Backend (FastAPI) Documentation

Welcome to the documentation for the Backend of the AILA Chatbot!

This section provides a complete reference to the backend system, which is built with FastAPI. It explains the architectural design, core functionality, and the public API surface generated from inline docstrings across the backend modules and packages.

The backend is responsible for:

• Managing authentication and user sessions

• Handling real-time WebSocket communication for chat

• Integrating the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline

• Serving API endpoints to the frontend and external clients

Overview

High-level notes about the backend go here. (You can expand this section with architecture diagrams, flowcharts, or explanations of key modules like auth, chat, and retrieval.)
