Making a question answering chatbot based on the files I upload into python.

[Joejones]

I am using the coding below to get answers from files I upload. The problem is when I run the code it says this "Ask a question based on the text files (type 'quit' to exit): ". When I type something as a questions and hit enter it just says "Ask a question based on the text files (type 'quit' to exit): " again. The only thing that will get it to do anything is when I type "quit" and hit enter. Was wondering if anyone knows why this is happening. I am very new to coding so not good at figuring out what the issue is. It will reference the files when I hit "quit" but it doesn't work well because it is just answering questions based on the word "quit". Also I have taken out the api key and my file path in the code but when I running it that stuff is in the code.

import os
import openai

def read_files(folder_path: str) -> str:
    all_text = ""
    for filename in os.listdir(folder_path):
        if filename.endswith(".txt"):
            with open(os.path.join(folder_path, filename), "r") as file:
                all_text += file.read() + "\n"
    return all_text

def ask_question(openai_api_key: str, text: str, question: str) -> str:
    openai.api_key = openai_api_key

    response = openai.Completion.create(
    engine="text-davinci-002",
    prompt=f"Answer the following question based on these texts:\n\n{text}\n\nQuestion: {question} \n ",
    temperature=0.5,
    max_tokens=100,
    top_p=1,
    frequency_penalty=0,
    presence_penalty=0,
)

    answer = response.choices[0].text.strip()
    return answer

def main():
    folder_path = r"my file path"
    openai_api_key = "my key"

    all_text = read_files(folder_path)

    while True:
        question = input("Ask a question based on the text files (type 'quit' to exit): ")
        if question.lower() == "quit":
            break

    answer = ask_question(openai_api_key, all_text, question)
    print(f"Answer: {answer}")

if __name__ == "__main__":

    main()

Do you have an indentation error?

    while True:
        question = input("Ask a question based on the text files (type 'quit' to exit): ")
        if question.lower() == "quit":
            break
 
    answer = ask_question(openai_api_key, all_text, question)  # This is not in the while loop.
    print(f"Answer: {answer}")
