The app leverages LangChain and LangGraph's streaming support and async API to update the page in real time for multiple users.

Running locally

This project is now deployed using LangGraph Cloud, which means you won't be able to run it locally (or without a LangGraph Cloud account). If you want to run it WITHOUT LangGraph Cloud, please use the code and documentation from this branch.

[!NOTE] This branch does not have the same set of features.

📚 Technical description

There are two components: ingestion and question-answering.

Ingestion has the following steps:

1. Pull html from documentation site as well as the Github Codebase
2. Load html with LangChain's RecursiveURLLoader and SitemapLoader
3. Split documents with LangChain's RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter
4. Create a vectorstore of embeddings, using LangChain's Weaviate vectorstore wrapper (with OpenAI's embeddings).

Question-Answering has the following steps:

1. Given the chat history and new user input, determine what a standalone question would be using an LLM.
2. Given that standalone question, look up relevant documents from the vectorstore.
3. Pass the standalone question and relevant documents to the model to generate and stream the final answer.
4. Generate a trace URL for the current chat session, as well as the endpoint to collect feedback.
