F1GPT - Formula One AI Chatbot

F1GPT is a domain-focused AI assistant built with Next.js and powered by GPT-5 through the AI/ML API. It uses a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline that scrapes and indexes authoritative Formula One sources — such as Wikipedia and the official F1 site — into a vector database (DataStax Astra DB). When a user asks a question, the system embeds the query, retrieves the most relevant chunks, and streams a GPT-5 answer enriched with this context. The chatbot is deployed with a sleek Formula One-themed UI, enabling real-time streaming responses. Its technical stack includes Next.js 15, Vercel AI SDK, LangChain text splitters, Puppeteer for scraping, and Astra DB for high-performance similarity search. Value & Use Cases: - Fans can quickly look up race results, driver stats, or rule explanations. - Journalists can explore historical data and technical regulations faster. - Teams & Analysts can leverage a conversational layer over structured F1 data. By combining GPT-5’s reasoning power with RAG, F1GPT reduces hallucinations and delivers trusted, up-to-date answers. This positions it as a unique sports-focused AI assistant, showing how AI can enhance fan engagement and knowledge accessibility in high-data domains like Formula One.
