Document Chatbot

Document-ingestion and Q&A experiment split into a .NET backend/frontend stack with extra Python bridge code.

Project Status

This repository is being open sourced as-is. It may or may not be in working condition. Most of the work here came from vibe-coding experiments by an engineer with very little coding experience, so expect rough edges, stale setup instructions, and partial features.

Main Pieces

• Backend/: ASP.NET backend
• Frontend/: ASP.NET frontend
• chroma_bridge.py: Python bridge/helper
• DocumentChatbot.sln: solution entrypoint

Local Run

Requirements:

• .NET 9 SDK
• Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code with C# tooling
• Python 3.11+ if you intend to use the Python bridge helpers

Commands:

cd Backend
dotnet run

In a second terminal:

cd Frontend
dotnet run

You can also open DocumentChatbot.sln in Visual Studio and run the projects from there.

Notes

• This repo appears to be an early-stage experiment rather than a finished product.
• Sample data folders and helper scripts are preserved for context, not as a guarantee of a clean local boot.
