Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll step into the role of a software developer at InfoHub, an AI startup attempting to build a chatbot that can answer queries about a company’s knowledge base. You’ve already built the basics of the chatbot—now it needs to be deployed! To do this, you’ll use the LangChain feature LangServe to create a LangChain server application. You’ll build your chatbot using Streamlit and then deploy it to the Streamlit cloud.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
