Alfresco integration with Private Generative AI

This project provides a collection of resources to enable the utilization of Private Generative AI in conjunction with Alfresco. Each service within the project is designed to operate locally, offering flexibility for usage in a development environment.

The primary scenarios covered by this project are centered around a document:

Summarize a document in any language and recognize various tags
Select a term from a provided list that characterizes a document
Answer to a question related to the document

In addition, it includes a use case related to images:

Provide a description of a picture

Requirements

Following tools can be used to build and deploy this project:

Docker 4.25 (with 20 GB of RAM allocated)
ollama
Java 17
Maven 3.9

Deploying this project in a production environment could require additional steps to ensure minimal performance and successful execution of actions

Description

The project includes following components:

genai-stack folder is using https://github.com/docker/genai-stack project to build a REST endpoint that provides AI services for a given document
alfresco folder includes a Docker Compose template to deploy Alfresco Community 23.1
alfresco-ai folder includes a set of projects
- alfresco-ai-model defines a custom Alfresco content model to store summaries, terms and prompts to be deployed in Alfresco Repository and Share App
- alfresco-ai-applier uses the Alfresco REST API to apply summaries or terms for a populated Alfresco Repository based on the application of the genai:summarizable aspect
- alfresco-ai-listener listens to messages and generates summaries, apply terms and reply answers for create or updated nodes in Alfresco Repository
compose.yaml file describes a deployment for Alfresco and GenAI Stack services using include directive

Content Model for Repository is available in genai-model-repo
- genai:summarizable aspect is used to store summary and tags generated with AI
- genai:promptable aspect is used to store the question provided by the user and the answer generated with AI
- genai:classifiable aspect is used to store the list of terms available for the AI to classify a document. It should be applied to a folder
- genai:classified aspect is used to store the term selected by the AI. It should be applied to a document
- genai:descriptable aspect is used to store the description generated with AI. It should be applied to a picture
Forms and configuration to handle custom Content Model from Share are available in genai-model-share
Additional configuration for Repository
- Since alfresco-ai-listener is listening to renditions, default event2 filter should be modified. Following configuration has been added to alfresco service in compose.yaml

-Drepo.event2.filter.nodeTypes="sys:*, fm:*, cm:failedThumbnail, cm:rating, rma:rmsite include_subtypes, usr:user"

Alfresco AI Applier

This Spring Boot application utilizes the Alfresco REST API to fetch all documents from a given Alfresco folder and apply a single action:

The Summarizing action involves retrieving documents from a folder using the Alfresco Search API, checking for the availability of PDF renditions, and updating document nodes with summaries obtained from the GenAi service.
The Classifying action retrieves documents from a folder using the Alfresco Search API, checks for the availability of PDF renditions, and updates document nodes by selecting a term, from a list of terms using the GenAi service.
The Describing actions retrieves pictures from a folder using the Alfresco Search API and updates image nodes with descriptions obtained from the GenAi service.

Alfresco AI Listener

This Spring Boot application is designed to capture summary, classification, or prompting aspect settings by listening to ActiveMQ events. The application then forwards the request to the GenAI Stack and subsequently updates the Alfresco Node using the REST API.

Use Case 1: Existing Content

Before proceeding, ensure that Docker, ollama, Java, and Maven are up and working:

$ ollama -v
ollama version is 0.1.31
$ docker -v
Docker version 25.0.3, build 4debf41
$ java -version
openjdk version "17.0.5" 2022-10-18
$ mvn -v
Apache Maven 3.9.6

Verify that compose-ai.yaml is commented in compose.yaml

$ cat compose.yaml
include:
  - genai-stack/compose.yaml
  - alfresco/compose.yaml
#  - alfresco/compose-ai.yaml

Start Docker containers for Alfresco and GenAI Stack

$ docker compose up

Once Alfresco is up & running, upload a number of documents to a given folder, for instance /app:company_home/app:shared. You may use the Legacy UI with default credentials (admin/admin) available in http://localhost:8080/share
Compile the Alfresco AI Applier (if required)

$ cd alfresco-ai/alfresco-ai-applier
$ mvn clean package

Run the Alfresco AI Applier to summarize the documents in a given folder

$ java -jar target/alfresco-ai-applier-0.8.0.jar \
  --applier.root.folder=/app:company_home/app:shared \
  --applier.action=SUMMARY

Once this command has finished, every document in the folder should include a populated Summary property (accessible in "view" mode)

Run the Alfresco AI Applier to classify the documents based on a list of terms in a specific folder

$ cd alfresco-ai/alfresco-ai-applier
$ java -jar target/alfresco-ai-applier-0.8.0.jar \
  --applier.root.folder=/app:company_home/app:shared \
  --applier.action=CLASSIFY \
  --applier.action.classify.term.list=English,Spanish,Japanese,Vietnamese

Once this command has finished, every document in the folder should include a populated Term property selected from the Term List (accessible in "view" mode)

Upload a number of pictures to an specific folder, for instance /app:company_home/app:shared/cm:pictures
Run the Alfresco AI Applier to summarize the documents, note that applier.root.folder uses this folder already created

$ cd alfresco-ai/alfresco-ai-applier
$ java -jar target/alfresco-ai-applier-0.8.0.jar \
  --applier.root.folder=/app:company_home/app:shared/cm:pictures \
  --applier.action=DESCRIBE
