chatbot-restaurant

Chatbot for a restaurant using Confluent, AWS BedRock, OpenAI, GroqCloud and Qdrant.

As GroqCloud is free to use the current LLM model used (mixtral-8x7b-32768) has the following limitations:

• Requests per minute: 30
• Requests per day: 14,400
• Tokens per minute: 18,000

If you prefer, you can opt to use OpenAI or AWS Bedrock but bear in mind they are paid services. To select the model, set .env accordingly (details below).

Qdrant, although has the SaaS Cloud option this demo uses the local/docker version (https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant-client).

Demo Diagram

In summary, the steps are:

• 01: Postgres tables are CDC to the Postgres CDC Source (Debezium) connector
• 02: The connector will publish the changes to the corresponding Kafka topics (in this case setup to be the same as the schema/table name)
• 03: Here there are few things going on in parallel:
  • Chatbot web application will consume the user profile table and have it in memory (event source pattern)
  • Chatbot backend will consume the user profile, AI rules, restaurant policies and information tables and have it in memory (event source pattern)
  • ksqlDB will consume the restaurant extra table (db.public.extras) and have it ingested as a stream
• 04: ksqlDB will submit a POST request to the REST API to get the vector data based on the postgres data
• 05: the restaurant extras topic will be transformed to the format as expected by the vector DB as well as have the embeddings appended to it (db.public.extras.vdb)
• 06: The Qdrant sink connector will consume the data from the transformed restaurant extras topic (db.public.extras.vdb)
• 07: The Qdrant sink connector will upsert the corresponding collection on the Qdrant vector DB
• A: Customer logs in and submit a query/question
• B: The chatbot web application publishes the request to the Kafka topic chatbot-customer_actions (CQRS pattern)
• C: ksqlDB will ingest the message on the topic chatbot-customer_actions
• D: ksqlDB will submit a POST request to the REST API to get the vector data based on the customer query/question
• E: ksqlDB will add the vector data and publish a message to the topic chatbot-customer_actions_embeddings
• F: The chatbot backend will consume the query/question (event) from the topic chatbot-customer_actions_embeddings. If it is the initial message it will enrich the query/question with informations about the AI application, restaurant and customer
• G: The chatbot backend will query the VectorDB for any semantically similar document
• H: In case any document is founf it will append to the query/question for additional context, and submit the prompt to the LLM
• I: The response from the LLM is published to the Kafka topic chatbot-chatbot_responses
• J: The chatbot webapplication consumes the response just published to the Kafka topic chatbot-chatbot_responses (matching it wil the session of the customer who asked it)
• K: Response is sent back to the customer

Requirements

• curl
• Docker Desktop
• Python 3.8+

The Demo

This demo runs all on Docker and it was only tested on a MAC M1. In case needed change the platform option to your needs (see variable PLATFORM on the file .env). For example, if you have a macOS you need to set the environmental variable PLATFORM to linux/amd64.

To be able to interact with AWS BedRock, OpenAI or Groq LLM model, you will need the following API key:

• GroqCloud free LLM engine
• AWS BedRock paid LLM engine
• OpenAI paid LLM engine

Important If using AWS BedRock make sure to:

• Enable access to the LLM model of your preference (e.g. Titan Text G1 - Premier (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-access.html)) for the AWS Region of your choice
• Set the right permission to AmazonBedRock when creating the Security Credentials for your IAM user

Having the API keys at hand, create a file named .env file by executing the command:

Demo in details

Context required

Data will be automatically loaded into a Postgres DB by the python script src/db_provisioning.py (localhost:5432, see docker-composer.yml for details). All tables created and data preloaded are shown on the folder src\sql, below a summary:

• src/sql/001_customer_profile.sql: All customer profiles (password will be hash salted, but since this is a demo, the password is the same as the username)
• src/sql/002_policies.sql: Restaurant policies (loaded into the initial LLM prompt)
• src/sql/003_restaurant.sql: Restaurant information (loaded into the initial LLM prompt)
• src/sql/004_ai_rules.sql: Chatbot rules (loaded into the initial LLM prompt)
• src/sql/005_extras.sql: Additional restaurant policies (loaded into the VectorDB and only injected to the prompt when needed)
• src/sql/006_main_menu.sql: Restaurant's main menu (loaded into the initial LLM prompt)
• src/sql/007_kids_menu.sql: Restaurant's kids menu (loaded into the initial LLM prompt)

A Postgres CDC source connector will make sure to capture any change (insert, update, delete) and have them published to Confluent Platform.

Chatbot back-end microservices

REST API (src/embeddings.py) using Hugging Face's sentence transformer to generate the vector data (embeddings: all-MiniLM-L6-v2). It is a basic HTTP service where a sentence/string is passed on the body of a POST request and the vector data is returned, for example:

The Postgres table db.public.extras contains the data to be upserted to the Vector DB, however the format output by the CDC connector needs to be converted to the format the Vector DB is expecting. Also, it is required to generate the vector data (embeddings) as that is mandatory for any vector database. What the demo uses is a ksqlDB streaming application:

• src/ksqldb/001_db_public_extras.sql: SQL statement to ingest the topic db.public.extras as a ksqlDB stream
• src/ksqldb/002_db_public_extras_vdb.sql: Map the fields accordingly as well as call the embeddings REST API to have the vector data generated. The transformed data will be output to the topic db.public.extras.vdb (schemaless JSON)

A Qdrant Sink connector is setup to upsert the documents to the vector database using its gRPC interface (http://localhost:6334).

