1 year ago This project appears to be a chat-based application that allows users to ask questions about a document and receive responses generated by an AI model. The application is built using Next.js, a popular framework for building React applications, and TypeScript, a statically typed superset of JavaScript that adds types to the language.
The project is structured into several directories and files, each serving a specific purpose:
types/chat.ts: Defines the structure of a chat message in the project.next.config.js: Configures various settings and behaviors for the Next.js application.components/ui/LoadingDots.tsx: A reusable loading indicator component.components/layout.tsx: Defines the layout structure for the project.config/pinecone.ts: Configures the namespace and index name for storing embeddings on Pinecone.declarations/pdf-parse.d.ts: Provides type definitions for the "pdf-parse" library.pages/index.tsx: Represents the home page of the project, containing the UI and logic for a chat interface.pages/_app.tsx: Sets up the Next.js application, importing the necessary styles and fonts, and defining the main layout of the application.utils/makechain.ts: Creates and configures a conversational retrieval question-answering chain using the LangChain library.scripts/ingest-data.ts: Automates the process of ingesting and processing PDF data.utils/pinecone-client.ts: Initializes the Pinecone client, which is used to interact with the Pinecone database.pages/api/chat.ts: An API endpoint that handles incoming requests for a chat application.components/ui/accordion.tsx: Provides reusable components for creating accordions in a React application.pages/_document.tsx: Defines the structure of the HTML document that Next.js will render.components/ui/TextArea.tsx: Represents a textarea input element.utils/cn.ts: Provides a utility function for merging and combining CSS class names.utils/customPDFLoader.ts: Provides a custom loader for PDF documents.
The application works by ingesting and processing data from PDF documents, splitting the text into smaller chunks, and creating embeddings for each chunk using OpenAI's embeddings. These embeddings are then stored in a vector store using Pinecone, a vector database.
The chat interface on the home page allows users to ask questions about a document. The application sends the question to an API endpoint, receives a response, and displays the conversation history between the user and the API. The responses are generated by an AI model based on the chat history.
The project also includes several reusable components, such as a loading indicator, an accordion, and a textarea input, which can be used in various parts of the application. The layout of the application is defined in a consistent manner across all pages, making it easier to maintain and update the overall design.
The project uses a custom loader for PDF documents, abstracting away the details of loading and parsing PDFs and providing a simple interface for retrieving the parsed document data.
The project also includes a utility function for merging and combining CSS class names, making it easier to style the components in a consistent manner.
Overall, this project demonstrates a well-structured and modular approach to building a chat-based application with AI capabilities.
