to generate answers. ```mermaid sequenceDiagram actor User participant API participant LLM participant Vectorstore participant IngestionEngine participant DataLake autonumber Note over API, DataLake: Ingestion phase loop Every X time IngestionEngine ->> DataLake: Load documents DataLake -->> IngestionEngine: Return data IngestionEngine -->> IngestionEngine: Split documents and Create embeddings IngestionEngine ->> Vectorstore: Store documents and embeddings end Note over API, DataLake: Generation phase User ->> API: Receive user question API ->> Vectorstore: Lookup documents in the index relevant to the question API ->> API: Construct a prompt from the question and any relevant documents API ->> LLM: Pass the prompt to the model LLM -->> API: Get response from model API -->> User: Return response ``` ## How to contribute?
