Utils Module for Common Functions

The utils.py file in the project serves as a utility module containing common functions utilized throughout the application. It includes functions for writing to and reading from a file to store chat history, as well as providing a system prompt for the chatbot.

import streamlit as st


def write_to_file(user_input, chatbot_response, file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'a') as file:
        file.write(f"User: {user_input}\n")
        file.write(f"Chatbot: {chatbot_response}\n")
        file.write("\n")


def read_chat_history(file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
        return file.readlines()


def system_prompt():
    sys_prompt = """
        Your name is Eva.
        You are the Manager at Gourmet Delight restaurant.
        You represent the Gourmet Delight restaurant.
        Output Length: Keep your answers less than 30 words so that it sounds more natural chat.
        Your Persona: Eva is a middle-aged woman born in the US. She is friendly, with a great sense of humor that is understated and professional, but she understands that making people comfortable includes using humor.
    """


    return str(sys_prompt)

Entry Point for the Application (app.py)

The app.py file defines the main functionality of the Restaurant-Reservations app using Streamlit. It sets up a temporary directory for storing chat history, configures the OpenAI API key, and defines functions for handling chatbot and voice interactions.

from utils import utils
import streamlit as st
from lyzr import ChatBot, VoiceBot
import os
from PIL import Image
from pathlib import Path
from dotenv import load_dotenv; load_dotenv()
from audio_recorder_streamlit import audio_recorder


tempDir = 'tempDir'
if not os.path.exists(tempDir):
    os.makedirs(tempDir)


file = 'responses.txt'


# setting up the OpenAI API Key
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = os.getenv('OPENAI_API_KEY')


#  ChatBot
def chatagent():
    chatbot = ChatBot.pdf_chat(
        input_files=[Path('./data/restaurant data.pdf')], system_prompt=utils.system_prompt(),
    )
    return chatbot


# Voice bot
def voiceagent(audio_bytes):
    voice = VoiceBot()
    if audio_bytes:
        st.audio(audio_bytes, format="audio/wav")
        # Save the recorded audio for transcription
        with open('tempDir/output.wav', 'wb') as f:
            f.write(audio_bytes)
        audiopath = 'tempDir/output.wav'
        if audiopath:
            user_input = voice.transcribe(audiofilepath='tempDir/output.wav')
            # st.write(user_input)

        chatbot = chatagent()
        response = chatbot.chat(user_input)
        voice.text_to_speech(response.response)
        utils.write_to_file(user_input=user_input, chatbot_response=response.response, file_path=file)
        # st.text(response.response)
        tts_audio_file = 'tts_output.mp3'
        if os.path.isfile(tts_audio_file):
            st.audio(tts_audio_file, format='audio/mp3', start_time=0)

    else:
        st.warning('Record your audio to start the conversation')


def delete_conversation():
        os.remove('tts_output.mp3')
        os.remove(file)
        st.warning('Record your audio to start the conversation')

        if st.button('Delete Conversation'):
            delete_conversation()

    if os.path.exists(file):
        chat_history = utils.read_chat_history(file_path=file)
        st.sidebar.subheader("Conversation History")
