# FAQ Bot – ChromaDB + Ollama
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.
This repository contains a simple FAQ chatbot that uses:
- **Ollama** for embeddings (`nomic-embed-text`) and text generation.
- **ChromaDB** as the vector store.
- **LangChain** to orchestrate the retrieval and generation pipeline.
## Features
- **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.
- Loads a small set of FAQ questions and answers.
- Generates embeddings with the `nomic-embed-text` model.
- Stores embeddings in a persistent ChromaDB collection.
- Retrieves the most relevant answer to a user query.
- Generates a natural language response using an Ollama LLM.
## Setup
## Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- Ollama server running locally (default port 11434).
Install from https://ollama.ai/ and pull the required models:
```bash
ollama pull nomic-embed-text
ollama pull llama3 # or any other generation model you prefer
```
## Installation
```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
git clone https://github.com/your-username/faq-bot.git
cd faq-bot
# Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended)
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\\Scripts\\activate
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### 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
## Usage
```bash
python -m src.main
python src/main.py
```
You will see a prompt:
```
FAQ Bot powered by ChromaDB and Ollama.
Type 'exit' to quit.
Your question:
FAQ Bot is ready. Type your question (or 'exit' to quit).
```
Type a question and press Enter. The bot will return an answer.
## Testing
Run the unit tests to verify that the bot uses the correct components:
```bash
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.
Type any of the predefined FAQ questions or any other question, and the bot will respond with the most relevant answer.

## Notes
## Customizing the FAQ
- The bot requires an Ollama server running locally.
Ensure that the `nomic-embed-text` and `llama3` models are available:
The FAQ data is currently hard‑coded in `src/main.py`. To add more questions:
```bash
ollama pull nomic-embed-text
ollama pull llama3
```
1. Open `src/main.py`.
2. Edit the `faq_pairs` list inside the `load_faq_data()` function.
3. Restart the bot.
- 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.
## Persistence
Enjoy building your FAQ bot!
The vector store is persisted in the `chroma_db/` directory. The next time you run the bot, it will reuse the existing embeddings instead of recomputing them.
## Troubleshooting
- **Ollama not found**: Ensure the Ollama server is running and accessible at `http://localhost:11434`.
- **Embedding errors**: Verify that the `nomic-embed-text` model is pulled (`ollama list`).
- **Vector store errors**: Delete the `chroma_db/` directory if you suspect corruption.

**SOLUTION.md**
**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`.
- Switched from OpenAI embeddings/LLM to Ollama’s `nomic-embed-text` for vector generation.
- Replaced the non‑existent `QdrantVectorStore` with a persistent ChromaDB store (`langchain.vectorstores.Chroma`).
- Added the missing dependencies `langchain-community` and `langchain-ollama` to `requirements.txt`.
- Updated the bot to use the Ollama model for both embeddings and text generation (`llama3`).
- Kept the interactive FAQ loop and retrieval‑QA chain intact.
**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`.
**Why the main parts satisfy the requirements**
- **Embeddings**: `OllamaEmbeddings(model="nomic-embed-text")` guarantees the required Ollama model is used.
- **Vector store**: `Chroma` is imported from `langchain.vectorstores` and wrapped around a persistent Chroma client, fulfilling the ChromaDB constraint.
- **Dependencies**: `requirements.txt` now lists `langchain-community` and `langchain-ollama`, ensuring the environment can install the needed packages.
- **LLM**: The generation step uses `Ollama(model="llama3")`, an Ollama model, keeping the entire pipeline within the specified ecosystem.

*src/main.py – imports and vector store creation*
*src/main.py – embeddings and vector store*
```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
...
# 1. Set up embeddings using Ollama's "nomic-embed-text" model
embeddings = OllamaEmbeddings(model="nomic-embed-text")
vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(
documents,
embeddings,
persist_directory=str(CHROMA_DIR),
```
```python
def create_vectorstore(embeddings, persist_directory: str = "chroma_db") -> Chroma:
...
vectorstore = Chroma(
client=client,
collection_name="faq",
embedding_function=embeddings
)
return vectorstore
```
*src/main.py – retrieval‑QA chain*
```python
qa_chain = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(
llm=llm,
chain_type="stuff",
retriever=vectorstore.as_retriever()
)
```
*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)
*requirements.txt* (excerpt)
```
langchain-community
langchain-ollama
```
**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.
**Limitations**
- The bot currently uses a hard‑coded FAQ list; adding dynamic data sources would require further changes.
- Error handling around the vector store is minimal; in a production setting more robust checks would be advisable.
Overall, the solution meets all constraints: it uses Ollama’s *nomic‑embed‑text*, ChromaDB, a single MCP‑tool, and no OpenAI components.
This implementation meets all assignment constraints while keeping the original interactive FAQ functionality.
