The AI Bot – Custom GPT project, built by the UBOS team, leverages Node-RED for workflow orchestration, MongoDB for scalable data storage, and an intuitive UI based on Appsmith. This project empowers users to create, customize, and deploy advanced chatbots with ease.

• AppSmith
• Node-RED
• MongoDB
• ChromaDB
• Pinecone

Our project relies on several Node-RED nodes and additional libraries. Below is a list of the key dependencies:

• node-red-contrib-fs: 1.4.1 - File system operations
• node-red-contrib-loop-processing: 0.5.1 - Loop processing
• node-red-contrib-openai-ubos: 1.0.4 - OpenAI integration
• node-red-contrib-telegrambot: 15.1.9 - Telegram bot integration
• node-red-node-mongodb: 0.2.5 - MongoDB integration
• node-red-contrib-pdfparse: 1.0.6 - PDF parsing
• node-red-contrib-pinecone: 1.0.7 - Pinecone integration
• node-red-contrib-chromadb: 1.0.0 - Chroma DB integration

• jsdom: 22.1.0 - JavaScript DOM manipulation
• @martip/node-red-xlsx: 1.0.2 - XLSX file handling
• chromadb: 1.5.11 - Chroma DB client
• openai: 4.14.2 - OpenAI API client
• moment: 2.29.4 - Date and time manipulation
• bcrypt: 5.1.1 - Password hashing

Please ensure these dependencies are installed and properly configured to utilize the full capabilities of the AI Bot.

Key Components

1. Input Data Unification: Consolidates various configuration parameters and user input into a standardized format.
2. Embedding Generation: Utilizes OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002 model to create embeddings for user queries.
3. Vector Database Integration: Supports both Pinecone and Chroma for semantic search functionality.
4. GPT Model Integration: Uses OpenAI's chat completion API to generate responses based on retrieved context and user queries.
5. History Management: Saves conversation history for potential future use or analysis.

Flow Structure

1. Input Processing:

   • Unifies input data (BOT_NAME, DATABASE settings, AI_SETTINGS, etc.)
   • Generates embeddings for user queries

2. Vector Database Query:

   • Determines the appropriate vector database (Pinecone or Chroma)
   • Queries the database with the generated embedding

3. Context Creation:

   • Processes retrieved vectors to create a context for the GPT model

4. GPT Query:

   • Formulates a prompt including the context and user query
   • Sends the prompt to OpenAI's chat completion API

5. Response Handling:

   • Processes the GPT response
   • Saves conversation history
   • Sends the response back to the user

Key Functions

• Input Data Unification: Standardizes input data format
• create vector: Prepares the context for GPT based on vector database results
• send to user from chat: Processes GPT response and prepares it for the user
• save history: Stores conversation details for future reference

Integrations

• OpenAI API: For embedding generation and GPT-based response generation
• Pinecone: Vector database for semantic search
• Chroma: Alternative vector database option
• Telegram Bot API: For sending typing indicators and messages (implied from the code)

Configuration

The flow requires several configuration parameters, including:

• OpenAI API key
• Vector database credentials (Pinecone or Chroma)
• Bot settings (name, prepared messages, AI settings)
• Telegram bot token (for sending messages and typing indicators)

Error Handling

The flow includes basic error handling, particularly for API failures and unexpected responses. It uses prepared error messages when issues occur.

Debugging

Multiple debug nodes are included throughout the flow for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.

Our AI Bot utilizes a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to provide accurate and context-aware responses.

• Implement more robust error handling and logging.
• Multi-Language Support.
• Add Models: GPT-4o, GPT-4o Mini.
• Add support for additional vector databases.
• Enhance the context creation process for more accurate responses.
• Implement rate limiting to prevent API overuse.
• Integrate additional Large Language Models (LLMs).
• Add CRM integration.

Contributions are what make the open source community such an amazing place to learn, inspire, and create. Any contributions you make are greatly appreciated.

If you have a suggestion that would make this better, please fork the repo and create a pull request. You can also simply open an issue with the tag "enhancement". Don't forget to give the project a star! Thanks again!
