Capstone Project: Functions

Capstone Project: Functions

Learn how to set up the main functions, define the session states, and set up the function that will load and process the user manual.

We'll cover the following...

We continue this capstone project by setting up the main functions of our chatbots, defining the session states that will persist in memory throughout the user interaction session, and finally, setting up the function that will load and process the user manual and display the Toyota images.

Step 5: Setting up chatbot.py file

We’ll now walk through the step-by-step configuration of the chatbot.py file:

import streamlit as st
from src.load_file import load_file
from src.rewrite_query import rewrite_user_query
from src.retriever import build_vector_store, retrieve_chunks_from_vector_store, retrieve_history
from src.generator import generate_answer
# Load the user manual file
user_manual_content = load_file()
# If load is successful
if user_manual_content:
    try:
        ###################################### Display the title ######################################
        st.title(":rainbow[TOYOTA HIGHLANDER INTERACTIVE BOT]")
        st.write('')
        ####################### Set a clear conversation button on the side menu ######################

                    st.write(re_written_query)
            with col_right:
                with st.expander(label='Retrieved relevant text from the car user manual', expanded=False):

        st.error("Sorry, an error occurred.")

  • Line 1: We import Streamlit for building the user interface.

  • Line 2: We import a function to load the Toyota User Manual.

  • Line 3: We import a function to rewrite user queries.

  • Line 4: We import functions for building the vector store, retrieving the relevant chunks, and fetching the chat history. ...
