The application -will load a knowledge document (a PDF), index its content in a vector database, and use a GPT-based -language model to answer questions by retrieving information from the document. Weβll use **LangChain -1.0** (with the new LangGraph framework) for building our pipeline, **Pinecone** as the vector database, and an -OpenAI GPT-3.5 model (a "mini" GPT) for answering questions. Each part below introduces a component of -the system with background and code snippets. +This project implements **Feature 1: Query Planning & Decomposition Agent** for the IKMS (Intelligent Knowledge Management System) Multi-Agent RAG application. It adds an intelligent planning layer that analyzes complex questions and creates structured search strategies before retrieval begins. -## 1. Selecting and Ingesting a Knowledge Document +Built upon a document question-answering system using **LangChain 1.0**, **LangGraph**, **Pinecone** vector database, and **OpenAI GPT models**. -**Choosing a Document:** First, choose a PDF document that contains the knowledge your app will use (for -example, a short research paper, a company FAQ, or a technical article). We will use a single PDF for -simplicity. The content of this PDF will be indexed so the AI can later retrieve information from it. Ensure you -have the file path or URL to the PDF. +## What's New -**PDF Loader:** To extract text from the PDF, we use the LangChain **PyMuPDF4LLM** document loader (a -community integration). This loader uses the PyMuPDF library to convert PDF pages into text (Markdown -format) optimized for LLM processing. It handles complex layouts (multi-columns, tables) and outputs -clean text. We can load the PDF either as one combined document or as separate pages. For large PDFs, itβs -often useful to treat each page or section as a separate chunk for indexing. - -Below is a code snippet to load a PDF file using PyMuPDF4LLMLoader. This will read the PDF and return a -list of Document objects (one per page in this example): - -``` -# Install the integration package first: -# pip install langchain-pymupdf4llm langchain-core -``` -``` -fromlangchain_pymupdf4llm importPyMuPDF4LLMLoader -``` -``` -# Initialize the PDF loader for a given file path (or URL) -loader = PyMuPDF4LLMLoader( -file_path="path/to/your/document.pdf", -mode="page" # "page" mode gives one Document per page; use "single" for -whole PDF as one Document -) -``` +### Before (Original System) ``` -# Load the document(s) from the PDF -docs= loader.load() -``` -``` -1 +User Question β Retrieval β Summarization β Verification β Answer ``` +### After (With Query Planning) ``` -print(f"Loaded {len(docs)} documents from the PDF.") -print(docs[0].page_content[:200]) # preview the first 200 characters of the -first page +User Question β PLANNING β Retrieval β Summarization β Verification β Answer + β + Analyzes & Decomposes Question ``` -**Explanation:** In the code above, we create a PyMuPDF4LLMLoader with mode="page" to split the PDF -by pages. The loaderβs load() method returns a list of Document objects. Each Document contains the -page text in page_content and metadata (like page number). If your PDF is small or if you prefer a single -combined document, you could use mode="single" to get one Document with the entire PDF content. -Keep in mind that very large documents should be split into smaller chunks (e.g., by page or using a text -splitter) so that they can be embedded and retrieved efficiently. -## 2. Setting Up the Vector Database (Indexing Pipeline) +## Key Features -Once we have the text from the PDF, the next step is to **create vector embeddings** for that text and store -them in a vector database. Weβll use **Pinecone** for this purpose. Pinecone is a fully managed **vector -database** that excels at storing and querying high-dimensional embeddings for semantic search. In -other words, Pinecone allows us to store the document text in vector form and quickly find relevant parts -later using similarity search. +### 1. **Intelligent Query Analysis** + - Identifies key concepts and entities in questions + - Rephrases ambiguous or unclear questions + - Detects question complexity level + - Creates strategic search plans -**Embedding Model:** To convert text into vectors (embeddings), we use a pre-trained model. A common -choice is OpenAIβs **text-embedding-ada-002** model, which turns text into a 1536-dimensional vector -representation. (You could also use other embedding models, e.g., from HuggingFace or Cohere, but -we'll use OpenAI for demonstration.) We will use the LangChain OpenAIEmbeddings class to interface -with this model. Make sure to set your OpenAI API key (e.g., via environment variable) before running the -code. +### 2. **Question Decomposition** + - Breaks complex multi-part questions into focused sub-questions + - Each sub-question targets one specific concept + - Optimizes retrieval strategy for comprehensive coverage + - Handles comparisons, multi-aspect queries, and complex relationships -**Pinecone Setup:** You need a Pinecone account to get an API key and an environment name. In production, -you would create a Pinecone **index** (with a certain dimension matching the embedding size). For our -example, we'll create an index (if not already created) and