Dai - Decentralized AI Chatbot on ICP

Dai is a decentralized AI chatbot built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP). This README provides guidance on setting up and running the application.

Setup

Frontend Canister

Setup

After setting up the frontend credentials, ensure that you have the dfx command-line tool installed on your computer. Check its version with the following command:

dfx --version

Note: The version of dfx should be 0.15.0

If you don't have it installed, follow the instructions in the ICP SDK installation guide.

For a smooth deployment, follow the Azle installation documentation.

Install Dependencies

To install project dependencies, run the following command:

npm install

Run the App Locally

Before running the app locally, start the local replica with the following command:

dfx start --clean

To run the app locally, ensure that dfx (Internet Computer CDK) is installed and running. Execute the following command in another terminal window without closing the replica:

dfx deploy

This command deploys both the frontend and backend canisters to your local network. However, you can also deploy them separately.

Separate Deployment

• Deploy only the backend:

dfx deploy dfinity_js_backend

• Deploy only the frontend:

dfx deploy dfinity_js_frontend

• Test the frontend locally:

npm start
