Can someone please hint me in the direction of getting paper-qa2 to function as a streamlit app?

Hey @redblob2225! I'm here to help you out with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have. Just waiting for a human maintainer? I can assist you in the meantime.

To get paper-qa2 functioning as a Streamlit app, you can follow these steps:

1. Install Dependencies:
   Ensure you have all the necessary dependencies installed, including Streamlit and paper-qa2.

   pip install streamlit pymupdf aiohttp anyio fhaviary[llm] html2text httpx litellm numpy pybtex pydantic-settings pydantic rich setuptools tantivy tenacity tiktoken

2. Set Up Environment Variables:
   Make sure to set the required environment variables for paper-qa2.

   export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
   export CROSSREF_API_KEY=your_crossref_api_key
   export SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY=your_semantic_scholar_api_key

3. Create the Streamlit App:
   Create a new Python file (e.g., app.py) and set up the Streamlit interface. Here is an example of how you can integrate paper-qa2 with Streamlit:

   import streamlit as st
   import asyncio
   from paperqa import Docs, Settings, ask
   
   async def main():
       doc_paths = ["myfile.pdf", "myotherfile.pdf"]
       docs = Docs()
   
       for doc in doc_paths:
           await docs.aadd(doc)
   
       question = st.text_input("Enter your question:")
       if st.button("Get Answer"):
           answer = await docs.aquery(question)
           st.write(answer.formatted_answer)
   
   asyncio.run(main())

4. Run the Streamlit App:
   Run your Streamlit app using the following command:

   streamlit run app.py

This setup will create a basic Streamlit app that allows you to input a question and get an answer using paper-qa2. For more advanced features, you can expand the Streamlit interface and handle additional functionalities like error handling and logging as described in the paper-qa2 documentation ^[1][2][3].
