Getting your own Replicate API token

To use this app, you'll need to get your own Replicate API token.

After creating a Replicate account, you can access your API token from this page.

Setup Instructions

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or later 🐍
• pip3 📦

Installation

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/snowflake-arctic-chatbot.git
   cd snowflake-arctic-chatbot

2. Install requirements

      pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Add your API token to your secrets file
   Create a .streamlit folder with a secrets.toml file inside.

   mkdir .streamlit
   cd .streamlit
   touch secrets.toml

   Use your text editor or IDE of choice to add the following to secrets.toml:

   REPLICATE_API_TOKEN = "your API token here"

   Learn more about Streamlit secrets management in our docs.

   Alternatively, you can enter your Replicate API token via the st.text_input widget in the app itself (once you're running the app).

4. Run the Streamlit app Note: there are two versions of the app included in this repo. simple_app.py is a simpler app which passes user input to Arctic and returns Arctic's response. streamlit_app.py has built-in guardrails, meaning that it checks user input to ensure queries are safe (i.e. users are not asking Arctic for instructions on how to commit illegal activity, etc.).

To run the version of the app that includes guardrails, enter:

cd ..
streamlit run streamlit_app.py

To run the simpler version of the app, enter:

cd ..
streamlit run simple_app.py
