Abstract

Developer Inspiration Assistant is an open-source AI tool that helps developers discover and draw inspiration from award-winning projects on ReadyTensor. Using RAG with Llama-3.3-70B (Groq) and Chroma, it supports queries like:

tag "Best Overall Project"

It returns up to 5 matching publications with full context.

Introduction

ReadyTensor hosts hundreds of high-quality AI/ML publications, but finding the award-winning ones — and understanding why they stand out — is time-consuming.

Developer Inspiration Assistant solves this by:

• Scraping all ReadyTensor publications
• Indexing them with all-MiniLM-L6-v2 embeddings
• Enabling award-specific RAG search using Llama-3.3-70B (Groq)
• Delivering inspiration-first results with full context

Goal: Turn ReadyTensor into a dynamic inspiration engine for developers.

Methodology

The Developer Inspiration Assistant follows a three‑stage pipeline to deliver fast, accurate, and inspiration‑rich search over ReadyTensor publications.

---

1. Data Collection

The first step is to gather all publication data from ReadyTensor. A web scraper visits the public publications page, extracts structured metadata (title, ID, description, awards, username, license), and saves it locally for offline processing.

This guarantees a complete, up‑to‑date snapshot of every project.

# scraper.py
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch()
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://app.readytensor.ai/publications")
    # Extract: title, ID, description, awards, username, license
    # Save to: data/readytensor_publications.json

Output: data/readytensor_publications.json
File: scraper.py

---

2. Indexing

After the raw data is collected, it is pre‑processed and embedded into a semantic vector space. Text is split into manageable chunks, each chunk is transformed into a dense vector with a lightweight embedding model, and the vectors are stored in a persistent vector database.

This step enables fast semantic retrieval and fuzzy matching on award names (e.g., “Best Overall” ≈ “Best Overall Project”).

# ingest.py
from langchain_huggingface import HuggingFaceEmbeddings
from langchain_chroma import Chroma

embeddings = HuggingFaceEmbeddings(model_name="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2")
vectorstore = Chroma(persist_directory="chroma_db", embedding_function=embeddings)

# Load JSON → chunk → embed → store

Output: chroma_db/ (persistent vector store)
Embedding Model: all-MiniLM-L6-v2
File: ingest.py

---

3. Query & Generation

When a user submits a query (e.g., tag "Most Innovative Project"), the system:

1. Retrieves the top‑k most relevant chunks from the vector store
2. Filters them by award (with fuzzy matching)
3. Formats a concise context
4. Generates a natural‑language answer using Llama‑3.3‑70B

The final response lists up to 5 matching projects with title, ID, awards, and a short snippet.

# RAG Chain in app.py / assistant.py
retriever = vectorstore.as_retriever(search_kwargs={"k": 500})
rag_chain = (
    {"context": retriever, "question": RunnablePassthrough()}
    | prompt
    | ChatGroq(model="llama-3.3-70b-versatile")
    | StrOutputParser()
)

Output: Up to 5 projects (title, ID, awards, snippet)
LLM: llama-3.3-70b-versatile via Groq API
Files: app.py, assistant.py
