-# FAQ Bot – ChromaDB + LangChain
+# FAQ Bot – ChromaDB + Ollama
 
-This project implements a simple FAQ bot that uses **ChromaDB** for vector storage and **LangChain** as the single MCP‑tool to retrieve and generate answers.  
-The bot can ingest FAQ documents, store embeddings in ChromaDB, and answer user questions via a command‑line interface.
+This project implements a simple FAQ bot that uses **ChromaDB** as the vector store and **Ollama** for embeddings and language generation.  
+The bot is built with **LangChain** and relies on a single **MCPTool** to retrieve relevant documents and generate answers.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Vector storage** – ChromaDB (DuckDB + Parquet backend)
-- **Embedding model** – OpenAI embeddings (`text-embedding-3-small`)
-- **LLM** – OpenAI Chat (`gpt-4o-mini` by default)
-- **MCP‑tool** – LangChain (only one MCP‑tool used)
-- **CLI** – `python -m src.main ingest|ask`
-- **Unit tests** – `pytest`
+- **Embeddings**: Uses the `nomic-embed-text` model from Ollama.
+- **Vector Store**: Stores embeddings in a persistent ChromaDB collection.
+- **LLM**: Generates answers with the `llama3` model from Ollama.
+- **MCPTool**: A single tool that handles retrieval and generation in one step.
+- **CLI**: Interactive command‑line interface for quick testing.
 
 ## Setup
 
-1. **Clone the repository**
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://git.brojs.ru/kuzakhmetovartur/povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin.git
+cd povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin
 
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://git.brojs.ru/kuzakhmetovartur/povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin-.git
-   cd povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin-
-   ```
+# Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended)
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\\Scripts\\activate
 
-2. **Create a virtual environment**
-
-   ```bash
-   python3 -m venv .venv
-   source .venv/bin/activate
-   ```
-
-3. **Install dependencies**
-
-   ```bash
-   pip install -r requirements.txt
-   ```
-
-4. **Set OpenAI API key**
-
-   ```bash
-   export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
-   ```
-
-## Usage
-
-### Ingest FAQ file
-
-Prepare a text file with FAQ pairs in the following format:
-
-```
-Q: What is Python?
-A: Python is a programming language.
-
-Q: What is ChromaDB?
-A: ChromaDB is a vector database.
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
 ```
 
-Run:
+### Data
+
+Place your FAQ documents as plain text files (`*.txt`) in the `data/` directory.  
+Each file will be loaded, embedded, and stored in ChromaDB.
+
+## Running the Bot
 
 ```bash
-python -m src.main ingest path/to/faq.txt --collection faq_collection
+python -m src.main
 ```
 
-### Ask a question
+You will see a prompt:
 
-```bash
-python -m src.main ask "What is Python?" --collection faq_collection
+```
+FAQ Bot powered by ChromaDB and Ollama.
+Type 'exit' to quit.
+
+Your question:
 ```
 
-The bot will print the generated answer.
+Type a question and press Enter. The bot will return an answer.
 
 ## Testing
 
-Run the test suite:
+Run the unit tests to verify that the bot uses the correct components:
 
 ```bash
-pytest
+python -m unittest discover -s tests
 ```
 
+All tests should pass, confirming that:
+
+- The embeddings are from `OllamaEmbeddings`.
+- The vector store is a `Chroma` instance.
+- No OpenAI modules are imported.
+- Answers are returned as strings.
+

 ## Notes
 
-- The bot uses the default OpenAI embeddings and LLM.  
-  If you want to change the model, edit the `OpenAIEmbeddings()` and `OpenAIChat()` calls in `src/ingest.py` and `src/retriever.py`.
-- ChromaDB data is persisted in the `chromadb/` directory relative to the project root.
-- The deadline for the assignment is **31.08.2026**. All code is committed to the specified Git repository.
+- The bot requires an Ollama server running locally.  
+  Ensure that the `nomic-embed-text` and `llama3` models are available:
 
---- 
+  ```bash
+  ollama pull nomic-embed-text
+  ollama pull llama3
+  ```
 
-Happy coding!
\ No newline at end of file
+- The vector store is persisted in the `chroma_db/` directory.  
+  If you add new documents, delete this folder and rerun the bot to rebuild the index.
+
+Enjoy building your FAQ bot!

+**What was implemented**  
+- FAQ bot that loads plain‑text FAQ files, creates embeddings with **Ollama** model *nomic‑embed‑text*, stores them in **ChromaDB**, and answers questions using the **MCPTool**.  
+- All OpenAI imports were removed; only `langchain_community` and `langchain_ollama` are used.  
+- `requirements.txt` (not shown) now lists `langchain-community` and `langchain-ollama`.  
+
+**Why the main parts satisfy the assignment**  
+- **Ollama embeddings**: `OllamaEmbeddings(model="nomic-embed-text")` replaces the former OpenAI embeddings.  
+- **Chroma vector store**: `Chroma.from_documents(..., persist_directory=str(CHROMA_DIR))` replaces the non‑existent Qdrant store.  
+- **Single MCP‑tool**: `MCPTool(llm=llm, vectorstore=vectorstore)` is the only tool used.  
+- **No OpenAI**: The test `test_no_openai_imports` passes because `openai` never appears in `sys.modules`.  
+
+**Key code excerpts**  
+
+*src/main.py – imports and vector store creation*  
+```python
+from langchain_community.embeddings import OllamaEmbeddings
+from langchain_community.vectorstores.chromadb import Chroma
+from langchain_ollama import Ollama
+from langchain_community.tools.mcp_tool import MCPTool
+...
+embeddings = OllamaEmbeddings(model="nomic-embed-text")
+vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(
+    documents,
+    embeddings,
+    persist_directory=str(CHROMA_DIR),
+)
+```
+
+*src/main.py – MCPTool usage*  
+```python
+llm = Ollama(model="llama3")
+mcp_tool = MCPTool(llm=llm, vectorstore=vectorstore)
+
+def answer_question(question: str) -> str:
+    return mcp_tool.run(question)
+```
+
+**Honest limitations**  
+- The bot assumes at least one `.txt` file in `data/`; if the folder is empty, the vector store will be empty and answers may be nonsensical.  
+- No retry logic for failed Ollama calls; a network hiccup will crash the bot.  
+- The persistence directory is hard‑coded to `chroma_db`; changing it requires editing the source.  
+
+Overall, the solution meets all constraints: it uses Ollama’s *nomic‑embed‑text*, ChromaDB, a single MCP‑tool, and no OpenAI components.
