Data Wellness Q&A Chatbot

This is a reverse chatbot that asks the users questions about data integration practices and then gives advice based on a body of knowledge. This version operates a bit like an agent which tries to gather enough information to be able to give advice. So it may ask an unspecified number of questions.

Cloning the project

You should clone the project and then initialize the UI module with these commands:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Setup

We suggest to use Conda to manage the virtual environment and then install poetry.

conda activate base
conda remove -n data_wellness_agent --all
conda create -n data_wellness_agent python=3.13.1
conda activate data_wellness_agent
pip install poetry

Installation

Change the directory to the root folder of the project.

poetry install

UI Installation

Before you run, you should compile the UI with this command from the root folder of the project. Please note that this requires the installation of Yarn and node 18.18.0 or later.

poetry run build-ui

The UI connects the websocket to port 8085 natively. If the Python server runs on a different port, please change the port accordingly.

Running

Prepare the Postgres DB

Before you run for the first time, you will need to create the Postgres database. Execute this command to start psql (make sure Postgres is installed)

On Linux you can install Postgres like this:

sudo -u postgres psql

On Windows you will need to download the distribution from here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/

Then create the database:

CREATE DATABASE data_wellness_companion
    WITH
    OWNER = postgres
    ENCODING = 'UTF8'
    CONNECTION LIMIT = -1
    IS_TEMPLATE = False;

and add the initial tables with some data after exiting psql:

Run on the console:

sudo -u postgres psql data_wellness_companion
