# 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**
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### **2. Set Environment Variables**
```bash
# 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**
```bash
python test_langchain_integration.py
```

## 🔧 **Configuration**

### **Module Mapping**
The system maps module IDs to folder names:
```python
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**
```python
# 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**
```python
# 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**
```bash
python test_langchain_integration.py
```

### **Test Individual Components**
```python
# 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**
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

2. **Set Environment Variables**
   ```bash
   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_key"

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

### **Customizing RAG**
```python
# 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**
   ```bash
   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**
```python
# 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
)
```

## 📚 **Next Steps**
