πŸ“– Build a document-based AI chatbot with Google Drive, Llama 3, and Qdrant RAG

⚑ 669 views Β· πŸ“– Internal Wiki & Knowledge Base

Description

Overview This template allows users to set up an AI-powered chatbot that retrieves and processes knowledge from Google Drive documents using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). By leveraging Llama 3 for natural language responses and Qdrant vector storage for document embeddings, this chatbot provides accurate, context-aware answers based on stored files.

Problem It Solves Standard AI chatbots often rely on predefined models with limited real-time knowledge access. This workflow overcomes that limitation by:

Automatically fetching new documents from Google Drive.

Embedding knowledge for fast retrieval using Qdrant.

Generating human-like responses with Llama 3 AI.

Providing accurate, source-backed answers in conversations.

Use Cases βœ”οΈ Customer Support – Retrieve and summarize FAQs stored in Google Drive. βœ”οΈ Internal Knowledge Base – Automate document-based query responses. βœ”οΈ AI-powered Research Assistant – Search and generate insights from uploaded files. βœ”οΈ Business Automation – Enhance workflows with document-aware chat interactions.

Setup Instructions 1️⃣ Google Drive Trigger: Detect & Fetch New Documents Watches for new files added to a specific Google Drive folder.

Retrieves the latest file metadata and passes it into the workflow.

2️⃣ Processing & Embedding the Document The document is downloaded via the Google Drive node.

Text data is split into smaller, retrievable chunks using Recursive Text Splitter.

Embeddings are created using Ollama’s Nomic-Embed Model.

Knowledge is stored in Qdrant Vector Database for fast AI-powered lookup.

3️⃣ AI Chatbot & Query Handling The Chat Trigger node listens for user queries.

The AI Agent retrieves context-aware answers by searching Qdrant’s vectorized documents.

The Llama 3 Model generates human-like responses based on stored knowledge.

Detailed Workflow Explanation πŸ”Ή Google Drive Trigger βœ… Monitors a specific folder for new documents. βœ… Automatically fetches document metadata when a file is uploaded.

πŸ”Ή Qdrant Vector Store βœ… Stores embedded document text, making retrieval instant & accurate. βœ… Allows the chatbot to reference stored knowledge dynamically.

πŸ”Ή Recursive Text Splitter βœ… Splits long documents into manageable chunks for efficient embedding. βœ… Improves chatbot response accuracy by organizing document data.

πŸ”Ή Llama 3 Chat Model βœ… Generates natural, human-like replies using AI. βœ… Uses retrieved document data for context-aware responses.

Customization Options πŸ”Ή Adjust polling frequency for document updates. πŸ”Ή Expand knowledge base by adding more storage sources. πŸ”Ή Refine chatbot responses with prompt tuning in Llama 3.