  • Load in memory the Customer Profiles, AI Rules, Restaurant Policies, Restaurant Information, Main Menu and Kids Menu (as consumed from the corresponding topics)
• Thread #2:
  • Consume the customer messages from topic chatbot-customer_actions and post it to the LLM engine (as set on the environment variable LLM_ENGINE). It uses LangChain to be able to seemlesly interact with AWS BedRock, OpenAI or GroqCloud. All messages are buffered in memory per user session and cleared after logout. This can be optmised in order to reduce the number of tokens passed everything to the LLM engine
  • The initial LLM prompt will contain the name of the waiter/AI assistant, name/age of the customer as well as all AI Rules, Restaurant Policies, Restaurant Information, Main Menu and Kids Menu, for example:

We have a new customer. Their name is James Young, is 11 years old and is allergic to nothing
Hi!

• For every customer message it will also run a semantic search on the vector DB and if found any relevant document (limited by the environment variable VECTOR_DB_SEARCH_LIMIT as long as the score is > VECTOR_DB_MIN_SCORE) and inject into the LLM prompt as a system message. That is to limit the amount of tokens passed to the LLM engine, for example:
  • Customer query: do you have a pool table? what is the wifi password?
  • The two documents returned by the vector DB are:
    • dart-and-pool-table: Dart boards and pool tables available for guests. Challenge your friends or join a game. All are welcome!
    • wifi: Complimentary high-speed and free WiFi for all our guests
  • The LLM engine can then provide a contextual relevant response as it now knows the dart/pool and wifi details:

Hello again,
Yes, we do have dart boards and pool tables available for our guests. Feel free to challenge your friends or join a game. We hope you'll enjoy this additional entertainment during your visit.
Regarding the WiFi, our high-speed internet is complimentary and free for all our guests. The WiFi network name is "StreamBite\_Guest" and the password is "StreamBiteFun123". We hope you enjoy staying connected during your time with us.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
Best regards,
Steven Mayo

• Once it receives the response from the LLM engine it will have it published into the topic chatbot-chatbot_responses

Web Application

The last python script is the web application (src/webapp.py):

• It communicates with the back-end chatbot microservices using the CQRS pattern
• After successfuly login, the customer messages will be published to the topic chatbot-customer_actions so it can be processed by the back-end microservices
• It will also consume the messages from the topic chatbot-chatbot_responses matching the sessionID with the messageID (mid), then presenting it to the corresponding customer

All three python scripts have two logging handles, one to the console and another one to the Kafka topic chatbot-logs. The Web Application will consume all messages in that topic so it can be rendered when accessing http://localhost:8888/logs.

Changing the Policies Vector DB on the fly

To make any change on any on the tables, you can do so using your RDBMS of choice and make the changes. The demo is loaded with PgAdmin (http://localhst:5050. Username = [email protected] | Password = admin).

A Postgres CDC source connector will make sure to capture any change (insert, update, delete) and have them published to Confluent Platform.

To see the changes in action, login to the Chatbot with a different user, or log out and log back in.

You can also have the log web interface open (http://localhost:8888/logs) and be able to see the changes as they happen, for example, after making a change on the table public.extras on id = payment:

[webapp] 2024-08-31 11:31:24,971.971 [INFO]
Loaded extras for payment: Accepts most major cards and mobile payments, cash or checks
[chatbot] 2024-08-31 11:31:25,011.011 [INFO]
Upserting Vector DB collection chatbot_restaurant: 329960943232017054634736035080607567292 | payment: Accepts most major cards and mobile payments, cash or checks

ksqlDB UDF

This demo also creates a ksqlDB UDF (User Defined Function) called GET_VECTOR_DATA (for details see: src/udf/src/main/java/com/github/ifnesi/chatbot_restaurant/ksqldb/GetVectorData.java). The purpose of the UDF is to call the REST API service src/embeddings.py. For now that UDF is not integrated with the application, but to see it in action:

• Go to Confluent Control Center's ksqlDB editor
• Create a stream with the customer's queries (topic chatbot-customer_actions):

CREATE STREAM `chatbot-customer_actions`WITH (
   KAFKA_TOPIC='chatbot-customer_actions',
   VALUE_FORMAT='AVRO'
);

• Call the UDF on the back of the customer's queries where the endpoint is the local embedding's REST API (http://chatbot:9999/api/v1/embedding/sentence-transformer):

SELECT `QUERY`, TRANSFORM(JSON_ITEMS(GET_VECTOR_DATA('http://chatbot:9999/api/v1/embedding/sentence-transformer', `QUERY`)), x => CAST(x AS DOUBLE)) as DATA FROM `chatbot-customer_actions` EMIT CHANGES;

• One example of response to the SELECT above is shown below:

{
  "QUERY": "can I bring my dog here?",
  "DATA": {

System logs

They can be accessed through http://localhost:8888/logs. All applications are producing logs to Confluent Platform and the web application is consuming them, adding to a local queue and off-loading the queue once the logs page is opened (logs are refreshed at every 500ms)
