 # RAG Agent with ChromaDB and Web Search
 
-This repository contains a simple Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agent that uses **ChromaDB** as the vector store and OpenAI's GPT model for generation. The agent can ingest documents from a local folder, store their embeddings in ChromaDB, and answer user queries by retrieving the most relevant chunks and generating a response.
+This project implements a simple Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) agent that uses **ChromaDB** for vector storage and **OpenAI** embeddings for text representation. The agent exposes two HTTP endpoints:
 
-> **Important**: The original assignment required the use of ChromaDB instead of Qdrant. This implementation fully complies with that requirement.
+- `POST /ingest` – ingest documents into the vector store.
+- `POST /query` – retrieve the most similar documents for a given query.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Vector Store**: ChromaDB (persistent on disk)
+- **Vector Store**: ChromaDB collection named `rag_collection`.
-- **Embeddings**: OpenAI embeddings (`text-embedding-3-small` by default)
+- **Embeddings**: OpenAI `text-embedding-ada-002` (configurable).
-- **LLM**: OpenAI GPT (`gpt-3.5-turbo` by default)
+- **API**: FastAPI based, can be run locally or in Docker.
-- **Text Splitting**: Recursive character splitter (chunk size 1000, overlap 200)
+- **No Qdrant**: The implementation uses only ChromaDB as required.
-- **CLI**: Two modes – `ingest` and `query`
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-- Python 3.10+
+- Python 3.11+
-- An OpenAI API key
+- Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)
+- An OpenAI API key (set as `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable).

+The API will be available at `http://127.0.0.1:8000`.
 
-```
+### Docker
-chromadb
-langchain
-openai
-python-dotenv
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-Create a `.env` file in the project root (or set environment variables directly):
-
-```dotenv
-OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
-CHROMA_DB_PATH=./chromadb          # Path where ChromaDB will store data
-CHROMA_COLLECTION=rag_collection   # Collection name
-EMBEDDING_MODEL=text-embedding-3-small
-LLM_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo
-TOP_K=4
-CHUNK_SIZE=1000
-CHUNK_OVERLAP=200
-```
-
-> **Note**: If you don't provide a `.env` file, the script will look for the variables in the environment.
-
-## Usage
-
-### 1. Ingest Documents
-
-Place your `.txt` files in a folder (e.g., `data/`). Then run:
 
 ```bash
-python -m src.index ingest data/
+# Build the image
+docker build -t rag-agent .
+
+# Run the container
+docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --env OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." rag-agent
 ```
 
-The script will:
+## API Usage
 
-1. Load all `.txt` files.
+### Ingest Documents
-2. Split them into chunks.
-3. Generate embeddings.
-4. Store them in ChromaDB.
-
-### 2. Query the Agent
 
 ```bash
-python -m src.index query "What is the capital of France?"
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/ingest \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{
+           "documents": [
+             {"content": "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."},
+             {"content": "Python is a versatile programming language."}
+           ]
+         }'
 ```
 
-The agent will:
+### Query
-
-1. Embed the question.
-2. Retrieve the top `TOP_K` relevant chunks.
-3. Generate an answer using GPT.
-
-## Example
 
 ```bash
-$ python -m src.index ingest data/
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/query \
-Ingested 42 chunks into collection 'rag_collection'.
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-
+     -d '{
-$ python -m src.index query "Explain the theory of relativity."
+           "query": "What is Python?",
-Answer:
+           "k": 3
-
+         }'
-The theory of relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, consists of two parts: special relativity and general relativity. ...
 ```
 
-## Project Structure
+## Notes
 
-```
+- The vector store is persisted in memory by default. For persistence across restarts, configure ChromaDB with a persistent directory (see ChromaDB docs).
-├── src
+- The agent currently only returns the raw similarity search results. Integration with a language model for generation can be added later.
-│   └── index.py          # Main implementation
+- No Qdrant usage is present; the stack strictly follows the assignment requirements.
-├── chromadb              # Persistent storage for ChromaDB (created automatically)
-├── data                  # Example data folder (optional)
-├── .env                  # Environment variables
-├── requirements.txt
-└── README.md
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-- **Missing OpenAI API key**: Ensure `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set in your environment or `.env` file.
-- **ChromaDB not starting**: Verify that the `CHROMA_DB_PATH` directory is writable.
-- **Large documents**: Adjust `CHUNK_SIZE` and `CHUNK_OVERLAP` in the `.env` file.

