Features

1. Dynamic Knowledge Base (FAISS-powered Retrieval System)

• Finny stores a knowledge base of predefined loan-related information using the FAISS (Facebook AI Similarity Search) vector store.
• How it works:
  • When a user asks a question, the system searches the most relevant answer from the knowledge base.
  • If an answer is found, it is displayed instantly.
  • If no answer is found, Finny intelligently learns the new query over time and expands its knowledge base.

2. AI-Powered Chatbot (Google Gemini AI Integration)

• If a user asks a question not covered in the knowledge base, Finny will generate a response using Google Gemini AI.
• How it works:
  • The chatbot sends the question to Google Gemini AI.
  • The AI generates an accurate, context-aware response.
  • This ensures Finny is always up-to-date with the latest information.

3. Speech-to-Text (STT) & Text-to-Speech (TTS) with Sarvam API

• Finny integrates Sarvam AI's advanced STT and TTS APIs to provide speech-based interaction.
• Sarvam AI is a leader in voice AI technology, offering highly accurate speech recognition and natural-sounding text-to-speech conversion.
• How it works:
  • Users can upload voice recordings, which are transcribed into text using Sarvam AI’s STT API.
  • Finny processes the text, generates a response, and converts it back to speech using Sarvam AI’s TTS API.
  • This allows users to communicate with Finny hands-free.
• Why Sarvam AI?
  • Offers multi-language support for voice processing.
  • High accuracy and speed in transcription and synthesis.
  • Ensures a seamless user experience with natural-sounding AI-generated voice.

4. Question Tracking & Automatic Learning

• Finny keeps track of frequently asked questions.
• If a question is asked 5 or more times, it is automatically added to the knowledge base.
• This helps Finny continuously learn and improve without manual updates.

5. Real-time Chat UI with Streamlit

• Finny provides a smooth, interactive chat experience using Streamlit.
• How it works:
  • The chatbot interface is built using Streamlit chat components.
  • Messages are displayed in separate user and assistant chat bubbles.
  • Users can type their questions and receive instant responses.
