Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:

• transmit, to a terminal apparatus, screen information for displaying a workflow creation screen for creating a workflow according to an input from a user via the terminal apparatus;
• create, according to the input to the workflow creation screen displayed on the terminal apparatus, the workflow defining contents of processes;
• and
• execute the workflow,
• the workflow including:
• a process to receive an input of question data:
• a process to refer to a term dictionary database to perform a determination process to determine whether a term is included in the question data, the term dictionary database storing term information in which the term is associated with information indicating a meaning of the term;
• a process to acquire, in a case that it is determined that the term is included in the question data, the information indicating the meaning of the term;
• a process to transmit a search request to a file database, the search request including the information indicating the meaning of the term included in the question data and the question data, the file database storing a file serving as an information source of answer data to the question data;
• a process to generate a prompt requesting generation of the answer data based on the file identified by searching the file database according to the search request;
• a process to output the prompt to a large-scale language model;
• a process to acquire response data output by the large-scale language model based on the prompt;
• and
• a process to output the response data as the answer data.

An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• receiving an input of question data;
• referring to a term dictionary database to perform a determination process to determine whether a term is included in the question data, the term dictionary database storing term information in which each of a plurality of terms is associated with information indicating a meaning of the term;
• acquiring, in a case that it is determined that the term is included in the question data, the information indicating the meaning of the term from the term dictionary database;
• transmitting a search request to a file database, the search request including the information indicating the meaning of the term included in the question data and the question data, the file database storing a file serving as an information source of answer data;
• generating a prompt requesting generation of the answer data based on the file identified by searching the file database according to the search request;
• outputting the prompt to a large-scale language model;
• and
• outputting the answer data output by the large-scale language model based on the prompt to a terminal apparatus.
