Ever wished you could just ask your database a question and get an instant answer? 🤯 No more complex queries or wrestling with spreadsheets! This is your guide to building a simple AI-powered chatbot that unlocks the secrets hidden within your data. 🕵️♀️
🗝️ Why This Matters: Data is Power, Access it Easily!
We live in a data-driven world. 📈 Businesses and individuals alike are swimming in information. But raw data is useless unless you can understand and act on it. This AI chatbot acts like a personal data analyst, ready to answer your questions 24/7.
🏗️ Building Your AI-Powered Database Chatbot: A Step-by-Step Approach
We’ll be using three powerful tools:
- Agentive: Our AI agent platform (free to use!)
- Relevance AI: For connecting our agent to the database
- Supabase: A user-friendly database platform
1. Setting Up Your Database with Supabase:
- Create a free Supabase account: https://supabase.com
- Start a new project: Name it “Chat to DB Agent” (or something catchy!)
- Create a table called “events”:
- Disable row-level security (for now).
- Add these columns (exactly as shown): name (text), datetime (timestamp), venue (text), genre (text), description (text), event link (text).
- Populate your database: Copy and paste the sample event data provided in the resources section of the school community post.
2. Building the Brain: Your Agentive AI Agent
- Sign up for a free Agentive account: https://b.link/37m90f7o
- Clone the “Event Genie Sydney” template: This pre-built template will save you tons of time!
- Add your OpenAI API key: You’ll need an API key from OpenAI to use Agentive.
3. Connecting the Dots with Relevance AI
- Create a free Relevance AI account: https://app.relevanceai.com/?referrer=AAA
- Clone the “Sydney Events DB Query Tool” template: This tool will act as the bridge between your agent and database.
- Update the tool’s configuration:
- Replace the placeholder database URL with your Supabase database URL (find it in your Supabase project settings under API).
- Replace the placeholder API key with your Supabase API key.
4. Linking Relevance AI to Your Agentive Agent
- Save your Relevance AI tool.
- In Agentive, go to your agent’s “Tools” section and click “New.”
- Select “Custom Actions” > “GPTs.”
- Choose your Relevance AI tool from the dropdown menu.
- Paste the schema generated by Relevance AI.
- Add your Relevance AI API key.
- Update authentication and create the tool.
🚀 Your AI Chatbot is Ready!
You’ve done it! 🎉 You can now ask your chatbot questions about the events in your database. Try it out!
Example Questions:
- “What techno events are on next weekend?”
- “What’s happening at the Sydney Opera House in November?”
💡 Taking it Further:
- Deploy your chatbot on WhatsApp, Messenger, or your website: Agentive makes it easy to share your creation with the world!
- Add more data to your database: The more information you have, the more powerful your chatbot becomes.
- Get creative with new features: Can you add functionality to book tickets directly through the chatbot?
This is just the beginning of what you can achieve with AI and a little bit of ingenuity. Go forth and build amazing things!
