This application provides backend API endpoints to access various AI chatbots.
SECTIONS
Learn-AI follows the same initial setup steps outlined in the common OL web app guide.
Run through those steps including the addition of /etc/hosts aliases and the optional step for running the
createsuperuser command.
- The backend app runs locally on port 8005.
- A simple frontend sandbox runs at port 8003.
You can start it by running docker compose up
Configuration can be put in the following file which is gitignored:
mit-learn/
├── env/
├── backend.local.env
└── frontend.local.env
You will need at minimum the following environment variable to run locally:
# In backend.local.env
OPENAI_API_KEY=<your_openai_api_key>
Some parts of the frontend sandbox are query OpenEdx APIs. In lieue of a localally running OpenEdx instance in-sync with a Learn instance, you can proxy OpenEdx requests to an RC instance. For this to work, you must add OPENEDX_SESSION_COOKIE_VALUE to your frontend.local.env file. See frontend.env for details.
To ensure commits to GitHub are safe, first install pre-commit:
pip install pre_commit
pre-commit install
Running pre-commit can confirm your commit is safe to be pushed to GitHub and correctly formatted:
pre-commit run --all-files
To automatically install precommit hooks when cloning a repo, you can run this:
git config --global init.templateDir ~/.git-template
pre-commit init-templatedir ~/.git-template
Run the following curl command to test the HTTP recommendation agent API:
curl 'http://ai.open.odl.local:8002/http/recommendation_agent/' \
-H 'Accept: */*' \
-H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
-H 'Origin: http://ai.open.odl.local:8002' \
-H 'Referer: http://ai.open.odl.local:8002/' \
