InsureBot

InsureBot is an AI-powered insurance assistant that enables voice-based interactions, document search, and intelligent responses for insurance-related queries. The system features a Python backend (FastAPI, Rasa, custom services) and a modern React frontend.

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or higher
• Docker
• SarvamAI API key (for TTS and STT)
• Gemini API key (for LLM)

Features

• Voice chat assistant with real-time speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS)
• Rasa-based NLP and chat orchestration
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for knowledge base-grounded responses
• End-to-end audio pipeline for seamless voice interaction

Installation & Setup

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/HarshitR2004/InsureBot.git
cd InsureBot

2. Set Up Environment Variables

Create .env files in the respective directories:

# TTS and STT/.env
YOUR_SARVAM_API_KEY=sk_your_actual_key_here

# Project root .env
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_key_here

3. Docker Deployment (Required)

Note: Docker is the only supported method to run InsureBot. All services must be started using Docker containers.

Run Weaviate (Vector Database)

docker run -d --name weaviate -p 8080:8080 \
  -e QUERY_DEFAULTS_LIMIT=100 \
  -e AUTHENTICATION_ANONYMOUS_ACCESS_ENABLED=true \
  -e PERSISTENCE_DATA_PATH="./data" \
  semitechnologies/weaviate:latest

Run TTS Service

cd TTS
docker build -t insurebot-tts .
docker run -d -p 5050:5050 --env-file .env --name tts-service insurebot-tts

Run ASR Service

cd ASR
docker build -t insurebot-asr .
docker run -d -p 3001:3001 --name asr-service insurebot-asr

Start All Services

Install Python dependencies first:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then use the start.bat script from the project root to start all backend services:

start.bat

Usage

• Ensure all backend services and the frontend are running.
• Open the frontend in your browser.
• Use the voice chat interface to interact with InsureBot.
