Welcome to our tutorial on creating a Python application that allows users to load a CSV file and inquire about its contents using natural language. This innovative application harnesses the power of Language Models (LLMs) to generate precise responses based solely on the data within your CSV files. Let’s dive into building your very own Chat-CSV application!
How It Works
The Chat-CSV application operates by reading and processing a CSV file to answer your questions. It combines the capabilities of OpenAI LLMs with Langchain Agents to find answers related to the CSV data. Here’s an analogy to help you understand how this process unfolds:
Imagine your CSV file as a well-organized library filled with books, where each book represents a row of data. The LLM acts as a knowledgeable librarian who can quickly retrieve information from the library. When you ask a question, the librarian searches through the books (CSV data) only to provide you with responses that are relevant to what is stored on those shelves.
Installation
To get started with this application, follow these simple installation steps:
- Clone this repository to your local machine.
- Install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:
- You’ll need to obtain an OpenAI API key and add it to the .env file.
pip install -r requirements.txtUsage
Once you have everything set up, using the application is straightforward:
- Execute the main.py file using the Streamlit command-line interface (CLI).
- Ensure you have Streamlit installed. If you haven’t, you can install it using pip.
- Run the following command in your terminal:
streamlit run main.pyTroubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during installation or usage, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Ensure that you have Python installed on your machine and that all dependencies are correctly set up.
- Double-check that your OpenAI API key is correctly added to the .env file.
- If Streamlit fails to launch, verify that it’s installed and try restarting your terminal.
