Darshan Hiranandani : Implementing Website Search Functionality for Custom Chatbots Using RAG

Yes, it’s possible to replicate a “domain search” feature similar to HuggingChat by using a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approach. You can crawl or connect to data from a website URL using web scraping or APIs. Tools like BeautifulSoup and Scrapy for web scraping, or langchain for integrating external data sources into language models, can help with this. You can extract relevant information from the site, index it, and use it to enhance your chatbot’s responses. For RAG, combining a search index (like FAISS or ElasticSearch) with a language model (such as GPT) allows the chatbot to retrieve contextually relevant information before generating responses.
