The Backdrop
V-Sekai aims to provide immediate, AI-driven answers to community queries using a chatbot integrated with Discord.
The Challenge
How to develop an ‘Ask V-Sekai’ chatbot that utilizes Vercel serverless functions for interaction, OpenAI for natural language understanding, and Neon PostgreSQL for storing and retrieving knowledge?
The Strategy
- Design and deploy a serverless function on Vercel that interfaces with Discord to receive questions.
- Use OpenAI’s API to process natural language queries and generate responses.
- Store and retrieve chatbot training and interaction data using Neon’s PostgreSQL service, leveraging the
pgvector
extension for efficient similarity analysis. - Continuously improve the chatbot’s accuracy and response quality through data analytics and model fine-tuning.
The Upside
- Quick, accurate responses to user inquiries, enhancing the V-Sekai community experience.
- Leverage cutting-edge AI and serverless technologies for a scalable, low-overhead solution.
- Gather valuable interaction data to refine the chatbot and community support strategies.
The Downside
- Initial complexity in setting up the integration between Vercel, OpenAI, and Neon PostgreSQL.
- Ongoing maintenance and potential costs associated with OpenAI API usage.
The Road Not Taken
- Traditional FAQ systems that do not offer real-time, AI-driven interaction and learning capabilities.
The Infrequent Use Case
- Complex queries that require human intervention and are not yet within the scope of the AI’s training.
In Core and Done by Us?
- The development, deployment, and maintenance of the ‘Ask V-Sekai’ chatbot will be managed internally as a strategic tool for community engagement.
