Verify Solr Integration with Drupal +- Ensure the Solr server is running. +- Confirm that the Search API and Search API Solr modules are installed and configured in Drupal. +- Index content from Drupal to ensure Solr is indexing correctly. + +### 2. Set Up Chatbot Framework +- Choose a chatbot framework (e.g., Rasa, Botpress, or OpenAI API). +- Install and configure the chatbot framework on your server. +- Connect the chatbot to Drupal via API or webhooks. + +### 3. Integrate Solr with the Chatbot +- Configure the chatbot to send user queries to Solr. +- Ensure Solr returns relevant search results for the chatbot to use in responses. + +### 4. Implement Access Controls +- Adjust Drupal permissions so only authenticated users can access the chatbot. +- Implement rate limiting to manage API usage and costs, either through Drupal modules or the OpenAI dashboard. + +### 5. Test and Refine +- Test the chatbot by running queries and ensuring it retrieves accurate information from Solr. +- Refine configurations and adjust settings based on testing results. + +## Additional Notes +- **Custom GPT vs. Self-Hosted Solution**: Using the ChatGPT interface for a custom GPT is convenient and managed by OpenAI, but costs are usage-based. A self-hosted solution gives you more control and can be more cost-effective in the long run but requires managing infrastructure. \ No newline at end of file
