ESAC (EQ-SANS Assisting Chatbot) is an advanced AI-powered application designed to streamline the workflow of neutron scattering experiments at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). This report documents the significant advancements in ESAC v1, which include the integration of a combined In-Context Learning (ICL) + Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capability, a robust integrated development environment, and standalone executable distribution. These enhancements address the limitations of the original version, making ESAC v1 a transformative tool for researchers. The report also discusses the technical challenges encountered during development and their resolution, highlighting the impact of these improvements on the neutron scattering research community.
