Released under **Rihone AI Labs**, for quick prototyping and experimentation with AI Chat applications.\n\n[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)](./LICENSE)\n\n[Live Demo](https://restchat-production.up.railway.app/)\n\n[Deploy To Azure]()\n\n[Deploy To AWS]()\n\n![Preview screenshot](./docs/screenshot.png)\n\n## Features\n\n- Integration with top 5 AI model providers, inlcuding:\n   - [ x ] [OpenAI](https://openai.com/) / [Azure OpenAI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/overview)\n   - [ x ] [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/)\n   - [ x ] [Google AI](https://www.gemini.com/)\n   - [   ] [AWS Bedrock](https://www.gemini.com/)\n   - [   ] [Huggingface](https://www.gemini.com/)\n- Support multiple chat profiles including\n   - [ x ] LLM Chat\n   - [ x ] Text to Image\n   - [ ] Multimodal Chat (`WIP`)\n   - [ ] Voice Chat (`WIP`)\n   - [ ] [Experimental] Text to Media - Music or Video (`WIP`)\n- Chainlit Chat settings\n- Chainlit Authentication\n- Chainlit Custom logo and favicon\n- Chainlit Custom theme\n\n## Running Locally\n\n### Installation\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/rihoneailabs/restchat.git\n   cd restchat\n   ```\n\n2. Create a python virtual environment:\n\n   ```bash\n   python -m venv venv         # We assume you are using at least Python 3.11\n   source venv/bin/activate    # For Unix-based systems i.e. MacOS, Ubuntu etc.\n   venv\\Scripts\\activate.bat   # For Windows\n   ```\n\n3. Install python dependencies:\n\n   ```bash\n   pip install -r requirements.txt\n   pip install -U --prefer-binary tokenizers anthropic\n\n   # Tip: If you have poetry installed, use it instead:\n   # poetry install\n   ```\n\n\u003e **Hint:** If you encounter an error when installing `tokenizers` which is a sub-depenency of the `anthropic` package, you will need to \nexplictly tell `pip` to install a pre-build binary instead of building from source: `pip install -U --prefer-binary tokenizers anthropic`\n\n\n### Configuration\n\n1. Rename the provided `.env.example` file into `.env` in the project root directory.\n\n2. Modify the `.env` file by setting the required configuration variables as follows:\n\n   ```bash\n   CHAINLIT_AUTH_SECRET=your_64_char_secret_for_signing_auth_tokens\n   LITERAL_API_KEY=your_literal_api_key_for_storing_chat_history\n   \n   # Optional: At least one of the following chat providers is required\n   OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key\n   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key\n   GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key\n   \n   # Optional\n   DEFAULT_USERNAME=your_default_username  # Default: \"admin\"\n   DEFAULT_USER_PASSWORD=your_default_user_password\n\n   # Recommended: OAuth settings (see https://docs.chainlit.io/authentication/oauth)\n   OAUTH_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_google_client_id\n   OAUTH_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_google_client_secret\n   ```\n\n    \u003e **Hints:** You can generate a 64-character secret key using the following command: `chainlit create-secret`. To\n    \u003e obtain an API key for [Literal](https://literal.chainlit.com), sign up for an account and create a new project.\n\n### Run web app\n\nTo run the Chainlit app, use the following command:\n\n```bash\nchainlit run app.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5500\n```\n\n* You app should now be accessible at `http://localhost:5500`\n\n## Project Structure\n\nThe project structure is organized as follows:\n\n- `.chainlit/`: Contains the Chainlit configuration files.\n- `restchat/`: Contains the core application code.\n- `public/`: Contains the static files for custom logos and favicons.\n- `app.py`: The main application entry point.\n- `requirements.txt`: Lists the project dependencies.\n- `.env.example`: Stores the environment variables template.\n\n## Issues\n\n- Bugs and issues can be reported on the [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/rihoneailabs/restchat/issues) page.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.