then use LangChainβs integration to add our -document vectors. Ensure the pinecone Python package is installed (pip install pinecone- -client). +### 3. **Enhanced Retrieval** + - Uses planning output to guide vector database searches + - Retrieves more relevant and diverse document chunks + - Better coverage of multi-faceted questions + - Improved context quality for answer generation -Below is a code snippet to generate embeddings for the loaded documents and index them in Pinecone: +### 4. **Interactive UI** + - Visual display of search strategy and planning process + - Shows decomposed sub-questions + - Real-time statistics (sub-questions count, context length, response time) + - Toggle planning on/off to compare results + - Modern, responsive design with gradient backgrounds + +### 5. **Complete RAG Pipeline** + - PDF document ingestion using PyMuPDF4LLM + - Vector embeddings with OpenAI's text-embedding-ada-002 + - Pinecone vector database for semantic search + - GPT-3.5 Turbo for answer generation + - FastAPI backend with CORS support + +## Live Demo + +- **Frontend**: https://ikms-beta.vercel.app +- **Backend**: https://ikms.onrender.com/ +- + +## System Architecture + +### Technology Stack + +**Backend:** +- **LangChain 1.0**: Framework for LLM applications +- **LangGraph**: Multi-agent graph orchestration +- **Pinecone**: Vector database (1536 dimensions for ada-002) +- **OpenAI**: GPT-3.5 Turbo (LLM) + text-embedding-ada-002 (embeddings) +- **FastAPI**: Modern Python web framework +- **PyMuPDF4LLM**: PDF document loading and processing + +**Frontend:** +- Pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript +- Responsive design with modern UI +- Real-time API integration + +### Pipeline Flow ``` -# Install required packages: -# pip install pinecone-client langchain-pinecone langchain-openai -``` -``` -import os -import pinecone -fromlangchain_openai importOpenAIEmbeddings +1.

We use -PineconeVectorStore (from the LangChain Pinecone integration) to store the documents. The -add_documents(docs) call will take each Document in our list, compute its embedding using -embedding_model, and upsert the vector into the Pinecone index with the text stored as metadata -(text_key="page_content"). After running this, our documentβs content is now indexed in Pinecone as -vectors. +**Response:** +```json +{ + "answer": "Vector databases offer several key advantages...", + "context": "Retrieved context from documents...", + "plan": "This question asks about advantages. We will search for benefits and use cases...", + "sub_questions": [ + "vector database advantages", + "vector database benefits", + "vector database use cases" + ] +} ``` -Note: In a real application, you might want to chunk the text further (for example, splitting -long pages into smaller paragraphs) before embedding, to improve retrieval granularity. -LangChain offers text splitters for this. Since our example uses at most a page per chunk, we -proceed with that for simplicity. Also, remember to keep API keys secure (e.g., use -environment variables as shown, rather than hard-coding them). + +#### 2. **POST /index-pdf** - Index a PDF Document + +**Request:** +```bash +curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/index-pdf" \ + -F "file=@document.pdf" ``` -## 3. Integrating a GPT Model for Question Answering -With our knowledge document indexed in Pinecone, we can now build the **question-answering (QA) -component**. This involves using a language model (LLM) to generate answers to user queries, with the help -of the stored knowledge. The typical approach is **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)** : when a -question is asked, we retrieve the most relevant document chunks from Pinecone and feed those, along -with the question, to the GPT model to help it formulate an informed answer. +**Response:** +```json +{ + "message": "PDF indexed successfully", + "pages": 15, + "chunks": 15 +} +``` -**Retrieval:** We will use the LangChain retriever interface to fetch relevant chunks. The -PineconeVectorStore we created can be turned into a retriever. For example, +#### 3. **GET /docs** - Interactive API Documentation +Visit `http://localhost:8000/docs` for Swagger UI with interactive API testing. -vector_store.as_retriever(k=3) will allow us to retrieve the top 3 most similar chunks for any -query. +## Testing -**LLM Choice:** Weβll use **OpenAI GPT-3.5 Turbo** via LangChainβs ChatOpenAI class as our LLM. This model -(sometimes referred to as a βminiβ GPT-4) is cost-effective and sufficient for demonstration. You could swap -in a larger model (like GPT-4 or an open-source alternative) if needed, but GPT-3.5 is fast and works well for -Q&A on a single document. +### Backend Tests -**QA Chain:** LangChain provides a convenient chain type called RetrievalQA that ties a retriever and an -LLM together. It will handle taking a question, retrieving relevant text, and then asking the LLM to answer -using that text. Weβll set this up with our retriever and OpenAI model. +```bash +# Test planning agent standalone +python test_planning_agent.py -Hereβs the code to create a QA chain and perform a sample query: +# Test complete pipeline flow +python test_complete_flow.py +# Run comprehensive backend tests +python comprehensive_backend_test.py ``` -fromlangchain.chat_models importChatOpenAI -fromlangchain.chains importRetrievalQA -``` -``` -# Initialize the chat model (ensure OPENAI_API_KEY is set in the environment) -chat_model= ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", temperature=0) -``` + +### Test Cases + +**1. Simple Question** ``` -# Create a RetrievalQA chain using the chat model and our Pinecone retriever -qa_chain= RetrievalQA.from_chain_type( -llm=chat_model, -chain_type="stuff", # "stuff" means it will stuff all retrieved docs into -the prompt (simplest method) -retriever=vector_store.