Fitness AI ChatBot
Built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) conversational agent to provide tailored fitness and nutrition advice. The system utilizes Sentence Transformers to embed fitness documents into a Pinecone vector database. By orchestrating LangChain with large language models (Groq, OpenAI, or Ollama), the chatbot grounds its responses in factual fitness data. It is deployed as a real-time conversational interface via Chainlit, maintaining conversation history to ask clarifying questions and deliver personalized recommendations.
Technologies Used
Problem Statement
Generic fitness applications provide static workout routines that fail to adapt to a user's specific context, injuries, or dietary constraints. Users seeking personalized advice often encounter generic AI hallucinations or require expensive human coaching.
Solution
The Fitness ChatBot implements a RAG architecture to anchor AI responses in verified fitness literature. By semantically searching a Pinecone vector database containing structured fitness and nutrition knowledge, the LLM generates highly accurate, context-aware advice. The integration of LangChain memory allows the bot to ask clarifying questions, mimicking a real coach, while the Chainlit interface provides a seamless, streaming user experience.
