Problem
The current web content retrieval implementation extracts all text from a webpage, including navigation menus, footers, ads, and other non-essential content. This can waste tokens, dilute the relevant information, and make it harder for the LLM to focus on the important content.
Proposed Solution
Implement content filtering to focus on the main content of web pages:
- Use heuristics or machine learning to identify the main content of a webpage
- Filter out non-essential elements like navigation, footers, ads, etc.
- Prioritize the most relevant content for processing
Implementation Details
- Explore and integrate content extraction libraries like:
newspaper3k for news articles
readability-lxml for general web content
trafilatura for more advanced content extraction
- Add a new configuration option
WEB_CONTENT_FILTERING_ENABLED (default: true)
- Modify the
WebBaseLoader usage to apply content filtering
- Implement fallback mechanisms when content filtering fails
- Add logging to track the effectiveness of content filtering
Expected Outcome
- The bot will focus on the most relevant content from web pages
- Token usage will be more efficient
- Response quality will improve by reducing noise from non-essential content
- The bot will be able to handle a wider range of websites effectively
