darkglass 1.0.1

Structured AI system with emebeddable chatbot

Darkglass

Darkglass is a lightweight, embeddable chatbot designed for small colleges, providing prospective students with automated responses while logging interactions for administrative review.

Design

The system is built on a minimalist architecture, utilizing FastAPI and SQLite to provide zero-configuration deployment on lightweight Linux VMs without the overhead of external databases.

Configuration

Add a [gemini] section with your API key and optional model (defaults to gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview):

[gemini]
api_key = "mysecretkey"
model = "gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview"

You can also include a [context] section to provide a default prompt for the agent:

[context]
prompt = "You are a helpful agent for Acme College."

To enable a secure administrative dashboard, add a [google] section with a client_id to use for authentication.

[google]
client_id = "your-google-client-id.apps.googleusercontent.com"

To restrict dashboard access to specific addresses, add a [roles] section with an admins list. When admins is non-empty, only addresses listed will be allowed access.

[roles]
admins = ["[e-mail]", "[e-mail]"]
