AI Chatbot for Nextcloud Documentation: Seeking Collaborators with Nextcloud & PHP Expertise

Nextcloud technical assistant

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a Nextcloud user and developer with experience in LLMs, GPT, and LangChain, as well as a fullstack web app dev, I see an opportunity to improve the Nextcloud documentation experience by creating an AI chatbot trained on Nextcloud documentation. This would provide users with a more efficient way to access information and get answers to their questions.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to initiate and actively develop a project that creates an AI chatbot trained on Nextcloud documentation. The chatbot would be integrated into the Nextcloud ecosystem, allowing users to quickly and easily access relevant information from the documentation.

I am willing to lead the project, but as I am not very familiar with the inner workings of Nextcloud and PHP, I would need some fellows to join the project for it to truly take off. With a small team of dedicated contributors who have a deep understanding of Nextcloud, we can make this chatbot a reality and significantly improve the user experience.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative solution would be to improve the search functionality within the Nextcloud documentation. While this would help users find information more quickly, it would not provide the same level of assistance and convenience as an AI chatbot.

Additional context

I believe that the AI chatbot could greatly enhance the Nextcloud documentation experience by providing users with instant access to relevant information. I am confident in my ability to develop the AI aspect of the project, but I need support from the Nextcloud community to make this a reality. If you have experience with Nextcloud and PHP and are interested in joining the project, please feel free to get in touch. Together, we can make a significant contribution to the Nextcloud ecosystem.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by reviewing the Nextcloud documentation project and the existing search functionality mentioned as an alternative. Done would require an agreed chatbot scope, integration approach, and contribution plan with Nextcloud and PHP collaborators.
