This app is built using Python 3.9+, Flask 2.0+, and Pinecone. It performs a similarity search using the Pinecone SDK to find similar questions from a dataset.
Begin by cloning this git repo and navigating to the project directory.
Next, create a virtual environment and activate it:
python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
Install dependencies by running:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Create an .env file and add your Pinecone API key:
PINECONE_API_KEY=your-key-here
Finally, to run the app on your machine, simply run this command from the terminal:
flask run
Or, to run the app in debug mode, add the FLASK_ENV=development environment variable before the command:
FLASK_ENV=development flask run
The app should now be running on http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your browser.
