+# Drupal and Solr Chatbot Integration Guide
+
+## Overview
+This guide covers the integration of a chatbot with Drupal 10 using Solr for search functionality and controlling access and costs.
+
+## Task List
+
+### 1. 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.
