conversations.
Day 18-20: Frontend Development
●​ Basic Frontend Setup: Create a simple web interface for users to interact with the
chatbot.
●​ Integrate Frontend with Backend: Ensure the frontend can send queries to the
backend and display responses.
Day 21-23: Advanced Features
●​ Performance Tuning: Optimize the performance of the retriever and generator.
●​ Error Handling: Implement robust error handling throughout the system.
●​ Security Measures: Ensure secure handling of sensitive data and API keys.

Week 4: Testing, Debugging, and Deployment


Day 24-26: Testing and Debugging
