Improvado chatbot

This project implements a chatbot interface to LLM that allows the user to asks questions about Improvado's blog entries by Sergio Marchio

Initial setup - extra files required

To run this project, you must create the file

• secret.key in the root directory of the project (where you can also find manage.py file), containing the django secure key in plain text format (ideally created with more than 50 random characters and more than 5 unique characters).

To run the server locally

The project is configured by default for its local execution, for debugging/testing purposes

From the project's root directory, in the console:

• Create virtual environment python -m venv improvado

• Activate it

  • linux / MacOS:

  • source improvado/bin/activate

  • Windows

  • improvado\Scripts\activate.bat

• install required packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Start the server in the desired port, e.g. 8080

python manage.py runserver 8080 

• Now you can access the chatbot from your browser:

http://localhost:8080/
