Building a conditional chatbot using the Vector Shift no-code builder is a powerful way to enhance your customer interactions. By leveraging a combination of standard pipelines, OpenAI language models, and CSV query agents, you can create a versatile chatbot that can handle a wide range of customer inquiries.
The key to this approach is the ability to classify the user's question and route it to the appropriate pipeline. Using an OpenAI language model, you can categorize the question as either related to a CSV data source (e.g., pricing information) or a general query that should be handled by a knowledge base.
Once the question is classified, the conditional node in Vector Shift allows you to create separate paths for each scenario. The CSV-related questions can be directed to a CSV query agent, which can autonomously search the data and provide the relevant information. For general queries, the chatbot can leverage a knowledge base to generate a contextual response.
By merging these paths using the "pick first" function, the chatbot can seamlessly deliver the most appropriate response to the user, regardless of the nature of the question. This streamlined approach ensures that your customers receive the information they need quickly and efficiently, enhancing their overall experience with your brand.
Deploying the conditional chatbot is straightforward. Simply press the "Deploy" button, export the chatbot, and embed it on your website or share it with your team and customers. With this powerful tool, you can unlock new levels of customer engagement and satisfaction, driving business growth and success.

In this section, we'll explore how to build a conditional chatbot that leverages both a knowledge base and a CSV data source to provide seamless and tailored responses to user queries. By incorporating advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques and conditional logic, we'll create a chatbot that can intelligently route questions to the appropriate data source, ensuring users receive accurate and relevant information.
The key steps involved in this process include:
-
Question Classification: We'll use an OpenAI language model to classify the user's question into one of two categories: "CSV" (related to pricing or a specific data set) or "general" (a more open-ended query).
-
Conditional Routing: Based on the question classification, we'll use a conditional node to route the query to the appropriate pipeline. If the question is classified as "CSV," it will be directed to the CSV query agent; if it's classified as "general," it will be routed to the knowledge base.
-
Knowledge Base Integration: For general queries, we'll leverage a knowledge base to provide context-aware responses, ensuring the chatbot can effectively answer a wide range of questions.
-
CSV Data Querying: For questions related to pricing or a specific data set, we'll utilize the CSV query agent to retrieve the relevant information and deliver a tailored response.
-
Merged Output: Finally, we'll use a merge node to combine the outputs from the two pipelines, ensuring the chatbot provides a seamless and consistent user experience, regardless of the type of question asked.
By implementing this conditional chatbot architecture, you'll be able to create a powerful and versatile conversational assistant that can handle a variety of user queries, seamlessly integrating data from multiple sources to deliver accurate and helpful responses.

Conclusion
Conclusion
In this tutorial, we have built a conditional chatbot using the Vector Shift no-code builder. We started by reviewing the different types of pipelines available in Vector Shift, including standard pipelines, triggers, and conversational pipelines.
We then focused on building a chatbot that can handle two types of questions: those related to pricing (CSV) and general questions. To achieve this, we used an OpenAI language model to classify the incoming question, and then routed the question to either a knowledge base or a CSV query agent based on the classification.
The key steps involved in this process were:
- Connecting the input question to the OpenAI language model to classify the question.
- Using a conditional node to route the question based on the classification.
- Implementing the knowledge base pipeline for general questions.
- Implementing the CSV query agent pipeline for pricing-related questions.
- Merging the two paths using the "pick first" function to produce a single output.
Finally, we discussed how to deploy the chatbot by exporting it as a Vector Shift chatbot, which can then be embedded on a website or shared with your team or customers.
This tutorial has demonstrated the power and flexibility of the Vector Shift platform in building sophisticated, conditional chatbots that can handle a variety of user inputs and provide relevant, tailored responses.
