You might want to look at https://github.com/danswer-ai/danswer as well, as it sounds like their UI might be of suited for your use case.

There are already several RAG chat open source solutions available. Two that immediately come to mind are:

Danswer

We have a connector interface and build guide for contributors: https://github.com/danswer-ai/danswer/blob/main/backend/dans...

Should be not too bad to build one out! Fun fact, more than half the connectors were built entirely by community members who needed them for their own teams and we're super grateful when they contribute it back to the repo.

Danswer is an MIT licensed project that can connect to a wide range of SaaS tools and provide a search/chat (RAG) functionality to help your team discover information and to turn that information into deeper understanding and actionable insights.

Slack questions have always been a huge time sink for me. They’re a distraction that pulls me away from what I’m doing, and often requires digging up old knowledge. If I’m in the middle of something complex, I may take a while to context switch and get around to answering, which leaves the asker blocked for hours.

Addressing this seems simple: give an LLM your organizational context and plop it in Slack to answer things for you.

So that’s why we built DanswerBot! It’s MIT licensed (https://github.com/danswer-ai/danswer) and completely free to use. The bot can automatically sync with and back answers based on documents from Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, Confluence, Jira, Notion, local files, websites, and much more.

A quick note on hallucinations: in order to reduce their prevalence, all answers are backed by quotes. If the LLM-provided quotes don’t match any document or no quotes are given, we’ll warn the asker that something may have gone wrong. Additionally, all used documents are linked in case the asker wants to double check the answer. Answers can be thumbs-upped or thumbs-downed and all questions / answers are recorded in Postgres for easy future inspection / analysis.

For usability, we provide an admin dashboard where you can configure connectors (we have 14 currently). Once a connector is set up, we poll data sources every 10 minutes to keep answers up to date. Which LLM to use is also up to you - DanswerBot can be configured to use a locally hosted model, Azure OpenAI, or OpenAI directly.

Finally, if you aren’t a slack user (or if you just prefer a more tailored UI), there’s also a web interface to ask questions against your knowledge base. A short demo for that can be found at: https://youtu.be/cWWtnuVCUX0

Of course there’s a bunch more that I can’t cover in one post - happy to take questions in the comments (or in our Slack / Discord, which are linked on the Github repo).

If you’re interested in testing this out yourself, you can easily run everything locally with a single command. Docs to help you can be found at https://docs.danswer.dev/quickstart!

I'm currently building a project using Astro, to which I've added basic authentication via Twitch so users can log in to view their inventory for my new stream game by calling an API on the back end (my Twitch bot). I'm using Astro in SSR mode, and authentication is provided by Auth.js via auth-astro. When using Auth.js to authenticate, it saves three cookies in the browser to remember that you've logged in to this website via Twitch.

I rebuilt my personal website[1] (static site) using Astro[2], and it was a pleasant experience.

or Astro; if you’d like to integrate React, VueJS etc. code as well. use their themes page here to get a starting point.

I have spent today learning the new Astro SSG. You can read about it at https://astro.build/ or better yet you can get started with it at https://docs.astro.build/en/install/auto/. While Visual Studio isn't exactly a SSG, they way you code with it can make static web pages. VS has so much more power than that.

We'll use several interesting technologies to achieve this: Strapi CMS to take care of the content management and backend, Astro which is a great new technology for quickly creating blazing fast frontend apps, and ChatGPT to provide the article summaries.

Case study 4: Astro

Astro is the new hot new web framework on the block. All the cool kids are using it. I've recently given up, drank the Kool-Aid, and gone all in on it.

Built with Supabase, Astro, Unreal Speech, Stable Diffusion, Replicate, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Astro to use every framework at once instead of just react? https://astro.build/
