# πŸ“š RagBot: Chatbot + Document QA
This app lets you chat with any uploaded PDF and ask questions β€” either from the document or general ones β€” powered by **local open-source models**. Combines RAG with chatbot UX.
## πŸš€ Features
- Upload PDFs and chat with them
- General knowledge + document-specific answers
- Accurate retrieval using FAISS and sentence-transformers
- Clean, sticky UI with full chat history
- Runs 100% free using lightweight Hugging Face models
## 🧠 Powered By
- 🧠 Embeddings: `sentence-transformers/paraphrase-MiniLM-L6-v2`
- πŸ“– QA Model: `distilbert-base-cased-distilled-squad`
- 🧰 Backend: Streamlit + FAISS + Transformers
## πŸ’‘ How It Works
1. Upload your PDF
2. App chunks & embeds the text
3. Uses FAISS to retrieve context
4. Hugging Face model generates answers:
- Uses the doc context if available
- Falls back to general QA
- Refuses to answer if uncertain
## πŸ“¦ Dependencies
```bash
pip install streamlit faiss-cpu sentence-transformers transformers PyMuPDF
