Real-Time Voice Meets RAG: Building a Domain-Specific AI Chatbot

SMRTR summary

Sociopal is a voice-based chatbot that answers sociology questions using a domain-trained RAG agent. It uses AssemblyAI for speech-to-text, ElevenLabs for text-to-speech, and a backend powered by LangGraph and ChromaDB. The chatbot can search the web when it doesn't have an answer in its database. Users ask questions verbally, and the app provides spoken and written responses. While currently focused on sociology, the system is adaptable to other domains by swapping out the vector database content.
