# LusoSupport-PT Lite

🇵🇹 **The only purpose-built European Portuguese (pt-PT) customer support instruction dataset** — verified against the Hugging Face Hub, no direct competitor found.

**LusoSupport-PT** is a structured **European Portuguese (pt-PT)** customer support instruction dataset for LLM fine-tuning, prompting experiments, and support automation.

This **Lite** version contains **200 curated rows** — a representative free sample covering all 8 domains, 8 task types, and all 18 customer intents.

The full dataset (10 828 rows) is available for purchase on [Gumroad](https://ariazevedo.gumroad.com/l/lusosupport-pt) — see pricing below.

🔥 **Early Adopter Pricing:** the first 50 buyers on each tier lock in the launch price. After that, prices rise to €79 / €329.

## Why pt-PT?

Most publicly available Portuguese NLP datasets are either broad generic corpora, academic benchmarks, or heavily oriented toward **Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR)**. LusoSupport-PT fills the gap: a clean, structured instruction dataset that uses **European Portuguese vocabulary and register** throughout.

- ✅ `palavra-passe` (not `senha`)
- ✅ `telemóvel` (not `celular`)
- ✅ `fatura` (not `nota fiscal`)
- ✅ `encomenda` for orders

## Usage

### Load with 🤗 Datasets

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("ariazevedo/LusoSupport-PT", split="train")
print(ds[0])
```

### Fine-tuning (Alpaca format)

The full dataset ships with an Alpaca JSONL export. Convert directly:

```python
import json

with open("lusosupport_pt_lite.jsonl") as f:
    rows = [json.loads(l) for l in f]

alpaca = [
    {"instruction": r["instruction"], "input": r["input"], "output": r["output"]}
    for r in rows
]
```

### Intent classification example

```python
import json

row = ds.filter(lambda r: r["task_type"] == "intent_classification")[0]
print(row["input"])
# → "Mensagem do cliente: A minha encomenda não chegou."

result = json.loads(row["output"])
print(result)
# → {"intent": "order_status", "urgency": "medium", "domain": "ecommerce", "confidence": 0.95}
```
