Project Title: AI Chatbot with DeepThink Mode and E-Commerce Website for Historical Religious Texts Library and Sales

Category: Web Development, Artificial Intelligence, E-Commerce, Python

Budget: $2,000 - $2,800 (updated to account for added features like deepthink mode, PDF generation enhancements, user permissions for modes, hardware adjustments, and additional recommendations such as multimodal support and advanced RAG optimizations)

Project Type: One-time project

Job Type: Remote

Description:

We are seeking an experienced Python developer with expertise in AI, web development, e-commerce integration, and user authentication to build a website-based AI chatbot and sales system for a collection of approximately 5,000 historical religious text PDFs (text-searchable, ~3-15 GB initially, with growth of ~100 PDFs/year up to 10,000). The platform will allow users (e.g., scholars, enthusiasts) to search the entire archive, query the chatbot for topics, authors, Bible verses, or recommendations, and purchase digital PDFs ($5 each) or custom-generated content (e.g., sermons, $20 each) via Stripe. It will also support sales of physical books where available, including checkout with shipping options, user logins for personalized access, coupon codes, and permissions for limited free downloads. PDFs will be tagged by status (e.g., free, for sale, reprint, recreated/new content, price tier) to control access and pricing.

The chatbot must include a configurable "DeepThink" mode (similar to AI settings in tools like Grok), which enables deeper analysis across all 5,000 PDFs to produce intelligent, well-crafted documentation, thoughts, answers, ideas, and resource recommendations. This mode should generate downloadable PDFs of these outputs, which can be offered for free, as part of a subscription, or for a fee (configurable in the backoffice admin panel). Access to DeepThink can be set to free for all users, limited to certain user permissions, or paywalled for others. The LLM must be highly intelligent, producing polished and insightful results, with a standard mode for quick responses alongside DeepThink.

To address data security concerns, the project will start with a prototype using a batch of 50 most difficult/challenging PDFs (provided securely), allowing testing of processing, indexing, and chatbot performance locally without full access to the library. The system must include user-friendly admin tools for non-technical users to add, tag, and re-index new PDFs independently (e.g., upload forms with automatic processing), enabling us to start with ~500 PDFs and handle the rest ourselves for long-term maintenance without ongoing developer involvement. All operations must remain local on our hardware to protect the PDFs, with no cloud storage of sensitive content.

The system will run on a GEEKOM IT13 Mini PC 2025 (13th Gen Intel i9-13900HK, upgraded to 64GB RAM, 2TB NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Pro), use open-source tools, and prioritize simplicity, as I have no coding experience and need a frustration-free setup with clear documentation. Freelancer proposals should include alternatives for tools/models (e.g., newer LLMs like DeepSeek R1 or Llama 4 for better reasoning) while ensuring Windows compatibility and local deployment.

Project Objectives:

- Develop a responsive website (Django Templates) with a chatbot interface (including DeepThink mode toggle), searchable PDF library catalog, user accounts, and integrated e-commerce for digital and physical sales.
- Build an AI chatbot using an intelligent LLM (e.g., DeepSeek R1, Llama 4, or Mistral 7B 4-bit as fallback), with a standard mode for quick queries and "DeepThink" mode for advanced, multi-pass reasoning (e.g., chain-of-thought prompting) to deeply analyze the full archive, generate thoughtful responses, ideas, and recommendations, and produce well-crafted PDF documentation (e.g., compiled insights or reports).
- Implement a tagging system for PDFs to categorize them (e.g., free, for sale at specific price, reprint, recreated/new content, hardcopy available, copyright status) and enforce protections like paid downloads or limited free copies. Include auto-tagging suggestions via AI during uploads.
- Create user logins with permissions (e.g., admin for adding/tagging PDFs and configuring modes/fees, user for searching/buying, guest for limited access), coupon codes for discounts, and secure checkout for digital downloads (time-limited links), physical books (with shipping fields, merchant processing via Stripe), and DeepThink-generated PDFs (free, subscription-based, or fee-based).
- Process ~5,000 PDFs (starting with 50 for prototype): chunk into 10-20 page sections for better accuracy, extract text, clean OCR noise, generate embeddings (via cloud GPUs if needed for initial setup only), and index for efficient search and chatbot retrieval, ensuring DeepThink can handle comprehensive analysis across the entire collection with hybrid search (semantic + keyword).
- Add multimodal support for PDFs with images/tables/handwriting using LangChain and vision-capable models to analyze non-text elements.
- Include features like usage tracking for analytics (e.g., popular queries/topics), automated backups, error handling (e.g., fallback to standard mode), mobile accessibility (e.g., progressive web app, text-to-speech), and optional xAI API integration for cloud fallback (details at https://x.ai/api).
- Ensure local, encrypted hosting with optional VPS and HTTPS security, compatible with Windows 11 Pro. Add disclaimers for ethical/religious content and GDPR compliance for user data.
- Deliver non-technical documentation and a handover session for easy management, including how to add new PDFs (via admin dashboard without code), update tags, configure DeepThink access/pricing, manage users, handle sales, perform backups/re-indexing, and troubleshoot.

