david b73fe0cc3c Integrating RAGFlow API as a Plugin into ChatGPT-on-WeChat (#2988)
### What problem does this PR solve?

This PR introduces the `ragflow_chat` plugin for the ChatGPT-on-WeChat
project, extending its functionality by integrating Retrieval-Augmented
Generation (RAG) capabilities. It allows users to have more contextually
relevant conversations by retrieving information from external knowledge
sources (via the RAGFlow API) and incorporating it into their chat
interactions.

The primary goal of this PR is to enable seamless communication between
ChatGPT-on-WeChat and the RAGFlow server, improving response accuracy by
embedding knowledge-based data into conversational flows. This is
particularly useful for users who need more complex, data-driven
responses.

This PR adds a new plugin that enhances ChatGPT-on-WeChat with Ragflow
capabilities, allowing for a more enriched conversational experience
driven by external knowledge.

RAGFlow Chat Plugin for ChatGPT-on-WeChat
=========================================
This folder contains the source code for the `ragflow_chat` plugin, which extends the core functionality of the RAGFlow API to support conversational interactions using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). This plugin integrates seamlessly with the [ChatGPT-on-WeChat](https://github.com/zhayujie/chatgpt-on-wechat) project, enabling WeChat and other platforms to leverage the knowledge retrieval capabilities provided by RAGFlow in chat interactions.
### Features
* **Conversational Interactions**: Combine WeChat's conversational interface with powerful RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) capabilities.
* **Knowledge-Based Responses**: Enrich conversations by retrieving relevant data from external knowledge sources and incorporating them into chat responses.
* **Multi-Platform Support**: Works across WeChat, WeCom, and various other platforms supported by the ChatGPT-on-WeChat framework.
### Plugin vs. ChatGPT-on-WeChat Configurations
**Note**: There are two distinct configuration files used in this setup—one for the ChatGPT-on-WeChat core project and another specific to the `ragflow_chat` plugin. It is important to configure both correctly to ensure smooth integration.
#### ChatGPT-on-WeChat Root Configuration (`config.json`)
This file is located in the root directory of the [ChatGPT-on-WeChat](https://github.com/zhayujie/chatgpt-on-wechat) project and is responsible for defining the communication channels and overall behavior. For example, it handles the configuration for WeChat, WeCom, and other services like Feishu and DingTalk.
Example `config.json` (for WeChat channel):
```json
{
"channel_type": "wechatmp",
"wechatmp_app_id": "YOUR_APP_ID",
"wechatmp_app_secret": "YOUR_APP_SECRET",
"wechatmp_token": "YOUR_TOKEN",
"wechatmp_port": 80,
...
}
```
This file can also be modified to support other communication platforms, such as:
- **Personal WeChat** (`channel_type: wx`)
- **WeChat Public Account** (`wechatmp` or `wechatmp_service`)
- **WeChat Work (WeCom)** (`wechatcom_app`)
- **Feishu** (`feishu`)
- **DingTalk** (`dingtalk`)
For detailed configuration options, see the official [LinkAI documentation](https://docs.link-ai.tech/cow/multi-platform/wechat-mp).
#### RAGFlow Chat Plugin Configuration (`plugins/ragflow_chat/config.json`)
This configuration is specific to the `ragflow_chat` plugin and is used to set up communication with the RAGFlow server. Ensure that your RAGFlow server is running, and update the plugin's `config.json` file with your server details:
Example `config.json` (for `ragflow_chat`):
```json
{
"ragflow_api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"ragflow_host": "127.0.0.1:80"
}
```
This file must be configured to point to your RAGFlow instance, with the `ragflow_api_key` and `ragflow_host` fields set appropriately. The `ragflow_host` is typically your server's address and port number, and the `ragflow_api_key` is obtained from your RAGFlow API setup.
### Requirements
Before you can use this plugin, ensure the following are in place:
1. You have installed and configured [ChatGPT-on-WeChat](https://github.com/zhayujie/chatgpt-on-wechat).
2. You have deployed and are running the [RAGFlow](https://github.com/jina-ai/ragflow) server.
Make sure both `config.json` files (ChatGPT-on-WeChat and RAGFlow Chat Plugin) are correctly set up as per the examples above.
