BillyBot - Your AI Assistant

Tired of confusing official documentation searches? Our AI assistant, Billy, helps you find the answers you need instantly. Our solution curates your official documentation or any website into a searchable collection. You just need to spend some time for changing your website into a collection. Ask natural language questions and get the information you need directly - no more endless link clicking.

Installation

Conda Installation (Recommended)

1. Setup up credentials

1. Install GCloud CLI and check this link for setting up Vertext AI. (You need to have Google Cloud account and setup a project to use Vertex AI. If you don't, you can go to next step.)
2. Get API Key for Google AI Studio. Google AI Studio is more straightforward and easy to use than Vertex AI above.
3. Get the API Key token from Apify for scraping websites. Create an account and get the API key from here
4. Create a .env file and add the credentials and API to it. Check the .env.example for example. Below is the example content inside the .env file.

# Gemini
GOOGLE_AI_STUDIO_API_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# vertex ai
PROJECT_ID=xxx-xxxx-xxx
LOCATION=us-central1
# Apify
APIFY_API_TOKEN=apify_api_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2. Create Conda environment.

conda create --name billy-bot python=3.10

3. Install required packages.

pip install -r requirements.txt --no-cache-dir

You can download our sample collection, chroma_storage.tar.gz
