Configuration
The file config.json contains some parameters for the chatbot and the url to connect to for the backend.
A typical configuration file looks like this:
- {
“waking_up_word”: “computer”, “waking_up_sound”: true, “deactivate_sound”: true, “rules”: “rules.yaml”, “index”: “indices.yaml”, “cache_filename”: “knowledge_cache”, “prompt_filename”: “main.prompt”, “functions”: “functions.py”, “max_recursion”: 2, “frontend_port”: 8090, “backend”: {
“host”: “localhost”, “port”: 8080, “token”: “secret”
}, “generation_config”: {
“temperature”: 0.4
}, “listener_model”: {
“listener_hotword_logp”: -8, “listener_volume_threshold”: 0.6, “listener_silence_timeout”: 0.7, “interruptible”: true
}
}
These settings regulate the following:
“waking_up_word” is the name of the bot, used to wake up the system in the “run-audio” mode.
“waking_up_sound” and “deactivate_sound” are played to signal the system is up or is back to idle.
“rules” is the file containing the facts and rules that guide the chatbot. The default is “rules.yaml”.
“index” is the file containing the path to the files to index. The default is “indices.yaml”.
“cache_filename” is the file where the indexed knowledge is cached. The default is “knowledge_cache”.
“prompt_filename” is the file containing the main prompt for the chatbot. The default is “main.prompt”.
“functions” is the file containing the functions that can be used in the rules. The default is “functions.py”.
“frontend_port” is the port where the web frontend is running. The default is 8090.
“backend” is the configuration related to the backend. The default is “localhost:8080”.
“generation_config” is the configuration related to the generation of the response. The default is “temperature: 0.4”.
“listener_model” is the configuration related to the listener model. These items determine the thresholds for hotword detection, volume threshold, silence timeout, and whether the listener is interruptible. The default is “listener_hotword_logp: -8”, “listener_volume_threshold: 0.6”, “listener_silence_timeout: 0.7”, “interruptible: true”.
