Stack

• React + Vite
• Groq API — llama-3.1-8b-instant model
• No backend — runs entirely in the browser

Why Groq?

Groq's inference speed is noticeably faster than most free-tier alternatives, which keeps the loading state brief and the experience snappy. The llama-3.1-8b-instant model is more than capable for structured prompt tasks like this.

Local Setup

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/interview-gen.git
cd interview-gen

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Add your Groq API key

Create a .env file in the project root (never commit this):

cp .env.example .env

Then open .env and replace your_groq_api_key_here with your actual key from console.groq.com.

4. Run locally

npm run dev

Deploying to Vercel

1. Push the repo to GitHub
2. Import the repo at vercel.com/new
3. In the Vercel dashboard, go to Settings → Environment Variables
4. Add VITE_GROQ_API_KEY with your Groq key
5. Deploy — Vercel handles the rest

⚠️ Note on API key exposure: This app calls the Groq API directly from the browser. For a production app, you'd proxy the request through a backend to keep the key server-side. For this assignment, the free-tier key has no sensitive data attached, so client-side is acceptable.
