RAGTime – A RAG-Powered Bot for Slack and Discord

RAGTime is an open-source bot designed for Slack and Discord that facilitates user interaction by responding to queries through Vectara's RAG platform. The bot, which can be integrated into servers, offers personalized one-to-one chats, the ability to ask questions by mentioning the bot, and maintains conversation context in threads. Built using Python and SQLite, RAGTime manages workflows and responds to direct messages or mentions by sending user queries to Vectara's Query API for precise answers. To implement RAGTime, users need to sign up for Vectara, create and ingest data into a corpus, and follow setup instructions for running the bot on a server. The developers encourage feedback for further improvements and provide a demonstration through their community Discord server, showcasing the bot's capability to answer questions based on Vectara's content.
