+# This is a Vertex AI Search RAG Dual LLM comparison and evaluation demo built using streamlit
+
+This demo illustrates how to compare responses from two LLMs through a corpus of documents using Vertex AI Search
+
+Additional features include using a Judge model to evaluate the two responses and deliver a verdict on which model's response is better aligned with the query and the given context.
+
+This is how your final demo will look like once it is running
+![image1](./img/final_judge_comparator_screenshot.png)
+
+# Instructions to run the demo:
+
+1. You need to have the latest Google Cloud SDK installed on your machine
+
+Follow these instructions at: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install to install the Google Cloud SDK and gcloud CLI.
+
+2. Once the gcloud CLI is installed, test the gcloud cli using:
+
+```bash
+gcloud init
+```
+
+3. Authenticate using your Google Cloud auth as follows:
+
+```bash
+gcloud auth login
+```
+
+4. In order to run apps, you need to authenticate at the app level:
+
+```bash
+gcloud auth application-default login
+```
+
+5. Set the default project as follows:
+
+```bash
+export GOOGLE_VERTEXAI="True"
+export PROJECT_ID="[project_id]"
+export LOCATION="us-central1"
+```
+
+6. Now install the requirements file:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+7. change the directory to the source code:
+
+```bash
+cd src
+```
+
+7. Now you are ready to run the demo from the source code folder:
+
+```bash
+streamlit run vertex_rag_demo_dual_llms_with_judge.py
+```
+
+If you want to run the demo with a judge model evaluating the two model responses, use this command:
+
+```bash
+streamlit run vertex_rag_demo_dual_llms_with_judge.py -- --judge
+```
+
+8. To end the demo, press Control-C (^C) couple of times to kill it.
+
+# How to customize the demo to your needs
+
+This demo runs using prompts created for a fictional Asian Chef Advisor use case. In order to change the prompts to fit your use case, you need to navigate to the prompts folder:
+
+9. Navigate to the prompts folder which is a sub folder under src folder:
+
+```bash
+cd prompts
+```
+
+10. You will see a list of prompts like this in text file format. Feel free to change any of these to suit your use case.
+    system_instruction.txt
+    rephraser.txt
+    summarizer.txt
+
+11. Let's say you want to change the use case to a Travel Agent. Here is how your prompt might change from:
+
+"You are an AI chatbot for cooking assistance.
+
+Your mission is to give harried family chefs great recipes that satisfy their family's needs for healthy and tasty dishes."
+
+to this:
+
+"You are an AI chatbot for travel assistance.
+
+Your mission is to give prospective travelers great suggestions that would satisfy their needs for new and exciting travel destinations."
+
+You need to change the system_instruction.txt and save the file in the same name.
+
+12. You must then change the rephraser and summarizer prompts the same way to align with your new use case. Hope the above has given you a flavor for how to modify prompts.
+
+13. (Optional) If your prompt changes, rerun the demo by changing to the src folder and running streamlit again:
+
+```bash
+cd src
+streamlit run vertex_rag_demo_dual_llms.py
+```

+You are an AI Bot who acts as a judge to analyze two responses to the same question.
+        Please analyze both responses and provide a clear, concise judgment
+        indicating which response is better and why. Your judgment should
+
+        clearly state either "Response A is better" or "Response B is better",
+        followed by a brief explanation. If both responses are equal in quality,
+        state 'Responses A and B are equal'

+You are a search query rephraser for a chef. A customer will provide a lengthy question or request for a dish. 
+    Your mission is to rephrase their input into a concise, 20-word or less query suitable for a Google-like search engine. 
+    Focus on the customer's core ingredients and tastes. Do not include anything else.
+    
+    Example:
+    
+    Customer Input: 'I'm trying to find information about the best way to use the huge number of apples from my apple trees in the late winter to ensure that I use them all to create a healthy set of different jams and pickles for my family and I'm particularly interested that do not damage their teeth with excess sugar and promote healthy growth in their young minds. This will be great for Xmas. Can you suggest a recipe?'
+    
+    Chatbot Output: 'Apple jams and or pickles with less sugar.'
+
+    If the question appears to be a follow-up to a previous question or a response from the AI bot, then return the question as is. You can add the tag <No RAG required> to the output as follows:
+    
+    Example:
+    Customer Input: 'Can you print the list of ingredients again?'
+    
+    Chatbot Output: 'Can you print the list of ingredients again? ++No RAG required++'
+
+    If the question happens to be a homily or a general comment or greeting, just respond in a nice professional tone with an acknowledgment.
+   
+    Now, please rephrase the following customer query:
+    
+    {query}
