🤖 LeoBot — AI Chat Assistant for Businesses & Users

LeoBot is a FastAPI-based AI chatbot platform for intelligent, real-time conversations across multiple channels — including websites, Facebook Messenger, and Zalo Official Accounts. It integrates seamlessly with LEO CDP (Customer Data Platform) to serve both admins and end-users, delivering contextual, personalized answers powered by RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and advanced AI models like Google Gemini.

🧩 Key Components

RAGAgent

Handles message understanding, context retrieval, and Gemini-based response generation.

Webhooks

• /fb-webhook — Facebook Messenger
• /zalo-webhook — Zalo Official Account

Redis Rate Limiting

Uses a sorted-set time window to prevent excessive messaging per user.

🛠️ Setup and Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/trieu/leo-bot
cd leo-bot

2. Start PostgreSQL + pgvector (via Docker)

Make sure Docker CLI is installed:

docker --version

Then start the database:

./start_pgsql_pgvector.sh

This script:

• Launches a PostgreSQL 16 container (pgsql16_vector)
• Mounts a persistent volume (pgdata_vector)
• Enables pgvector and postgis extensions
• Creates the customer360 database and schema
• Handles collation version fixes automatically

To reset the database, run:

./start_pgsql_pgvector.sh --reset-db

You can connect manually:

psql -h localhost -U postgres -d customer360

3. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Configure Environment

Create a .env file or edit main_config.py:

LEOBOT_DEV_MODE=false
HOSTNAME=leobot.example.com
POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://postgres:password@localhost:5432/customer360

GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=your_credentials.json
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key

REDIS_USER_SESSION_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_USER_SESSION_PORT=6480

FB_VERIFY_TOKEN=
FB_PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_facebook_access_token
ZALO_OA_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_zalo_access_token

Gemini API setup:

• Get your API key at Google AI Studio
• For translation and related APIs, set up credentials in the Google Cloud Console

---

5. Python Environment (Ubuntu Example)

sudo apt install python-is-python3 python3.10-venv
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

After installation, refresh your shell.
