Introduction

GenAI Chatbot is a next-generation conversational AI assistant designed to provide natural, context-aware interactions. At its core, it utilizes efficient Small Language Models (SLMs) and supports the direct import of models fine-tuned within GenAI Studio, enabling easy deployment and immediate use of custom models in the chatbot.

The chatbot features advanced capabilities, including:

• Audio processing (Speech-to-Text [STT] and Text-to-Speech [TTS]).
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
• An embedded vector database (VectorDB).
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, which enable AI agents to perform actions.

GenAI Chatbot features a flexible configuration suitable for diverse application scenarios and is optimized for embedded platforms such as the Ryzen AI 8000, NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, and Jetson Orin AGX.
