AI Chatbot with AWS Knowledge Base
Streamlining engineering best practices access with an AI-driven Slack chatbot powered by AWS Bedrock and Pinecone
Executive Summary
AppEvolve, a leading mobile and web development firm, wanted to streamline their engineers' access to the latest best practices and standards. Engineers often spent valuable time navigating Notion to find necessary details, detracting from their development work.
Forth Clover implemented a cutting-edge solution leveraging AWS Knowledge Bases, AWS Bedrock, and Pinecone. This AI-driven chatbot was seamlessly integrated into Slack, enabling engineers to interact naturally with company data stored in S3, fetched directly from Notion.
The Challenge
AppEvolve's engineering team encountered hurdles in efficiently accessing up-to-date company best practices and engineering documentation. The manual process of combing through Notion for specific information proved to be a drain on time, affecting productivity and innovation.
Key Pain Points:
- Time-consuming manual searches through Notion documentation
- Frustration with finding specific technical standards
- Need for conversational interface to query best practices
- Requirement for real-time access to updated documentation
The Solution
Technical Architecture
- • AWS Bedrock for LLM inference and natural language processing
- • AWS Knowledge Bases for RAG implementation
- • Pinecone vector database for efficient similarity search
- • Lambda functions for serverless compute
- • S3 for document storage
- • Slack API integration for seamless user experience
Key Features
- • Natural language queries directly in Slack
- • Automatic nightly synchronization from Notion
- • Context-aware responses based on engineering standards
- • Fast response times with vector similarity search
- • Secure access control and data encryption
Implementation Process
Data Pipeline
Automated pipeline fetches data from Notion, processes it, and stores in S3. Nightly updates ensure documentation is always current.
Vector Embeddings
Documents are converted to vector embeddings and stored in Pinecone for efficient semantic search capabilities.
RAG Implementation
AWS Knowledge Bases retrieves relevant context, which Bedrock uses to generate accurate, contextual responses.
Slack Integration
Seamless integration allows engineers to ask questions naturally without leaving their workflow.
Results & Benefits
The implementation has led to improvements in efficiency and productivity. Engineers can now access the most current best practices and documentation in seconds, directly within Slack. Instead of searching Notion, engineers simply ask a question to the bot in Slack, which searches documentation and provides a relevant answer.
Key Benefits
- • Increased Efficiency: Engineers save time with quick access
- • Improved Accuracy: Automatic updates ensure current data
- • Enhanced Collaboration: Shared knowledge access
- • Scalability: Grows with company and data
Impact Metrics
- • 60% reduction in documentation search time
- • Seconds vs minutes for information retrieval
- • 100% adoption rate among engineering team
- • Zero downtime with serverless architecture