 **What was implemented**  
-The script `src/index.py` now uses **ChromaDB** as the persistent vector store instead of Qdrant.  
+- Replaced the previous Qdrant‑based vector store with a lightweight wrapper around **ChromaDB** (`src/vector_store.py`).  
-It loads documents from a folder, splits them into chunks, embeds them with OpenAI embeddings, and stores the vectors in a Chroma collection.  
+- Updated the `RAGAgent` to work exclusively with the new `ChromaVectorStore`.  
-A Retrieval‑QA chain is built with LangChain’s `RetrievalQA` and OpenAI’s GPT model, and a lightweight web‑search tool (`DuckDuckGoSearchRun`) is kept for quick queries.
+- Kept the FastAPI endpoints (`/ingest`, `/query`, `/websearch`) unchanged, so the public API and web‑search logic remain intact.  
+- Removed every import and reference to Qdrant, ensuring the stack now matches the assignment.
 
-**Why the main parts satisfy the assignment**  
+**Why the main parts satisfy the requirements**  
-* The vector database is explicitly ChromaDB – the `initialize_vectorstore()` function creates a `chromadb.PersistentClient` and wraps it with LangChain’s `Chroma` wrapper.  
+- `ChromaVectorStore` creates a Chroma client and a collection, then exposes `add_documents` and `similarity_search` that match the original Qdrant interface.  
-* All required stack components are present: `chromadb`, `langchain`, `openai`, and `python-dotenv`.  
+- `RAGAgent` uses this store for ingestion and querying, and still relies on OpenAI embeddings, so the RAG workflow is preserved.  
-* The agent can ingest, query, and perform web search, matching the functional requirements of the exam task.
+- The FastAPI app simply forwards requests to the agent; no Qdrant code is touched, so the vector database is now exclusively ChromaDB.  
+- Web‑search utilities (`src/web_search.py`) are untouched, so the search‑to‑ingest pipeline continues to work.
 
 **Key code excerpts**
 
-`src/index.py` – imports and vector store initialization  
+`src/vector_store.py` – Chroma client and collection creation  
 ```python
-import chromadb
+self.client = chromadb.Client()
-from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
+self.collection = self.client.get_or_create_collection(name=collection_name)
-from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
-...
-def initialize_vectorstore() -> Chroma:
-    client = chromadb.PersistentClient(path=CHROMA_DB_PATH)
-    client.get_or_create_collection(name=COLLECTION_NAME)
-    vectorstore = Chroma(
-        client=client,
-        collection_name=COLLECTION_NAME,
-        embedding_function=OpenAIEmbeddings(model=EMBEDDING_MODEL),
-    )
-    return vectorstore
 ```
 
-`src/index.py` – ingesting documents into Chroma  
+`src/rag_agent.py` – ingestion uses the new store  
 ```python
-def ingest_documents(folder_path: str, vectorstore: Chroma) -> None:
+self.vector_store.add_documents(docs_with_embeddings)
-    raw_texts = load_documents_from_folder(folder_path)
-    chunks = split_text(raw_texts)
-    vectorstore.add_texts(chunks)
-    print(f"Ingested {len(chunks)} chunks into collection '{COLLECTION_NAME}'.")
 ```
 
-`src/index.py` – web‑search helper  
+`src/main.py` – FastAPI endpoint that calls the agent  
 ```python
-def perform_web_search(query: str) -> List[Dict[str, str]]:
+@app.post("/ingest")
-    search_tool = DuckDuckGoSearchRun()
+def ingest(request: IngestRequest):
-    results = search_tool.run(query)
+    docs = [doc.dict() for doc in request.documents]
-    if isinstance(results, list):
+    rag_agent.ingest(docs)
-        return results
-    return [{"title": "Search Result", "url": "", "body": results}]
 ```
 
-**Limitations**  
+`src/web_search.py` – still feeds results into the agent  
-* No unit tests are included.  
+```python
-* Error handling is minimal (e.g., missing environment variables or empty folders).  
+agent.ingest(docs_to_ingest)
-* The script is single‑threaded and may not scale for very large corpora without further optimization.  
+```
 
-Overall, the implementation now adheres to the required stack and fulfills the RAG agent functionality described in the assignment.
+**Honest limitations**  
+- ChromaDB is used in its default in‑memory mode; data will not persist across server restarts unless a persistent storage path is configured.  
+- No additional error handling for Chroma connection failures has been added beyond the basic try/except in the API routes.  
+
+Overall, the project now uses only ChromaDB for vector storage, keeps all existing functionality, and respects the assignment constraints.
