Dropbox AI Chat

Quickly summarize the content and get the information you need in real-time from private large unstructured documents in your Dropbox. The same tool can be used with OneDrive.

Demo

See how the tool works:

Ideally, the LLM aids the process of studying Stochastic Processes from the text book uploaded. However, my Open AI credits have expired and hence the demonstration was not perfect.

How to run the tool

There are 3 ways to run the app:

Run with Conda

For a step-by-step walkthrough in real time (~7 mins) check out the video below:

Run with Docker

1. Create .env file in the root directory of the project, copy and paste the below config. Replace the OPENAI_API_TOKEN configuration value with your key {OPENAI_API_KEY} and replace DROPBOX_LOCAL_FOLDER_PATH with a path where Dropbox folder is located {REPLACE_WITH_DROPBOX_FOLDER_PATH}. For example, if the current project folder is DROPBOX-SEARCH-TOOL, you navigate to the Dropbox path in the home directory: ../Dropbox/documents. Other properties are optional to change and be default.

OPENAI_API_TOKEN={OPENAI_API_KEY}
EMBEDDER_LOCATOR=text-embedding-ada-002
EMBEDDING_DIMENSION=1536
MODEL_LOCATOR=gpt-3.5-turbo
MAX_TOKENS=200
TEMPERATURE=0.0
DROPBOX_LOCAL_FOLDER_PATH={REPLACE_WITH_DROPBOX_RELATIVE_PATH}

2. From the project root folder, open your terminal and run docker compose up.
3. Navigate to localhost:8501 on your browser when docker installion is successful.

Run from the source

Prerequisites

1. Make sure that Python 3.10 or above installed on your machine.
2. Download and Install Pip to manage project packages.
3. Create an OpenAI account and generate a new API Key: To access the OpenAI API, you will need to create an API Key. You can do this by logging into the OpenAI website and navigating to the API Key management page.
4. Use your Dropbox/OneDrive account.

Then, follow the easy steps to install and get started using the sample app.

Step 1: Clone the repository

This is done with the git clone command followed by the URL of the repository:

git clone https://github.com/pathway-labs/dropbox-ai-chat

Next, navigate to the project folder:

cd dropbox-ai-chat

Step 2: Set environment variables

Create .env file in the root directory of the project, copy and paste the below config, and replace the {OPENAI_API_KEY} configuration value with your key.

OPENAI_API_TOKEN={OPENAI_API_KEY}
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8080
EMBEDDER_LOCATOR=text-embedding-ada-002
EMBEDDING_DIMENSION=1536
MODEL_LOCATOR=gpt-3.5-turbo
MAX_TOKENS=200
TEMPERATURE=0.0
DROPBOX_LOCAL_FOLDER_PATH="../../../mnt/c/Users/bumur/Dropbox/documents"

Replace DROPBOX_LOCAL_FOLDER_PATH with your local Dropbox folder path and optionally, you customize other values.

Step 3 (Optional): Create a new virtual environment

Create a new virtual environment in the same folder and activate that environment:

python -m venv pw-env && source pw-env/bin/activate

Step 4: Install the app dependencies

Install the required packages:

pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt

Step 5: Run the Pathway API

You start the application by running main.py:

python main.py

Step 6: Run Streamlit UI

You can run the UI separately by running Streamlit app streamlit run ui.py command. It connects to the Pathway's backend API automatically and you will see the UI frontend is running on your browser.
