DanswerAI

Open source question-answering system

Ask questions in natural language and get back answers backed by private sources such as Slack, GitHub, Confluence, etc.

[DanswerAI @DanswerAI]

We have a stable and reliable AI product, backed by a $1 million investment from YC.

However, I think it's time for us to take it a step further.

For example, we could participate in a hackathon and develop something that’s more Crypto Native. Danswer ALL IN Crypto + AI 2025

构建基于文档的生产级 RAG 聊天系统
@DanswerAI x @UnstructuredIO

文章展示了如何将 Unstructured 的文档处理能力无缝集成到 Danswer 开源 AI 助手系统中，从而显著增强了系统处理各种文档格式的能力。

通过详细介绍集成步骤和提供代码示例，文章不仅为开发者提供了实用的技术指导，还展示了如何快速改进现有 AI 系统以应对企业文档管理的挑战。

这种集成方法突出了开源工具和 API 在构建灵活、强大的企业级 AI 解决方案中的重要性，同时也反映了 RAG 技术正从实验阶段向生产环境过渡的行业趋势，为企业提供了一种高效、可扩展的方式来实现基于文档的智能对话系统。

背景介绍
- RAG 技术正从试点阶段迈向生产应用。
- Danswer 是一个开源 AI 助手，可以与企业文档进行对话。
- Unstructured 是一个处理非结构化数据的工具。

集成目的
- 通过 Unstructured 的 Serverless API 处理 Google Drive 中保存的文档。
- 增强原有文档提取实现的效果。

集成步骤 (5 个主要步骤)
a) 添加新函数到文件处理模块
- 设置 SDK 分区请求
- 实现 read_any_file 函数，通过 Unstructured API 读取文件
b) 更新 Google Drive 连接器
- 修改 extract_text 函数，使用新的 read_any_file 函数
- 支持 PDF, PPT, Excel, Word 等文件格式
c) 更新依赖要求
- 修改 requirements 文件，确保兼容性
d) 更新 Dockerfile
- 添加 Unstructured 库的额外依赖
e) 更新 Docker Compose 配置
- 添加 Unstructured API 密钥环境变量

Started a podcast series with YC founders from my batch to discuss GTM strategies! First episode is a 20-min chat with @Yuhong_S from @DanswerAI. Thinking of recording the journey of these companies every 6 months—maybe a future documentary in the making! Episode link in comments. 👉
