Implement a tool to query ORAssistant

[palaniappan-r]

Implemented the askbot and set_bothost commands under the ora tool. They can be used to make queries to ORAssistant, a LLM based conversational assistant for OpenROAD

askbot

This command takes an argument and passes it as a query to the hosted ORAssistant backend, by making a POST request using the libcurl library.

set_bothost

This command modifies ORAssistant backend's URL that's being queried by askbot. The modified URL is then saved to a file locally, for subsequent reference.

Why can't this run locally as an add-on rather than sending requests over the internet?

Why can't this run locally as an add-on rather than sending requests over the internet?

If the user chooses to the application locally, they'll have to follow instructions on ORAssistant's README, spin the backend server up, and use the set_bothost command to have the askbot command query the local server instead.

Currently, askbot queries a hosted version of ORAssistant by default, but I can change this if necessary.

Is there a data control plan or disclaimer if users are sending data over the internet? GDPR may even come into play here.
