1. Navigate to the backend directory:

   cd api

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # For Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install backend dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Start the backend server:

   uvicorn app.main:app --reload

   The backend will run at http://127.0.0.1:8000.

1. Install frontend dependencies:

   npm install

2. Start the Next.js development server:

   npm run dev

   The frontend will run at http://localhost:3000.

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
SERPAPI_API_KEY=your_serpapi_api_key
UPLOAD_DIRECTORY=uploads/

Create a .env file in the root directory with:

NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000/

1. Frontend: Deploy the Next.js app using the Vercel CLI:

   vercel --prod

2. Backend: Configure vercel.json in the api/ directory:

   {
     "builds": [
       {
         "src": "main.py",
         "use": "@vercel/python"
       }
     ],
     "routes": [
       {
         "src": "/(.*)",
         "dest": "main.py"
       }
     ]
   }

   Deploy the FastAPI backend:

   vercel --prod
