| # Advanced Conversational AI for E-Commerce: V1 vs. V2 | |
| This repository showcases the evolution of a RAG-based chatbot, demonstrating a clear progression from a self-hosted prototype (v1) to a professional, API-driven conversational AI (v2). | |
| --- | |
| ## V2: The Professional Multilingual Assistant (API-Driven) | |
| This version represents a modern, production-ready system built on a decoupled architecture with full support for English and Malay. | |
| * **Architecture (`/v2_multilingual_api`):** | |
| * **Backend:** A secure FastAPI server implementing an advanced **Retrieve-and-Re-rank** pipeline. It uses multilingual models, Pinecone for vector storage, and the Google Gemini API for generation. | |
| * **Frontend:** A responsive Streamlit chat interface. | |
| * **Knowledge Base:** `/knowledge_base/v2_multilingual` | |
| --- | |
| ## V1: The Self-Hosted Prototype (Malay-Only) | |
| This version is the original project, serving as a technical baseline. | |
| * **Architecture (`/v1_malay_selfhosted`):** A single Streamlit application using a self-hosted `mt5-small` model and a local FAISS index. | |
| * **Knowledge Base:** `/knowledge_base/v1_malay` | |
