Popis: In the digital age, the dynamics of customer service are evolving, driven by technological advancements and the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs). This research paper introduces a groundbreaking approach to automating customer service using LangChain, a custom LLM tailored for organizations. The paper explores the obsolescence of traditional customer support techniques, particularly Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and proposes a paradigm shift towards responsive, context-aware, and personalized customer interactions. The heart of this innovation lies in the fusion of open-source methodologies, web scraping, fine-tuning, and the seamless integration of LangChain into customer service platforms. This open-source state-of-the-art framework, presented as "Sahaay," demonstrates the ability to scale across industries and organizations, offering real-time support and query resolution. Key elements of this research encompass data collection via web scraping, the role of embeddings, the utilization of Google's Flan T5 XXL, Base and Small language models for knowledge retrieval, and the integration of the chatbot into customer service platforms. The results section provides insights into their performance and use cases, here particularly within an educational institution. This research heralds a new era in customer service, where technology is harnessed to create efficient, personalized, and responsive interactions. Sahaay, powered by LangChain, redefines the customer-company relationship, elevating customer retention, value extraction, and brand image. As organizations embrace LLMs, customer service becomes a dynamic and customer-centric ecosystem.
