BedrockChat

BedrockChat acts as a conversational interface, leveraging generative AI models fine-tuned on your content. This feature provides users with accurate, timely information and expert insights, transforming static content consumption into a dynamic, interactive experience. BedrockChat is powered by AWS Bedrock, AWS Kendra, LangChain and Streamlit for UI.

Potential benefits of BedrockChat include an increase in user numbers and subscriptions for your website, which could lead to an increase in revenue. Furthermore, it could help solidify your position as a trusted information source within the industry.

This AI-driven application offers:

State-of-the-art Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) mechanism designed to mitigate hallucinations and model drifting.
The ability to reference sources, allowing users to click and access the full content of your website, reinforcing their engagement.
A modular architecture, allowing for flexibility in swapping the LLM or knowledge base with newer technologies as they become available.
Ensured data security as you host and deploy your retrieval system and LLM in your account, eliminating the need to send data to a third party.

Installation

To set up the application, follow the steps below:

Prerequisites You need to have AWS account with access to AWS Bedrock and AWS Kendra. Create an index in AWS Kendra and using one of the provided connectors (for example, Web crawler), ingest documents into the AWS Kendra index.(Please note that AWS Kendra and AWS Bedrock are NOT part of AWS free tier and you will be charged)

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/iut62elec/BedrockChat.git

Navigate into the project directory:
```
cd BedrockChat
```

Create and activate a virtual environment:

python3.8 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Upgrade pip and install the required dependencies:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install boto3==1.26.163
pip install watchdog
pip install streamlit
pip install langchain
pip install streamlit-cognito-auth
python -m pip install ./whl_files/botocore-1.29.162-py3-none-any.whl
python -m pip install ./whl_files/boto3-1.26.162-py3-none-any.whl
python -m pip install ./whl_files/awscli-1.27.162-py3-none-any.whl

Deactivate and reactivate the virtual environment with AWS credentials (Remember to replace "AWS_PROFILE_WITH_Bedrock_KENDRA_access" and "XXXXX" with your actual AWS profile and Kendra index ID):
```
deactivate
export AWS_PROFILE=AWS_PROFILE_WITH_Bedrock_KENDRA_access
export AWS_REGION="us-east-1" 
export KENDRA_INDEX_ID_BR="XXXXX"
source .venv/bin/activate
```
Navigate into the source code and run the application:
```
cd ./src
streamlit run app_BedrockChat.py bedrock
```

This will open a local server at http://localhost:8501/, where you can start interacting with the AI!
