[Proposal] DOCit - A Discord Bot for Celer Documentation and Support

Your Proposal Title

Summary

We have developed docIT, a private Discord bot that enables users to “talk to your docs.” The bot is designed to support multiple document sites, integrating evolving Language Learning Models (LLMs).

Abstract

It aims to unify Celer’s essential GitHub repositories, documentation, related articles, and forum posts. This provides users with a conversational interface where they can ask questions and receive natural language responses, complete with supporting links.

Motivation

Our primary objectives include:

  • Augmenting the Developer Relations (DevRel) and Community Support teams at Celer

  • Reducing the workload for support teams on Discord

  • Accelerating responses to frequently asked questions

Proposal

Background

The success of technical Web3 projects is closely linked to an ecosystem of developers utilizing the protocols. Developers often rely on official documentation and GitHub repositories to understand various projects. However, no documentation can be entirely exhaustive, requiring a team to offer “frontline” support for those developing or using the protocol.

Developer Relations and Community Support teams serve as the initial human interface with these protocols. Their primary roles include fostering developer communities and gauging product-market fit. A common challenge these teams face is the lack of sufficient human resources to address the plethora of questions and inquiries received daily. Our solution aims to free up the Celer support teams to focus on their core strengths, which include resolving unique customer issues, establishing trust, and nurturing an engaged community.

Project Plan (4-Week Delivery)

Pre-Implementation

Collaborate with the DevRel, Customer Support, and Community Support teams to understand their needs, identify pain points, and decide where the bot can be most effective. The insights gathered will guide the selection of data sources for implementation.

Milestone 1: Implementation of Data Sources (2 Weeks)

  • Objective: Incorporate 3-4 high-value data sources into the bot.

  • Tasks: Crawl data, create OpenAI embeddings in our database to index and set up search functionalities.

  • End State: Have 3-4 data sources that can be queried.

  • Expected Bugs: Hallucinations, mismatches on query/documents.

Milestone 2: Testing and Optimization + Deploy to Production (2 Weeks)

  • Objective: Refine the bot and make it production-ready.

  • Tasks: Eliminate hallucinations, optimize prompt engineering, and ensure only relevant answers are provided, along with source material and links.

  • End State: A production-ready bot, approved by the Customer/Community Support teams for deployment on Celer’s Discord.

Technology Stack

  • OpenAI & LLAMA2 LLM

  • Digital Ocean (Hosting)

  • Supabase (Database)

  • Node.js (Backend)

Funding Requirements

We are requesting an $8,000 USD grant to build and maintain the bot, broken down as follows:

  • Infrastructure Costs ($2,000): 12-month provision, covering OpenAI token usage, Digital Ocean, and Supabase databases.

  • Development Costs ($6,000): Includes back-end code maintenance, LLM logic updates, and adding new bot commands as needed.
