📚 Usage Guide

Step 1: Index Your Knowledge Base

1. Navigate to the "Knowledge Base Indexing" tab
2. Add URLs of documents you want to index (default includes AI/ML research papers)
3. Click "Index Documents" to process and store in Astra DB
4. Wait for the indexing process to complete (progress shown in real-time)

Step 2: Execute Intelligent Queries

1. Switch to the "Intelligent Query" tab
2. Enter your question in the text input
3. Click "Execute Query"
4. The system will:
   • Analyze your query
   • Route to optimal data source (Vector Store or Wikipedia)
   • Retrieve relevant information
   • Display results with metadata

Step 3: Monitor Performance

1. Visit the "Analytics" tab to see:
   • Total queries executed
   • Routing distribution (Vector Store vs Wikipedia)
   • Average execution time
   • Complete query history

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Required	Default
ASTRA_DB_APPLICATION_TOKEN	DataStax Astra DB token	Yes	-
ASTRA_DB_ID	Astra DB instance ID	Yes	-
GROQ_API_KEY	Groq API authentication key	Yes	-

Customization Options

Modify document chunking:

# In app.py - KnowledgeBaseManager.load_and_process_documents()
text_splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter.from_tiktoken_encoder(
    chunk_size=500,  # Adjust chunk size
    chunk_overlap=50  # Adjust overlap
)

Change embedding model:

# In app.py - KnowledgeBaseManager.setup_embeddings()
self.embeddings = HuggingFaceEmbeddings(
    model_name="all-MiniLM-L6-v2"  # Try: "all-mpnet-base-v2" for higher quality
)

Adjust LLM parameters:

# In app.py - IntelligentRouter.initialize()
self.llm = ChatGroq(
    model_name="llama-3.1-8b-instant",  # Try other Groq models
    temperature=0  # Increase for more creative responses
)
