🤖 Hello, Yes, you can use a chat engine with Streamlit in the LlamaIndex framework. The LlamaIndex framework provides several chat engines, including Here is a basic example of how you might set up the import streamlit as st
from llama_index.chat_engine.simple import SimpleChatEngine
from llama_index.llms.base import LLM, ChatMessage
from llama_index.memory import BaseMemory
# Initialize the chat engine
llm = LLM() # Replace with your LLM
memory = BaseMemory() # Replace with your memory
prefix_messages = [ChatMessage(content="Hello", role="system")] # Replace with your prefix messages
chat_engine = SimpleChatEngine(llm, memory, prefix_messages)
# Create a text input for the user to enter their question
user_input = st.text_input("Enter your question:")
# Use the chat engine to generate a response to the user's question
response = chat_engine.chat(user_input)
# Display the chat engine's response
st.write(response.response) This code creates a Streamlit application where the user can enter a question into a text input. The In the context shared, it's also worth noting that the LlamaIndex framework supports both synchronous and asynchronous chat interfaces, as well as streaming chat responses. This can be useful for handling more complex chat scenarios or for improving performance in certain situations. The context shared also shows that the Please note that you will need to replace I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Best, Sources

@dosu-beta I tried implementing something that uses an index, but I would like you to point out what is wrong.

🤖 Hello, Thank you for sharing your code. It's well-structured and you've done a good job of integrating the LlamaIndex framework into your Streamlit application. However, there are a few areas where you could make improvements:
if not isinstance(service_context.llm_predictor, LLMPredictor):
raise ValueError(f"llm_predictor must be a LLMPredictor instance, not {type(service_context.llm_predictor)}")
def prepare_chat(self, message: str, chat_history: Optional[List[ChatMessage]] = None) -> List[ChatMessage]:
if chat_history is not None:
self._memory.set(chat_history)
self._memory.put(ChatMessage(content=message, role="user"))
return self._prefix_messages + self._memory.get()
I hope these suggestions help you improve your code. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Best, Sources

🤖 Hello, Based on the code you've shared, it seems like your chatbot is unable to answer questions about the index because it's operating in "condense_question" mode. In this mode, the chatbot generates a standalone question from the conversation context and the last message, then queries the query engine with the condensed question for a response. This approach works for questions directly related to the knowledge base, but it always queries the knowledge base, which can cause difficulty in answering meta questions like "what did I ask you before?" or questions about the index itself. As for error handling, it should be implemented in the methods where the chatbot interacts with the For example, in the def chat(self, message: str):
try:
response = self.chat_engine.chat(message)
return response
except Exception as e:
# Handle or log the error here
print(f"Error occurred: {e}") This will catch any exceptions that occur during the response generation process, allowing you to handle them appropriately. In the context shared, the I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Best, Sources

@dosu-bot I'm not particularly particular about the chat engine, so if there's another way to create an answer based on the contents of the index and the conversation context, I'd like to implement it that way. |

# Initialize the chat engine
chat_engine = ContextChatEngine(

llm=llm,
memory=memory,
prefix_messages=prefix_messages,
)
# Use the chat method
message = "Your message here"
chat_history = [ChatMessage(role="user", content="Previous message")] # Replace with your actual chat history
response = chat_engine.chat(message, chat_history)
print(response) Please replace the placeholders with your actual components. The You can find more details about the To handle meta questions and questions about the index itself, you can modify the def handle_meta_question(self, message: str) -> Optional[AgentChatResponse]:

@dosu-bot In the case of VectorStoreIndex, if it is necessary to create a VectorStoreIndex chat engine with the as_chat_engine method, does that mean that ContextChatEngine cannot be used? |

🤖 Hi there, The error you're encountering is due to the fact that the To resolve this issue, you need to create a subclass of from llama_index.indices.base_retriever import BaseRetriever
from llama_index.query_bundle import QueryBundle
from llama_index.node_with_score import NodeWithScore
from typing import List
class MyRetriever(BaseRetriever):
def __init__(self, index):
self._index = index
def _retrieve(self, query_bundle: QueryBundle) -> List[NodeWithScore]:
# Implement your retrieval logic here
pass In this example, You can then pass an instance of my_retriever = MyRetriever(index)
context_chat_engine = ContextChatEngine.from_defaults(
retriever=my_retriever,

Question Validation
Question
Currently, the system uses a query engine to create answers, but I would like to create answers that also reflect the contents of the conversation history.
I'm thinking of using a chat engine for that, but is it possible to use a chat engine with streamlit?
There is no such usage in the usage pattern of llamaindex, so I don't know how to set it up.
The following is what I am currently creating with the query engine.
