I would like to create a chatbot that is an expert on a specific topic. For example, an Unreal Engine expert. I want to do this by providing the URL to the Unreal Engine documentation, and ideally, the bot would process the information found there. After that, I could ask it questions on the given topic.
Is this possible today? If not, what alternative solutions are there?

Hi @vale raptor. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, it is possible to create a chatbot that can answer questions about a specific topic by processing information from a specific website. However, it's important to note that GPT models, like the ones developed by OpenAI, do not have the ability to directly access or read from the internet, including specific URLs.

Here's a general approach you could take:

  1. Web Scraping: You would first need to scrape the information from the Unreal Engine documentation website. Python libraries like BeautifulSoup4 can be used for this purpose.

  2. Data Processing: After scraping the website, you would need to clean and organize the data. This could involve removing unnecessary HTML tags, scripts, and other non-relevant content.

  3. Embedding: You can then turn the cleaned data into embeddings using the Embeddings API (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/embeddings) provided by OpenAI. This process involves converting the text data into a numerical format that can be understood by the AI model.

  4. Question Answering: Once you have the embeddings, you can create a search functionality that allows a user to ask questions about the embedded information. The AI model can then search through the embeddings to find the most relevant information to answer the user's question.

For a more detailed guide on how to build an AI that can answer questions about a specific website, you can refer to this OpenAI tutorial (https://platform.openai.com/docs/tutorials/web-qa-embeddings/how-to-build-an-ai-that-can-answer-questions-about-your-website).

Please note that this approach requires a good understanding of web scraping, data processing, and AI models. Also, be aware of the legal and ethical considerations when scraping a website. Always make sure that you have the necessary permissions to scrape and use the data from the website.
