Development

The project follows a modular structure:

• api/: Contains the main controller that handles input processing and orchestrates the search and inference process
• core/: Contains the core business logic split into different domains:
  • inference/: Handles AI inference using OpenAI's API
  • pdf/: Handles PDF document processing with multiple backend options
  • search/: Handles web searching using Bing's API
• utils/: Contains utility functions, currently focused on Redis caching
• web/: Contains web interfaces implemented in both Flask and Dash

Dependencies

• Flask/Dash for web interfaces
• BeautifulSoup4 for web scraping
• PyPDF2, pdfminer, pdfplumber, pymupdf for PDF processing
• Redis for caching
• aiohttp for async HTTP requests
• OpenAI API for inference
• Bing Web Search API for search
