# Notion Question-Answering

🤖Ask questions to your Notion database in natural language🤖

💪 Built with [LangChain](https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain)

# 🌲 Environment Setup

In order to set your environment up to run the code here, first install all requirements:

```shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Then set your OpenAI API key (if you don't have one, get one [here](https://beta.openai.com/playground))

```shell
export OPENAI_API_KEY=....
```

# 📄 What is in here?
- Example data from Blendle 
- Python script to query Notion with a question
- Code to deploy on StreamLit
- Instructions for ingesting your own dataset

## 📊 Example Data
This repo uses the [Blendle Employee Handbook](https://www.notion.so/Blendle-s-Employee-Handbook-7692ffe24f07450785f093b94bbe1a09) as an example.
It was downloaded October 18th so may have changed slightly since then!

## 💬 Ask a question
In order to ask a question, run a command like:

```shell
python qa.py "is there food in the office?"
```

You can switch out `is there food in the office?` for any question of your liking!

This exposes a chat interface for interacting with a Notion database.
IMO, this is a more natural and convenient interface for getting information.

## 🚀 Code to deploy on StreamLit

The code to run the StreamLit app is in `main.py`. 
Note that when setting up your StreamLit app you should make sure to add `OPENAI_API_KEY` as a secret environment variable.

## 🧑 Instructions for ingesting your own dataset

Export your dataset from Notion. You can do this by clicking on the three dots in the upper right hand corner and then clicking `Export`.

When exporting, make sure to select the `Markdown & CSV` format option.

This will produce a `.zip` file in your Downloads folder. Move the `.zip` file into this repository.

Run the following command to unzip the zip file (replace the `Export...` with your own file name as needed).

```shell
unzip Export-d3adfe0f-3131-4bf3-8987-a52017fc1bae.zip -d Notion_DB
```

Run the following command to ingest the data.

```shell
python ingest.py
```

Boom! Now you're done, and you can ask it questions like:

```shell
python qa.py "is there food in the office?"
```
