LangChain Implementation Guide for Advanced Chatbot

🎯 Technology Stack Overview

Core Technologies:

• LangChain - Conversation memory and chain management
• FAISS - Vector storage and similarity search
• OpenAI Embeddings - Text vectorization
• SQLAlchemy - Persistent conversation storage
• Redis (optional) - Caching conversation context

Architecture Flow:

User Message → LangChain Memory → RAG Retrieval → Context Assembly → LLM Response

🚀 Implementation Status

✅ Completed Components:

1. LangChain Conversation Service (services/langchain_conversation_service.py)

   • Module content loading from GPT FINAL FLOW folders
   • Vector store creation with FAISS
   • Conversation chain with memory
   • RAG retrieval from module content
   • Database integration for persistent storage

2. Enhanced Chatbot Service (services/chatbot_service.py)

   • LangChain integration
   • Fallback to original conversation service
   • Module-specific content loading

3. Database Models (models.py)

   • ConversationMemory - Stores conversation context
   • CrossModuleMemory - Shares context across modules
   • ConversationMessage - Individual message storage

4. Dependencies (requirements.txt)

   • LangChain packages added
   • FAISS for vector storage
   • ChromaDB for alternative vector store

📋 Installation Steps

1. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set Environment Variables

# Required
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key"
export SUPABASE_DB_URL="your_supabase_connection_string"

# Optional
export ENVIRONMENT="production"
export DEBUG="false"

3. Test the Integration

python test_langchain_integration.py

🔧 Configuration

Module Mapping

The system maps module IDs to folder names:

module_mapping = {
    "offer_clarifier": "1_The Offer Clarifier GPT",
    "avatar_creator": "2_Avatar Creator and Empathy Map GPT", 
    "before_state": "3_Before State Research GPT",
    "after_state": "4_After State Research GPT",
    "avatar_validator": "5_Avatar Validator GPT",
    "trigger_gpt": "6_TriggerGPT",
    "epo_builder": "7_EPO Builder GPT - Copy",
    "scamper_synthesizer": "8_SCAMPER Synthesizer",
    "wildcard_idea": "9_Wildcard Idea Bot",
    "concept_crafter": "10_Concept Crafter GPT",
    "hook_headline": "11_Hook & Headline GPT",
    "campaign_concept": "12_Campaign Concept Generator GPT",
    "ideation_injection": "13_Ideation Injection Bot"
}

Content Loading

For each module, the system loads:

• System Prompts (System Prompt/*.txt)
• RAG Content (RAG/*.txt)
• Output Templates (Output template/*.txt)

🧠 How It Works

1. Content Processing

# Load module content
documents = await service.load_module_content("offer_clarifier")

# Create vector store
vector_store = FAISS.from_documents(texts, embeddings)

# Create conversation chain
chain = ConversationalRetrievalChain.from_llm(
    llm=llm,
    retriever=vector_store.as_retriever(),
    memory=memory
)

2. Message Processing

# Process user message
result = await chain.ainvoke({
    "question": user_message,
    "chat_history": []
})

# Extract response and sources
response = result.get("answer")
source_documents = result.get("source_documents")

3. Memory Management

• Conversation History - Stored in database
• Context Summary - AI-generated summaries
• User Profile - Extracted user information
• Cross-Module Memory - Shared across modules

📊 Features

✅ Conversation Memory

• Remembers previous conversations
• Maintains context across sessions
• Stores conversation history in database

✅ RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)

• Loads content from GPT module folders
• Creates vector embeddings for similarity search
• Retrieves relevant content for responses

✅ Context Awareness

• Understands conversation flow
• Maintains user preferences
• Shares context across modules

✅ Natural Language Processing

• Detects user intent
• Generates contextual responses
• Handles conversation transitions

🔄 Integration with Existing System

Backward Compatibility

The implementation maintains backward compatibility:

1. Primary: LangChain conversation service
2. Fallback: Original conversation service
3. Legacy: Traditional Q&A mode

Database Integration

• Uses existing database models
• Maintains conversation history
• Supports cross-module memory

🧪 Testing

Run Integration Tests

python test_langchain_integration.py

Test Individual Components

# Test content loading
documents = await service.load_module_content("offer_clarifier")

# Test vector store
vector_store = await service.create_vector_store("offer_clarifier")

# Test conversation chain
chain = await service.create_conversation_chain("offer_clarifier", "test_id")

🚀 Deployment

Production Setup

1. Install Dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. Set Environment Variables

   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_key"
   export SUPABASE_DB_URL="your_connection_string"

   python main.py
   

Hugging Face Deployment

1. Set Secrets in Hugging Face Space
2. Deploy the application

📈 Performance Optimization

Caching Strategy

• Vector Stores - Cached per module
• Conversation Chains - Cached per session
• Embeddings - Reused across requests

Memory Management

• Window Memory - Last 10 exchanges
• Summary Memory - AI-generated summaries
• Token Management - Track token usage

🔧 Customization

Adding New Modules

1. Create folder in GPT FINAL FLOW/
2. Add content files (System Prompt, RAG, Output template)
3. Update mapping in LangChainConversationService

Customizing Memory

# Custom memory configuration
memory = ConversationBufferWindowMemory(
    memory_key="chat_history",
    return_messages=True,
    k=15  # Increase window size
)

Customizing RAG

# Custom retriever configuration
retriever = vector_store.as_retriever(
    search_type="similarity",
    search_kwargs={"k": 5}  # Increase results
)

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. OpenAI API Key Not Set

   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_key"
   

2. Module Content Not Found

   • Check folder structure in GPT FINAL FLOW/
   • Verify file naming conventions

3. Vector Store Creation Fails

   • Check OpenAI API key
   • Verify content files exist
   • Check file encoding (UTF-8)

4. Database Connection Issues

   • Verify Supabase connection string
   • Check database permissions
   • Run database setup script

Debug Mode

# Enable verbose logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Enable LangChain verbose mode
chain = ConversationalRetrievalChain.from_llm(
    llm=llm,
    retriever=retriever,
    memory=memory,
    verbose=True  # Enable verbose mode
)
