Ever wondered what Steve Jobs would tell you about your startup idea? Or what Kobe Bryant would say about your work ethic? Or how Marcus Aurelius would stoically judge your life choices?

Well, now you can fafo!
It's basically a Magic 8-Ball, except instead of vague fortunes, you get life advice from dead famous people. Also, it's a demo showcasing LangChain for building RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines and personality-driven chatbots.
Chat with:
- Steve Jobs - He'll tell you why your design sucks (but like, nicely)
- Kobe Bryant - Prepare for a lecture on your "Mamba Mentality"
- Marcus Aurelius - Roman emperor who'll make you feel bad about complaining... philosophically
First, you'll need Python. If you don't have Python installed... well, that's a different README.
pip install -r requirements.txtThis includes all the LangChain goodies (langchain, langchain-openai, langchain-community) for building the RAG pipeline, plus Flask for the web interface. Basically, everything you need to make dead people talk.
Create a .env file and add your OpenAI API key:
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
python app.pyThen open your browser and go to: http://127.0.0.1:5000
That's it! You're now ready to receive wisdom from beyond the grave. Or at least from a language model pretending to be beyond the grave.
Built with LangChain, Python, Flask, and questionable life decisions.
