Embedchain offers a Streamlit template to facilitate the development of RAG chatbot applications in just three easy steps. Follow the instructions given below to deploy your first application quickly:

​
Step-1: Create RAG app

We provide a command line utility called ec in embedchain that inherits the template for streamlit.io platform and help you deploy the app. Follow the instructions to create a streamlit.io app using the template provided:
Install embedchain
pip install embedchain
Create application
mkdir my-rag-app
ec create --template=streamlit.io
This will generate a directory structure like this: 
├── .streamlit
│   └── secrets.toml
├── app.py
├── embedchain.json
└── requirements.txt
Feel free to edit the files as required.
  • app.py: Contains API app code
  • .streamlit/secrets.toml: Contains secrets for your application
  • embedchain.json: Contains embedchain specific configuration for deployment (you don’t need to configure this)
  • requirements.txt: Contains python dependencies for your application
Add your OPENAI_API_KEY in .streamlit/secrets.toml file to run and deploy the app.

​
Step-2: Test app locally

You can run the app locally by simply doing:
Run locally
pip install -r requirements.txt
ec dev

​
Step-3: Deploy to streamlit.io

Streamlit App deploy button Use the deploy button from the streamlit website to deploy your app. You can refer this guide if you run into any problems.