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"k": 3}), -return_source_documents=True # to return the source docs along with the -answer (optional) -) +Question: "What is HNSW indexing?" +Expected: 1-2 sub-questions, focused retrieval ``` + +**2. Complex Multi-Part Question** ``` -# Example query to test the QA system -query= "YOUR_QUESTION_HERE" # e.g., "What is the main idea discussed in the -document?" -result = qa_chain({"query": query}) +Question: "What are the advantages of vector databases compared + to traditional databases, and how do they handle scalability?" +Expected: 3+ sub-questions, comprehensive coverage ``` + +**3. Medium Complexity** ``` -answer = result["result"] -sources= result.get("source_documents", []) -print("Q:", query) -print("A:", answer) -ifsources: -print(f"Retrieved {len(sources)} source document(s) for reference.") +Question: "How do embeddings work in semantic search?" +Expected: 2-3 sub-questions, balanced depth ``` -**Explanation:** We create ChatOpenAI with the desired model and parameters (temperature 0 for -deterministic answers). Then we build a RetrievalQA chain with chain_type="stuff", which is a -straightforward method to send all retrieved text to the LLM. We configure the retriever to return the top 3 -chunks from our vector_store. When we call qa_chain({"query": ...}), the chain will: (a) use the +### Frontend Testing -retriever to get relevant text from Pinecone for the query, (b) feed the question and that text to the GPT -model, and (c) return the modelβs answer. We also request source_documents so we can see which parts -of the PDF were used to derive the answer (this helps with transparency and debugging). The example ends -by printing the question and answer, and optionally info about sources. +1. Open `http://localhost:8080` +2. Verify UI loads correctly +3. Test question submission +4. Check planning visualization +5. Toggle planning on/off +6. Verify statistics display -At this stage, you can experiment by asking questions about the content of your PDF and verifying that the -answers make sense. The GPT model should pull in details from the document because the retriever -supplies those details as context. +## Acceptance Criteria -## 4. Creating a Backend API for the Q&A System +- [x] Complex questions trigger visible planning step in logs +- [x] Retrieval behavior changes based on generated plan +- [x] Downstream agents (summarization, verification) work without modification +- [x] API exposes generated plan and sub-questions in response +- [x] UI displays search plan above final answer +- [x] UI shows which sub-questions were created +- [x] Flow visualization (Planning β Retrieval β Answer) +- [x] Toggle to enable/disable query planning +- [x] No errors or crashes with various question types +- [x] Performance remains acceptable (added 1-2s for planning) -To make our application accessible, we can wrap the QA chain into a simple **backend API**. This way, a user -(or another service) can send a question via an HTTP request and receive the AIβs answer. We'll use **FastAPI** -(a popular Python web framework) to create a quick API endpoint. (Alternatively, Flask could be used; -FastAPI just makes it easy to define a JSON response and test interactively.) +## UI Features -Below is a snippet showing how to set up a FastAPI server with an endpoint to answer questions. This -assumes that the qa_chain from the previous step is already created and available: +### Visual Design +- Modern gradient background (purple to violet) +- Clean, card-based layout +- Responsive design (works on mobile, tablet, desktop) +- Smooth transitions and hover effects -``` -# Install FastAPI and Uvicorn if not already: -# pip install fastapi uvicorn -``` -``` -fromfastapiimport FastAPI -frompydanticimport BaseModel -``` -``` -app= FastAPI() -``` -``` -# Define a request schema for the question -classQuestionRequest(BaseModel): -query: str -``` -``` -@app.post("/ask") -defask_question(request: QuestionRequest): -"""Endpoint to get an answer for a given question.""" -user_query = request.query -result = qa_chain({"query": user_query}) -answer = result["result"] -return {"question": user_query, "answer": answer} -``` -``` -# To run the app, use: uvicorn main:app --reload -``` -**Explanation:** We create a FastAPI app and define a POST endpoint /ask. Clients will send a JSON payload -like {"query": "Your question"}. The QuestionRequest Pydantic model enforces that structure. -In the ask_question function, we take the user_query, feed it to our qa_chain, and return the -answer in a JSON response. We include the original question and the answer in the response for clarity.