Scope and Deliverables:

Website:
- User Authentication: Secure login/registration system with roles (admin, registered user, guest). Registered users get personalized features like saved searches, limited free downloads (e.g., 5 free PDFs per month for certain tagged books), and access to DeepThink based on permissions or payment.
- Chatbot Interface: Text input for queries (e.g., "Find passages on grace by Augustine" or "Provide deep thoughts on humility in the Bible with recommendations"), with a toggle for "DeepThink" mode. Standard mode for quick responses (~1-3s); DeepThink for in-depth analysis, ideas, resource pointers, and generation of polished PDF outputs (~5-15s). Display results with snippets, PDF references, previews, and buttons to download (if free), purchase (digital/physical), or generate/pay for DeepThink PDFs.
- PDF Library Catalog: Searchable archive of all PDFs with filters (e.g., by author, topic, Bible verse, tag: free/for sale/reprint/new content/hardcopy available/copyright). Each PDF entry shows metadata (title, author, description, price if applicable), preview text, and purchase options. Include hybrid search for precise queries (e.g., exact Bible verses).
- E-Commerce Features:
- Digital sales: Stripe checkout for paid PDFs, custom-generated content, or DeepThink PDFs (e.g., $10-20 for advanced reports), with time-limited download links, coupon code support, and subscriptions for recurring DeepThink access.
- Physical sales: For PDFs tagged as "hardcopy available," integrate checkout with shipping address fields, calculated shipping costs (e.g., via API like Shippo or USPS), and merchant processing via Stripe.
- Tagging System: Admin dashboard to tag PDFs (e.g., free, $5 digital, $20 physical + shipping, reprint, new/edited content, copyright status) and set permissions (e.g., protect edited books from free download). Include AI-assisted auto-tagging.
- DeepThink Configuration: Backoffice settings to make DeepThink free for all, permission-based (e.g., premium users only), subscription-gated, or fee-per-use; track usage and generate reports (e.g., popular topics like Bible verses).
- Custom Content Form: Input for prompts (e.g., "Generate a deep analysis on grace from Wesley's works as a PDF"), with DeepThink mode option, Stripe payment if applicable, and delivery via time-limited link.
- Responsive Design: Mobile/desktop compatible, with intuitive search, navigation, progressive web app features for offline catalog browsing, and accessibility (e.g., text-to-speech for religious texts).

Back-End:
- Data Processing: Chunk PDFs into 10-20 page sections; extract text (pdfplumber), clean OCR noise and religious terms (spacy, spellchecker), generate embeddings (sentence-transformers via RunPod for initial setup only), index with Qdrant or Pinecone (preferred over FAISS for scalability and hybrid search). Include tagging/copyright metadata in the index for filtered searches (e.g., only show free PDFs to guests) and ensure DeepThink can process the full 5,000+ PDFs for comprehensive insights. Add multimodal RAG for images/tables using LangChain with vision models.
- Chatbot: LlamaIndex or LangChain pipeline with an intelligent LLM (e.g., DeepSeek R1 or Llama 4 4-bit for better context/reasoning; use Ollama or LM Studio for local management). Standard mode for quick queries; DeepThink should use advanced techniques (e.g., multi-query retrieval, self-reflection) to produce intelligent, well-crafted outputs like documented thoughts, question answers, ideas, and PDF recommendations/generations.
- E-Commerce and Users: Flask API for payments, Stripe integration (including coupons and subscriptions), SQLite/PostgreSQL for user data, purchase history, inventory (e.g., track physical stock), DeepThink usage, and analytics. Implement protections for edited/new content (e.g., watermarking, DRM, or PDF encryption) and PDF generation (reportlab for DeepThink outputs). Include automated scripts for backups (e.g., to local/external drive) and re-indexing.
- Hosting: Local on GEEKOM IT13 Mini PC 2025 (Windows 11 Pro, 64GB RAM) or VPS (e.g., DigitalOcean, ~$5-$20/month for optional fallback), HTTPS via Let's Encrypt. Support for adding new PDFs via admin upload forms (no code needed), with automatic chunking, processing, auto-tagging, and re-indexing. Ensure compatibility with Windows (e.g., cross-platform tools). Optional eGPU support if hardware allows for faster inference.

