Question -> Retrieval -> Grounded Answer

Placeholder visual

Featured case-study visual

Placeholder visual: question box, retrieved sources, and grounded answer panel.

TODO: Replace this block with a real screenshot, chart, map, or diagram.

Problem

Energy and grid datasets can be difficult to explore because information is distributed across tables, reports, and technical documentation.

Approach

Create a natural-language interface that retrieves relevant context, assembles source-grounded evidence, and returns answers with visible supporting sources.

Architecture

System flow and processing stages.

Stage 1

User question

Stage 2

Query processing

Stage 3

Retriever or dataset lookup

Stage 4

Context builder

Stage 5

LLM response generator

Stage 6

Source-grounded answer

Stage 7

User-facing interface

Data Sources

  • TODO: Add actual grid or energy datasets
  • TODO: Add technical reports or documentation sources
  • Structured CSV/JSON files if applicable

Methods

  • Retrieval-augmented generation
  • Prompt design
  • Source grounding
  • Data preprocessing

Technologies

  • Python
  • FastAPI
  • React or Next.js
  • LLM API
  • Vector search placeholder

Evidence and Screenshots

Results

  • Defined an AI system architecture for domain-specific data exploration.
  • Planned a source-grounded answer workflow to avoid unsupported chatbot responses.
  • Identified UI and evaluation artifacts needed to make the demo credible.

Metrics and Evaluation Needed

  • Number of indexed sources
  • Example query coverage
  • Answer grounding checklist
  • Latency if live demo is built

Challenges

  • Avoiding unsupported AI claims.
  • Grounding responses in real data and cited context.
  • Evaluating answer quality for domain-specific questions.

Lessons Learned

  • AI systems are more credible when retrieval and sources are visible.
  • Domain-specific assistants need evaluation examples, not just a chat box.
  • The interface should expose evidence, not hide it.

Future Work

  • Add a guided query demo.
  • Add source citation panels.
  • Build a small evaluation set of expected answers and sources.

Interactive Demo Ideas

  • Guided query demo with precomputed responses
  • Citation/source viewer
  • Example prompt gallery
