How to Build an Ecommerce ChatGPT Chatbot with Mantium

Suggest Edits

Introduction

In this tutorial, you will learn how to build an Ecommerce ChatGPT chatbot using Mantium. The chatbot, designed to function in ChatGPT using the official Mantium ChatGPT Plugin, is capable of answering questions and providing responses to queries about different products.

The inspiration for this tutorial came from the LangChain + Redis tutorial, where a similar project was executed in code. This tutorial will guide you through the no-code steps, and a ChatGPT chat experience for a more robust chat experience.

Prerequisites

  • Download the datasets here
  • OpenAI Key

Create Datasets using the CSV Data Connector

The first step is to upload the CSV file containing the product datasets to Mantium using the CSV Data Connector.

To do this:

  1. Click Data Source on the left navigation bar to go to the Data Sources section.
  2. On the top right corner, select Add Data Source
  3. From the list of Data Sources, select the CSV Data Connector.
  4. Provide the necessary details(Amazon Product Data) to label the Data Source and wait for the job process to complete.
  5. Complete the data upload process, by uploading the file containing the data you want to analyze.
  6. Click the Finish and Sync button.

After uploading the CSV data, we need to create a new dataset to apply transformations.

To create a new dataset:

  1. After the sync is completed, Click on the Create Custom Datasets button in the Data Source section.
  2. Alternatively, you can create datasets by navigating to the Datasets section on the left pane.
  3. Provide a Dataset name, and select where the data comes from (Amazon Product Data). Note that this would have been automatically selected for you.
  4. Click on Save to save your configuration, and wait for the job to complete.

See an example of the datasets below

Apply Transformations

We are going to apply just one transformation to prepare the data: Combine Columns. This process will merge all the useful columns to form a single column, which we will then use to generate embeddings.

Steps:

  1. In the datasets, navigate to Transforms, and select Combine Columns from the list of transforms.
  2. Enter the configuration parameter as shown below.
Destination Column: manipulated_text  
String Template: Item_ID: item_id , Market_Place: marketplace , 
  Country: country , Bullet_Point: bullet_point , 
    Item_Keyword: item_keywords , Material: material , 
      Brand: brand , Color: color , Item_Name: item_name , 
        Model_Name: model_name , Model_Number: model_number , Product_Type: product_type
  1. Click on Save and Run Transforms to complete the process.

Now the data is ready! The next step is to create an application in Mantium.

Quick Warning

  • If you select the Standard option and have previously created a split_content column, ensure to pick this same split_content column in subsequent steps rather than the original text column. This will prevent the unnecessary expansion of your dataset, ultimately keeping your OpenAI usage costs in check.
  • Ensure to select the Advanced option if you have Embeddings already.

Instructions

Please follow the link below to find instructions on how to create your Mantium apps. Note that we haven't created the embeddings column, so we will use the Standard option and let Mantium perform the transformation for us.

Setup your Mantium Apps

Interact with your App in ChatGPT.

There are two ways to interact with your app in ChatGPT;

  1. Use Mantium's ChatGPT Plugin to Interact with your App.(Recommended)
  2. Setup your own OpenAI ChatGPT Plugin, if you have developer access - which means you have the ability to create plugins in ChatGPT.

Use Mantium's ChatGPT Plugin