- Confirm ability to work with provided scripts, implement tagging/protections/DeepThink/multimodal, ensure LLM intelligence, propose tool alternatives (e.g., Qdrant, DeepSeek), sign NDA, not retain PDFs, and deliver non-technical documentation.
- Include hourly rate (~$35-$45/hour preferred) or fixed price (~$2,500-$3,500).

Next Steps:

- Shortlist candidates within ~1-3 days.
- Interview ~1-2 freelancers via Upwork (discuss scripts, timeline, added features like multimodal/DeepThink, secure PDF handling, Windows setup, and user-led maintenance).
- Hire and start within ~1-3 days of hardware delivery (post-NDA).
- Client to provide initial 50 PDFs securely, sample queries, RunPod funding, and Grok conversation PDF.

Conversion & Value Optimization: Structure and write content that effectively balances clear instructional value, builds authority, and persuasively leads users toward purchasing our premium courses.

Content Structure for Visibility: Optimize all content for high visibility in organic search (SEO) and easy parsing by generative AI models.

💡 Required Profile (Must Haves)
We are prioritizing speed, strategic insight, and full-time commitment over expensive, slow contractors.

Links to 2–3 LIVE landing pages or sales pages you have structured and written copy for. (We need to see demonstrable, real-world conversion strategy.)

Your desired hourly rate within the stated range ($12 – $25 USD/hr).

Answer to the Mandatory Screening Question below.

I would like to investigate if a potential business partner's Google reviews are actually truthful and accurate or whether they are a scam. As I am in the process of entering into a significant contract with them, I would like to confirm their level of transparency.

I have no idea how to do that. Allegedly, their Google reviews are Australian. I would like someone to help me understand whether they are real or not.

It may involve deep analysis, testing and trialling their process.

I have a brand-new Windows game that needs a quick first-look before I push it to a wider alpha audience. Your task is simple and should take no more than an hour from start to finish.

Here’s what I need you to do: download and install the current build (it’s a lightweight ZIP, no installer), launch the game, note how long the initial load takes, and then play freely for roughly 30–40 minutes. While you play, keep an eye out for anything that feels off—visual glitches, frame hiccups, audio quirks, crashes, or unusual loading stalls.

Right after your session, send me a short, informal report. A few paragraphs or bullet points are fine as long as you cover:

• General thoughts on gameplay, graphics, and overall performance
• Exact wording or screenshots of any error messages, bugs, or crashes
• Your hardware specs (Windows version, CPU, GPU, RAM) so I can reproduce issues if needed

That’s it. No deep analysis or lengthy survey—just honest, concise feedback delivered the same day you test. If this sounds like something you can squeeze in, I’ll send you the download link and we can get started right away.

Skills: C Programming, Windows Desktop, Game Design, Mac OS, Software Testing, C++ Programming, Game Development, Video Game Coaching, Game Testing

We use Stripe to process one-time, non-recurring online payments for a digital service.

We’re seeing a high number of issuer declines on US cards (do_not_honor, generic_decline) even though Stripe has confirmed our technical setup and MCC are correct.

We’re looking for a Stripe/acquiring specialist who can help us identify the real cause of these declines and guide us toward a practical, effective solution.

The items below are possible improvement areas — but we’re not assuming any of them are the actual fix. We want someone who can diagnose the issue end-to-end and provide clear direction.

What we need:

Deep analysis of our Stripe payment flow and authorization data

Diagnosis of issuer decline patterns for US cards

Review of billing details strategy (AVS, address, metadata, etc.)

Evaluation of retry logic, descriptors, wallets, and risk signals

Assessment of whether acquiring setup or cross-border routing is contributing

Advice on whether local acquiring / US setup could materially improve approval rates

Most importantly: identifying what will move the needle for our one-time payments

Ideal candidate:

Experience with Stripe, acquirers, or card-network optimization

Preferably ex-Stripe / ex-Adyen / ex-Checkout.com or similar

Demonstrated results improving approval rates for digital or non-recurring merchants

Deliverable:

A clear, actionable set of recommendations (quick wins + structural fixes)

Please apply if you think you can help us with this cause.

The forecasting framework must include a minimum 5-year projection, with up to 10-year projections expected (and preferred), incorporating revenue modeling, cost structures, user analytics, payout modeling, reserve adequacy, and scenario analysis.
