How to Add RAG-Based AI to Team Chat With Stream
Blog post from Stream
The text discusses a project aimed at enhancing Stream AI integration by introducing multiuser functionality and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) from PDF uploads. This initiative seeks to transform AI chats from a one-on-one experience into a collaborative team tool where members can interact with AI simultaneously, fostering shared knowledge and efficient problem-solving. The text explains the technical steps involved in implementing these features, such as extending React and Node.js components to support dynamic user identification and PDF file uploads, which are processed to provide AI with specific contextual information. By incorporating a RAGService, the AI can retrieve relevant context from PDF document embeddings stored in Pinecone, thus enabling more accurate and contextual responses during team chats. The text suggests potential future enhancements, including expanding data inputs and integrating AI with internal systems to automate tasks, thereby positioning AI as an active team member.
