About the customer

Our client is an online community of gas stations across the United States, connecting vendors, service providers, industry experts and online stores. Its goal is to help gas station owners work more efficiently, simplify processes and maximize profits. We built an AI chatbot using OpenAI’s large language models (LLMs) to answer user questions about the standard documents for operating and troubleshooting gas station equipment.

What needed solving

Language barriers

A significant portion of the US gas station workforce comes from non-English-speaking countries and has limited education

Hard-to-follow guides

Standard procedures and troubleshooting guides were hard for them to understand and follow

Answers on the job

Workers needed accurate, easy-to-understand information quickly, during their daily tasks

How we built it

01

Answers grounded in documents

A RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipeline gives the LLM the relevant context from the documents, so answers are accurate and concise.

02

Knowledge base

About 100 documents, including user manuals, troubleshooting guides and registration manuals.

03

AI models and tools

OpenAI GPT models, with LangChain and LlamaIndex connecting the models to the documents stored in a vector database.

04

Application and hosting

Python and Flask power the application’s API, hosted on AWS (Amazon EC2), with PostgreSQL and MongoDB storing the data.

05

Mobile app integration

The chatbot is built into the client’s mobile app.
