Companion Reading: Creating a (mostly) Autonomous HR Assistant with ChatGPT and LangChain’s Agents and Tools
This is a prototype enterprise application - an autonomous agent that is able to answer HR queries using the tools it has on hand. It was made using LangChain's agents and tools modules, using Pinecone as vector database and powered by ChatGPT or gpt-3.5-turbo. The front-end is Streamlit using the streamlit_chat component.
Tools:


pip install -r requirements.txthr_agent_backend_local.py file (or hr_agent_backend_azure.py if you want to use the azure version; just uncomment it in the frontend.py file)streamlit run hr_agent_frontent.py in your terminalAzure OpenAI Service - the OpenAI service offering for Azure customers.
LangChain - development frame work for building apps around LLMs.
Pinecone - the vector database for storing the embeddings.
Streamlit - used for the front end. Lightweight framework for deploying python web apps.
Azure Data Lake - for landing the employee data csv files. Any other cloud storage should work just as well (blob, S3 etc).
Azure Data Factory - used to create the data pipeline.
SAP HCM - the source system for employee data.
