🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)
• npm or yarn
• N8n installed globally
• Mistral API key

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd bounce-hackathon/bounce

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Set up N8n workflow:

   • Follow the instructions in N8N_SETUP.md
   • Import the workflow from n8n-workflow.json
   • Configure your Mistral API key

4. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

5. Start N8n (in a separate terminal):

   n8n start

6. Open your browser and navigate to the URL shown in the terminal (typically http://localhost:5173)

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the bounce directory (optional):

VITE_N8N_WEBHOOK_URL=http://localhost:5678/webhook/delay

If not set, the app defaults to http://localhost:5678/webhook/delay.

Mistral API Key

Configure your Mistral API key in the N8n workflow:

1. Open the "Call Mistral API" node
2. Update the Authorization header with your API key
3. Get your key from https://console.mistral.ai/

🎯 How It Works

1. User selects origin and destination
2. User clicks "Simulate Delay" button
3. Frontend sends request to N8n webhook
4. N8n workflow calls Mistral AI API
5. Mistral analyzes the delay and suggests an optimized route
6. Response is returned to frontend and displayed
