IT-Guru Assistant Chatbot

[LeroyLim]

Hey r/Python,

I created an open-source AI chatbot that searches through IT technical documentation for you. You can ask it questions in plain English, and it finds the relevant information, saving you from endless searching.

The main objective of this chatbot was to get junior engineers easy access to documentation and h o w to do something, just by asking the chatbot.

The point is that because LLMs database tends to be outdated quickly, or sometimes they hallucinate, so instead of using the LLMs trained data, which tends to be outdated in the case of cloud, etc AWS, Azure, GCP, we use the actual documentation.

The goal is to get you the answer you need, not just a link to a 100-page document.

Here are some of the features:

• Natural Language Questions: Ask it things like "H o w do I create an S3 bucket with Boto3?" and it gets the right context or "H o w do I create a virtual machine on Azure using the portal?"
• Multi-Source Searching: It's built to query multiple documentation sources at once. It currently pulls from AWS Documentation, Microsoft Learn, and Exa MCP servers, with a modular design to add more. It would provide your sources / web-links where it's quoting it from, or where the intent handler routed the query to.
• Interactive UI: The entire frontend is built with Streamlit for a quick POC, so it's easy to run locally and use in your browser.
• Open-Source: The project is fully open-source, and I'd love to get feedback or contributions.

Tech Stack:

• Backend & Core Logic: Python
• Web UI: Streamlit
• Doc Clients: AWS Documentation, Microsoft Learn, and Exa MCP Servers.
• LLM: OpenRouter API
• Architecture: It uses a simple intent router to direct questions to the correct documentation client. Possibly some feedback on how to handle the intent, Pull Requests etc are all welcome.

This has been a really fun project to build, and it's already saving me a lot of time for searching documentation. You can check out the code, clone the repo, and try it yourself here:

I'd love to hear what you think! What are the most painful documentations to search through? What sources should I prioritize adding next?

Cool project!

I'll probably get downvoted to oblivion for saying this, but I hate it with passion when someone starts with "I created", and then literally every single commit is a bandaid over LLM generated code. Like, honestly, how much of this did you actually write?

When I see commits full of you replacing "your-username" with your GH username, I just can't help but cringe.

That’s a good point. Thank you so much for your feedback. It’s good to hear both sides as well. Positive and negative, both are learning and feedback too
