Document QA

Build a question-and-answer chatbot with a document loaded from local memory.

Prerequisites​

Create the document QA flow​

  1. From the Langflow dashboard, click New Flow.
  2. Select Document QA.
  3. The Document QA flow is created.

This flow is composed of a chatbot with the Chat Input, Prompt, OpenAI, and Chat Output components, but also incorporates a File component, which loads a file from your local machine. The Parser component converts the data from the File component into the Prompt component as {Document}.

The Prompt component is instructed to answer questions based on the contents of {Document}. This gives the OpenAI component context it would not otherwise have access to.

Run the document QA flow​

  1. Add your OpenAI API key to the Open AI model component.

  2. To select a document to load, in the File component, click the Select files button. Select a local file or a file loaded with File management, and then click Select file. The file name appears in the component.

  3. Click the Playground button. Enter a question about the loaded document's content. You should receive a contextual response indicating that the AI has read your document.
