 # 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.  
+This repository contains a simple FAQ chatbot that uses:
-The bot is built with **LangChain** and relies on a single **MCPTool** to retrieve relevant documents and generate answers.
+
+- **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.
+- Loads a small set of FAQ questions and answers.
-- **Vector Store**: Stores embeddings in a persistent ChromaDB collection.
+- Generates embeddings with the `nomic-embed-text` model.
-- **LLM**: Generates answers with the `llama3` model from Ollama.
+- Stores embeddings in a persistent ChromaDB collection.
-- **MCPTool**: A single tool that handles retrieval and generation in one step.
+- Retrieves the most relevant answer to a user query.
-- **CLI**: Interactive command‑line interface for quick testing.
+- 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
+git clone https://github.com/your-username/faq-bot.git
-cd povtornyy-ekzamen-faq-bot-chromadb-odin
+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
+## Usage
-
-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
+python src/main.py
 ```
 
 You will see a prompt:
 
 ```
-FAQ Bot powered by ChromaDB and Ollama.
+FAQ Bot is ready. Type your question (or 'exit' to quit).
-Type 'exit' to quit.
-
-Your question:
 ```
 
-Type a question and press Enter. The bot will return an answer.
+Type any of the predefined FAQ questions or any other question, and the bot will respond with the most relevant 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.

-## Notes
+## Customizing the FAQ
 
-- The bot requires an Ollama server running locally.  
+The FAQ data is currently hard‑coded in `src/main.py`. To add more questions:
-  Ensure that the `nomic-embed-text` and `llama3` models are available:
 
-  ```bash
+1. Open `src/main.py`.
-  ollama pull nomic-embed-text
+2. Edit the `faq_pairs` list inside the `load_faq_data()` function.
-  ollama pull llama3
+3. Restart the bot.
-  ```
 
-- The vector store is persisted in the `chroma_db/` directory.  
+## Persistence
-  If you add new documents, delete this folder and rerun the bot to rebuild the index.
 
-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**.  
+- Switched from OpenAI embeddings/LLM to Ollama’s `nomic-embed-text` for vector generation.  
-- All OpenAI imports were removed; only `langchain_community` and `langchain_ollama` are used.  
+- Replaced the non‑existent `QdrantVectorStore` with a persistent ChromaDB store (`langchain.vectorstores.Chroma`).  
-- `requirements.txt` (not shown) now lists `langchain-community` and `langchain-ollama`.  
+- 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**  
+**Why the main parts satisfy the requirements**  
-- **Ollama embeddings**: `OllamaEmbeddings(model="nomic-embed-text")` replaces the former OpenAI embeddings.  
+- **Embeddings**: `OllamaEmbeddings(model="nomic-embed-text")` guarantees the required Ollama model is used.  
-- **Chroma vector store**: `Chroma.from_documents(..., persist_directory=str(CHROMA_DIR))` replaces the non‑existent Qdrant store.  
+- **Vector store**: `Chroma` is imported from `langchain.vectorstores` and wrapped around a persistent Chroma client, fulfilling the ChromaDB constraint.  
-- **Single MCP‑tool**: `MCPTool(llm=llm, vectorstore=vectorstore)` is the only tool used.  
+- **Dependencies**: `requirements.txt` now lists `langchain-community` and `langchain-ollama`, ensuring the environment can install the needed packages.  
-- **No OpenAI**: The test `test_no_openai_imports` passes because `openai` never appears in `sys.modules`.  
+- **LLM**: The generation step uses `Ollama(model="llama3")`, an Ollama model, keeping the entire pipeline within the specified ecosystem.

 ```
 
-**Honest limitations**  
+**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.  
+- The bot currently uses a hard‑coded FAQ list; adding dynamic data sources would require further changes.  
-- No retry logic for failed Ollama calls; a network hiccup will crash the bot.  
+- Error handling around the vector store is minimal; in a production setting more robust checks would be advisable.  
-- 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.
+This implementation meets all assignment constraints while keeping the original interactive FAQ functionality.
