Localragchatbot

I've been remiss in providing annual blog posts the last couple of years, but here's one for 2025!

I'm giving a workshop at Google Development Groups on Campus today at WCP Student Activity Center, Room 3.112 at 5PM. This workshop will cover the basics of setting up a local RAG chatbot on your own computer, rather than sending your data to the cloud. Following are the materials for the workshop, in order of presentation.

Slideshow contains the slides for the workshop.

Slideshow Source contains the source code for the slideshow.

localRAGchatbot.qmd contains the Quarto source code for building and running the chatbot.

localRAGchatbot.html contains the rendered HTML for the chatbot.

Xiao2025.pdf contains the book we'll be ingesting into the chatbot.

localRAGchatbot2.py contains the Python source code for the chatbot. This is only used for debugging, in case the above .qmd file doesn't work.
