AI Support Chatbot Service

LLM-powered AI support chatbot with FastAPI, RAG, and vector database. Production-ready implementation with Docker, tests, and CI/CD pipeline.

Features

• LLM Integration: Support for OpenAI API, HuggingFace, or local LLMs
• RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation): Vector database (FAISS/Chroma) for semantic search
• FastAPI Server: RESTful API for chat interactions
• Docker & Docker Compose: Easy deployment and scaling
• Unit & Integration Tests: Comprehensive test coverage with pytest
• GitHub Actions CI/CD: Automated testing and deployment pipeline
• Logging & Monitoring: Structured logging and error handling

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• Docker & Docker Compose (for containerized setup)
• OpenAI API key (or local LLM setup)

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Cyb3rFake/ai-support-chatbot.git
cd ai-support-chatbot

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

# Copy example environment file
cp config/.env.example .env

# Edit .env with your OpenAI API key
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here" >> .env

Run Locally

# Start the FastAPI server
uvicorn src.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Run with Docker

# Build and start containers
docker-compose up --build

# The API will be available at http://localhost:8000

Usage

Chat API Endpoint

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/chat" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "How do I reset my password?"}'

Response Example

{
  "session_id": "uuid-1234",
  "message": "How do I reset my password?",
  "response": "You can reset your password by...",
  "confidence": 0.92,
  "source_documents": ["faq_001.txt", "help_page_05.txt"]
}

Testing

# Run all tests
pytest

# Run with coverage
pytest --cov=src --cov-report=html

# Run specific test file
pytest tests/test_llm_service.py -v

CI/CD Pipeline

GitHub Actions automatically:

1. Runs tests on every push
2. Checks code quality (flake8, black)
3. Builds Docker image
4. Publishes test results

LLM Integrations

OpenAI API

from src.llm_service import OpenAILLM
llm = OpenAILLM(api_key="sk-...")
response = llm.generate("What is AI?", temperature=0.7)

Local LLM (Ollama)

from src.llm_service import LocalLLM
llm = LocalLLM(model="llama2", base_url="http://localhost:11434")
response = llm.generate("What is AI?")

HuggingFace

from src.llm_service import HuggingFaceLLM
llm = HuggingFaceLLM(model_name="gpt2")
response = llm.generate("What is AI?")

Vector Database

Adding Documents

from src.vectordb import VectorDB
db = VectorDB()
ddb.add_documents(["FAQ.pdf", "help_guide.md"])
db.save("./data/vectorstore")

Semantic Search

results = db.search("password reset", top_k=3)
for doc, score in results:
    print(f"{doc}: {score}")
