NEW AI Framework - Steerable Chatbots with Semantic Router



AI Summary

Summary: Introduction to Semantic Router

  • Overview of Semantic Router
    • A tool for building AI assistants and dialogue systems.
    • Acts as a fast, deterministic decision-making layer for natural language processing.
    • Provides a list of queries that trigger specific responses or actions.
    • Utilizes a semantic vector space for response determination.
  • Getting Started with Semantic Router
    • Repository: orelo Labs semantic router.
    • Installation: Version 0.0.4, open source for contributions.
    • Google Colab integration requires session restart after installation.
  • Defining Routes
    • Example routes: “politics” to prevent certain discussions, “chitchat” for casual conversation.
    • Initialization of an embedding model using either Cohere or OpenAI.
    • API key required for model initialization.
  • Route Layer
    • Contains different routes for decision-making.
    • Two types: standard route layer (semantic search) and hybrid route layer (semantic and term-based vector space).
  • Testing Routes
    • Example queries trigger appropriate routes (e.g., politics, chitchat).
    • Static and dynamic routes demonstrated.
    • If-else logic used to generate responses based on route choice.
  • Integration with AI Agents
    • Example of a personal trainer agent with brand affiliation.
    • Semantic router augments queries with additional context or suggestions.
    • Demonstrates the ability to protect against certain queries and function calling without slow processing.
  • Advantages of Semantic Router
    • Combines the power of agent-based systems with the speed of naive retrieval.
    • Enhances AI behavior for production-ready applications.
  • Future Developments
    • Dynamic routing, hybrid layer, and other features in progress.
    • Encouragement for community contributions and feedback.
  • Conclusion
    • The semantic router is a significant development for AI dialogue systems.
    • The creator is excited about its potential and plans to release more instructional content.
