API Requirements

Google API Key

This application requires a Google API key to function properly:

• Purpose: Powers the AI language model capabilities for natural language understanding and generation
• How to obtain: Visit Google AI Studio to create an API key
• Setup: Add your API key to the .env file in the project root:

  GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
  

Starting the Application

You can start the application in several ways:

Option 1: Development Mode (Separate Server and Client)

Run the development server with:

npm run dev

This will start both the backend server and frontend client in development mode with hot reloading.

Option 2: Using the Start Script (Combined Server and Client)

For a simpler startup process, use:

node start-app.js

Or use the provided batch file (Windows):

start.bat

This script will:

1. Start the backend server
2. Start the frontend client
3. Provide colored console output for both processes
4. Automatically handle process cleanup on exit

The application will be available at:

• Frontend: http://localhost:3000
• Backend API: http://localhost:5000

Batch Files (Windows)

The project includes two batch files for easy setup and execution on Windows systems:

install.bat

This batch file automates the installation process:

• Checks if Node.js is installed
• Creates necessary directories
• Installs server dependencies
• Installs client dependencies

To use it, simply double-click the file or run it from the command prompt:

install.bat

start.bat

This batch file provides an easy way to start the application:

• Checks if Node.js is installed
• Runs the start-app.js script which launches both server and client
• Provides clear console output

To use it, simply double-click the file or run it from the command prompt:

start.bat
