Exposing API - Multiprocessing error

[MoamenAbdelwahed]

I've created a main.app file as described in README file

from megabots import bot, create_api

app = create_api(bot("qna-over-docs"))

then I just run uvicorn to get this issue

Using model: gpt-3.5-turbo

I see. So thge bot tries to find an index to answer questions from. So heres what you should do.

Create a folder called index and place some .txt or .pdf files in there. Then the bot will read this and be able to answer questions from these docs.

Maybe I should make the error better.
