β HuggingFace Spaces Implementation - Complete!
What Was Done
Your SAP Chatbot is now fully configured for HuggingFace Spaces multi-user deployment! π
Code Changes Made:
1. tools/agent.py - Enhanced HuggingFace Inference API
- β
Improved
query_huggingface()method with:- Model mapping to actual HF model IDs
- Better error handling (rate limits, timeouts, auth errors)
- Proper response parsing from HF Inference API
- Cloud-friendly timeout handling
- β
Added
huggingface_hubimport for data downloads
2. tools/embeddings.py - Added HF Hub Loading
- β
New method:
load_from_hf_hub(repo_id)to download index/metadata - β Auto-detects when running in HF Spaces
- β Falls back to local files if HF Hub not available
- β Supports both local and cloud data sources
3. config.py - Environment Auto-Detection
- β
Auto-detects HF Spaces environment (
SPACE_IDenv var) - β Auto-detects Streamlit Cloud
- β
Sets appropriate LLM defaults:
- HF Spaces β HuggingFace Inference API
- Local β Ollama
- β Updated HF model options with proper IDs
4. app.py - Enhanced UI for Cloud
- β RAG init tries HF Hub first, fallback to local
- β Shows environment (Local vs π€ HF Spaces)
- β Added "Deploy to HF Spaces" help section
- β Improved cloud error messages

Deploy in 30 Minutes
Phase 1: Prepare Data (5 min)
Get your HuggingFace token:
# Visit https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
# Create token with "read" access
# Copy the token
Create dataset repo and upload files:
pip install huggingface-hub
huggingface-cli login # Paste your token
# Create repo on https://huggingface.co/datasets
# Then upload your data files:
huggingface-cli upload YOUR-USERNAME/sap-chatbot-data \
data/rag_index.faiss data/rag_index.faiss
huggingface-cli upload YOUR-USERNAME/sap-chatbot-data \
data/rag_metadata.pkl data/rag_metadata.pkl
huggingface-cli upload YOUR-USERNAME/sap-chatbot-data \
data/sap_dataset.json data/sap_dataset.json
Phase 2: Push to GitHub (5 min)
cd /Users/akshay/sap-chatboot
git init
git add .
git commit -m "SAP Chatbot for HF Spaces"
# Create repo on github.com, then:
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/sap-chatbot.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
Phase 3: Create HF Space (5 min)
- Visit https://huggingface.co/spaces
- Click "Create new Space"
- Fill in:
- Name:
sap-chatbot - SDK:
Streamlit - Visibility:
PublicorPrivate
- Name:
- Click "Create Space"
- Connect your GitHub repo (Settings β Linked Repository)
Phase 4: Add Secrets (5 min)
In Space Settings β "Secrets":
HF_API_TOKEN = hf_xR9q... (your token from Phase 1)
HF_DATASET_REPO = your-username/sap-chatbot-data
LLM_PROVIDER = huggingface
LLM_MODEL = mistral
Phase 5: Deploy & Test (5 min)
- Space auto-builds (~5 min on first run)
- Click "Open in iframe"
- Wait 10-15 seconds for initialization
- Test: "How do I monitor SAP background jobs?"
- See answer with sources!
