Looking for a Python Developer to Build an AI FAQ Assistant

I need a lightweight FAQ assistant that I can spin up on my own machine and query through a small local web page—nothing cloud-hosted or production-ready yet, just a clean, self-contained prototype. It must be written in Python and powered by the OpenAI API. The assistant should pull its answers from two places only: an editable JSON file that holds the core FAQs and a separate document containing my store policies. If a question falls outside those sources, the bot must openly admit it doesn’t know rather than inventing a response. Accuracy and transparency are crucial. I’m picturing a simple browser interface served locally (Flask or FastAPI are fine). After I launch the script, a page should open where I can type customer-style questions and immediately see the assistant’s replies. Because I’ll be iterating on the content, the JSON and policy file need to be easy to edit and reload without altering the code. Clear, step-by-step setup instructions are expected so I can install dependencies, add my OpenAI key, and run the project on Windows or macOS. Deliverables: • Complete, well-commented Python source code. • Editable FAQ JSON file and policy document template. • Minimal local web front-end served by the script. • README with setup, configuration, and usage directions. • Final package bundled in a ZIP archive. Timeline: 7 days from award. Preferred budget range: $250–$750. In your bid, let me know your technical approach, estimated hours, and any similar work you’ve done with OpenAI integrations or micro chatbots. I’m ready to move quickly on the right proposal.
