Applied build — internal engineering work

This is internal engineering and R&D work, not a client project. It is published to show technical depth — the modelling, evaluation, and tooling behind the AI automation we build for clients. No client is associated with it.

An intelligent chatbot that answers user questions about an uploaded PDF using semantic search and language understanding. It applies a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline — retrieving relevant document chunks and providing them to LLaMA-2 — so answers stay grounded in the original content.

Tools & methods

  • LLaMA-2 (7B)
  • LangChain
  • ChromaDB
  • Hugging Face
  • Sentence-Transformer embeddings
Full technical report

Objectives

  • Build a domain-agnostic chatbot for querying PDFs.
  • Use RAG to ground responses and minimize hallucination.
  • Provide relevant context and accurate, grounded answers.

Process

  • Parse and chunk the uploaded PDF; embed chunks and store in ChromaDB.
  • On a question, embed the query and retrieve the most relevant chunks (semantic search).
  • Feed retrieved context + question to LLaMA-2 to generate a grounded answer.
  • Wrap in an upload → ask → history UI with secure accounts.

Results

  • Accurate, context-grounded answers drawn directly from the source PDF.
  • Clean account, upload, chat and history interface.

What we took from it

  • Chunking strategy and embeddings drive retrieval quality.
  • Prompt templates and grounded context are key to reducing hallucination.