To run this API, you would use Uvicorn -as shown in the comment. Once running, any HTTP client (or a simple curl command) can hit [http://](http://) -localhost:8000/ask with a question to get answers from your knowledge base. +## Performance Metrics -This backend setup is useful for demonstration purposes β for example, you could build a simple frontend -or chatbot interface that calls this API.

"Field required: pinecone_index_name"** +```bash +# Solution: Add to .env file +PINECONE_INDEX_NAME=ikms-documents ``` -Indexing Pipeline: In a real system, you might have a pipeline that regularly processes and indexes -documents (especially if the knowledge base updates over time). This could be a scheduled job or a -separate service. The steps would include converting documents to text (as we did with the PDF -loader), splitting text into chunks, embedding those chunks, and upserting to Pinecone. For large- -scale deployments, consider using batch upsert operations and monitoring the indexing process for -errors. -``` -``` -Document Updates: If the content changes or new documents are added, youβll need to update the -Pinecone index. Pinecone supports updating or deleting vectors by ID. Keeping track of document -IDs and metadata (like timestamps or versions in the metadata) is helpful. In our simple example, we -didnβt explicitly set IDs or metadata aside from the text, but in production you might store titles, -timestamps, or source URLs in the metadata for each vector. -``` -``` -Environment & Configuration: Ensure that sensitive keys (OpenAI, Pinecone API keys) are kept out -of code (we used os.environ.get which is good practice). Also, configuration like index name, -model names, etc., could be managed via config files or environment variables for flexibility. -``` -``` -Latency and Cost: Using an embedding API and an LLM API means each question involves network -calls. In production, you might implement caching strategies for repeated questions or popular -documents. Also, if using a smaller model is sufficient (as we chose GPT-3.5 over GPT-4 for cost), -that's a trade-off between cost and performance. You could further optimize by using a local -embedding model (to avoid the overhead per embedding call) if needed. -``` + +**2. "OpenAI API key not found"** +```bash +# Solution: Set in .env file +OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here ``` -LangChain & LangGraph: With LangChain v1.0 and LangGraph, our simple chain is already quite -straightforward. For more complex applications, LangGraph provides a way to define agent -workflows and stateful interactions in a graph structure. In our case, we used a standard retrieval -QA chain (no custom agent logic). The new LangChain 1.0 APIs are more modular and scalable, -which positions us well if we later extend this app (for example, adding tools or multi-step -reasoning). The core retrieval-augmented QA pattern remains the same in LangChain v1.0 β we -create a retriever and an LLM chain to answer queries. + +**3.

Store the embeddings in Pinecone, including the -page text as metadata. -3. **QA Chain**: Set up a LangChain `RetrievalQA` chain. Use `ChatOpenAI` with -model `"gpt-3.5-turbo"` for the LLM. Use the Pinecone vector store as a -retriever (top 3 results). Ensure the chain returns the answer (and source -documents for verification). -4. **API Server**: Create a FastAPI application with an endpoint `/ask` that -accepts a JSON question and returns the answer. On each request, query the -`RetrievalQA` chain and return the answer in JSON. -5. **Testing**: Include a brief example of querying the API or chain in code to -demonstrate functionality (e.g., ask a sample question and print the answer). -6. **Good Practices**: Use environment variables for keys (OpenAI, Pinecone). -Add comments in code for clarity. Structure the code in logical sections -(loading, indexing, querying, API setup). +### Potential Improvements +- [ ] Support for multiple languages +- [ ] Voice input/output +- [ ] Export answers to PDF/Word +- [ ] Collaborative features (share sessions) +- [ ] Analytics dashboard +- [ ] A/B testing for planning strategies -``` -Now, please generate the Python code fulfilling the above requirements.
