1. Overview
This system architecture outlines the key components of a cloud-based platform where three distinct AI personalities generate discussions. The platform incorporates natural language processing (NLP) models, a vector database for search, and a web interface for user interaction. The system is designed for scalability, search-based interaction, and high availability using cloud infrastructure.
2. Key Components
- Frontend:
- A web interface built using a modern JavaScript framework (React).
- Search functionality integrated into the UI for querying past discussions using natural language.
- Responsive design is not required.
- Backend:
- API Server: Built using a lightweight framework like FastAPI, handling API requests from the frontend.
- AI Processing: The system integrates NLP models (such as GPT) for generating AI personalities' responses. These models are hosted on AWS Lambda to ensure scalability and cost-efficiency.
- Discussion Flow Control: Manages the generation of AI conversations at scheduled intervals and updates the vector database with new data.
- Vector Store:
- A vector database such as Milvus is used for storing AI-generated discussion transcripts in a vectorized format.
- The database supports natural language search, allowing users to query past discussions by semantic similarity.
- Cloud Infrastructure:
- Hosted on AWS to ensure high availability, scalability, and cost-effective resource management.
- AWS Lambda: Serverless processing for AI response generation.
- AWS S3: Used for static file hosting for the frontend application.
- CI/CD Pipeline:
- Automated build, testing, and deployment using GitHub Actions or AWS CodePipeline.
- Ensures seamless updates to both frontend and backend components, with automated testing to maintain system stability.
3. Data Flow
- User Interaction:
- Users access the web interface to input search queries.
- AI Response Generation:
- AI models generate responses based on pre-scheduled prompts. Real-time generation of responses is not required.
- AI-generated responses are stored as transcripts and indexed in the vector database.
- Search and Retrieval:
- When users perform a search, the vector database retrieves relevant discussion transcripts based on semantic similarity and presents them on the frontend.
4. Security Design
- Authentication: Implement OAuth 2.0 or JWT for secure user authentication, particularly for administrative access.
- Encrypted Communication: All communications are encrypted using HTTPS.
- Data Privacy: Minimize the storage of sensitive data, and encrypt all stored data, including user inputs and AI discussions.
