# CSRC Car Manual RAG System
An intelligent RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system for querying car manual documents using OpenAI and vector stores.
## πŸš€ Features
- **RAG-based Q&A**: Ask questions about car manual content
- **Vector Store**: Fast and accurate document retrieval
- **Knowledge Graph**: Visualize document relationships
- **Personalized Learning**: Adaptive learning paths (optional)
- **Scenario Contextualization**: Context-aware responses (optional)
## πŸ“‹ Setup Instructions
### 1. Clone or Upload to Hugging Face Spaces
- **Option A**: Create a new Space on Hugging Face and upload files
- **Option B**: Connect your GitHub repository to Spaces
### 2. Set Environment Variables (Secrets)
Go to **Settings > Secrets** in your Space and add:
```
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key-here
```
⚠️ **Important**: Never commit API keys to the repository. Always use Spaces Secrets.
### 3. Upload PDF Files
Ensure your PDF files are in the `car_manual/` directory:
```
car_manual/
β”œβ”€β”€ Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC.pdf
β”œβ”€β”€ Function of Active Lane Change Assist.pdf
β”œβ”€β”€ Function of Active Steering Assist.pdf
└── Function of Active Stop-and-Go Assist.pdf
```
### 4. Wait for Build
Spaces will automatically:
- Install dependencies from `requirements.txt`
- Run `app.py`
- Start the Gradio interface
## πŸ“ Project Structure
```
.
β”œβ”€β”€ app.py # Hugging Face Spaces entry point
β”œβ”€β”€ main.py # Local development entry point
β”œβ”€β”€ requirements.txt # Python dependencies
β”œβ”€β”€ src/ # Core modules
β”œβ”€β”€ modules/ # Feature modules
β”œβ”€β”€ car_manual/ # PDF files directory
β”œβ”€β”€ config/ # Configuration files
└── output/ # Output directory (auto-created)
```
## πŸ”§ Configuration
### Required
- **OPENAI_API_KEY**: Your OpenAI API key (set in Spaces Secrets)
### Optional
- **PDF Files**: Place in `car_manual/` directory
- **Vector Store**: Automatically created on first run
## πŸ“– Usage
1. Wait for the Space to build (check the logs)
2. Open the Gradio interface
3. Enter your question in the input field
4. Get answers with source citations
## πŸ› Troubleshooting
### Error: OPENAI_API_KEY not found
- Go to Settings > Secrets
- Add `OPENAI_API_KEY` with your actual API key
- Restart the Space
### Error: No PDF files found
- Ensure PDF files are in the `car_manual/` directory
- Check file permissions
- Verify file names (case-sensitive)
### Build Fails
- Check the logs for error messages
- Verify `requirements.txt` is correct
- Ensure all Python dependencies are compatible
## πŸ“ Notes
- Vector store is created automatically on first run
- Vector store ID is saved in `config/vector_store_config.json`
- First initialization may take time (uploading PDFs to OpenAI)
