# 👁 Hawkins Archive RAG — Stranger Things Chatbot

A **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)** chatbot that answers questions about the **Stranger Things universe** using **semantic search + context-grounded generation**.

🔗 **Live Demo:** https://huggingface.co/spaces/siddheshrj/Stranger_things_rag

---

## 🚀 What this Space does

This chatbot:
- Takes your question (example: **"Who is Mike Wheeler?"**)  
- Retrieves the most relevant context from the Stranger Things knowledge base  
- Generates a natural response using an LLM  
- Ensures answers are structured with **relationships, role/passion, and iconic traits**

---

## ✨ Features

✅ Context-aware answers using RAG (reduces hallucination)  
✅ Stranger Things themed UI (Hawkins Lab vibe)  
✅ Fast retrieval using embeddings + similarity search  
✅ Character-focused response formatting  
✅ Hosted & deployed on Hugging Face Spaces (Docker)

---

## 🧠 How RAG Works (Simple)

RAG = **Retrieve + Generate**

1. **Retrieve:** find relevant context chunks using embeddings  
2. **Generate:** pass context + question to LLM for final answer  

This makes responses more accurate and grounded compared to plain chatbots.
