gsoc application for dashbot #722
Conversation
Yes it should be supported for mobile. Only through API access. Ollama still be supported as it lets you provide URL which can be provided in case of hosted version of API Dash.
The most important API provider that needs to be added is Ollama as API Dash was built with the spirit of privacy first.
Right now the UI of DashBot provided is a simple chatbot, but DashBot is a task specific chatbot which assists user with API specific tasks so this UI will not work. Provide more DashBot task specific UI designs. You have already mentioned the tasks DashBot will help with in the proposal .. now you can prepare some initial designs for each of these tasks to get more clarity how the user interaction will happen.
We are pushing the boundary by being the first to produce API task benchmarks. This is an essential step to ensure that we can suggest the best model to the end users. I will recommend you to look out for ways in which you can judge the outputs for these tasks. It will require some research. 5 Should I implement logic to store chat history and relevant context locally, similar to a memory layer? Actually, it is similar. A memory layer can manage and store chat history for a request. @Udhay-Adithya Please update your proposal taking into account the above feedback. |

Thank you for the feedback; it is immensely valuable to me, @animator. To clarify further:
I will go through the existing PRs and review comments carefully. However, I wanted to confirm: Is DashBot strictly a task-specific bot, or can it also support general interactions? |
What do you mean by "general interactions"? |
|
It will allow "general interactions" to improve the task results. But, it will not be a chatbot for general interactions with large language models. |

Thank you for the clarification @animator, and I apologize for not clearly stating what I meant by "general interactions." By "general interactions," I was referring specifically to interactions related to APIs. My question was whether we could provide users with the ability to further prompt DashBot based on its responses. This would allow users to explore certain API-related topics in more depth or gain additional insights without having to switch to another tool like ChatGPT or Claude. Of course, DashBot would remain strictly focused on API-related queries and tasks, ensuring that its purpose as an API-specific assistant is maintained. My intent was to explore whether we could enhance the user experience by enabling deeper engagement within API Dash itself. EDIT: I didn't notice the above comment while writing this(I didn't refresh the page). |
Yes this is what i meant by "general interactions". Thanks |
We are on the same page then 👍 |

Hey @animator , I've made the improvements as you suggested, and I hope they match your expectations. Your feedback is extremely valuable, so please let me know if you need any further adjustments. Regarding the absence of additional buttons for features like response explanation, documentation generation, test generation, and frontend code generation in the design: these functionalities are directly accessible via the floating action button on the home screen. Once users tap it, they can choose from a range of developer-specific features. Since not everyone requires these options, only the debugging feature—which is frequently used for API error troubleshooting—has its own dedicated button. If you think adding these buttons would enhance the user experience, just let me know and I'm happy to make the changes. |

The proposal looks good for now .. You can now work on a draft PR of your approach or modify the existing API Dash Dashbot code to incorporate some of these suggested design elements and raise it by Wednesday. |
|
Thank you for the feedback! I'll start working on DashBot and incorporate the changes I suggested. Also, just to update you—I have uploaded my proposal as a PDF document on the GSoC website as instructed by @ashitaprasad . Let me know if there's anything else I should take care of. |
You still have the option to update the proposal on the website right .. as we might make some changes this week after PR review? |
Yes I see that there is an option to update my proposal. |
