About Akcio

With Akcio, you are able to build a knowledge-enhanced ChatBot using LLM service like ChatGPT. You will learn how to start a backend service using FastAPI, which provides standby APIs to support further applications. Alternatively, we show how to use Gradio to build an online demo with user interface. You can find more about the workflow and related sources through documents:
