Self-Service KB Assistant (Free, No API Key)

A lightweight RAG chatbot that answers only from your Markdown Knowledge Base, cites sources, asks clarifying questions when uncertain, and offers quick guided intents. Built with Gradio, FAISS, sentence-transformers, and an extractive QA model—no paid API needed.

• Markdown-based KB (/kb/*.md)
• Embeddings: sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
• Vector search: FAISS (cosine on normalized vectors)
• Reader: deepset/roberta-base-squad2 (extractive QA)
• Citations (title + section)
• Low-confidence fallback (suggest related articles)
• Quick intents (buttons for top tasks)
• One-click “Rebuild Index” admin control
