This project is a Streamlit web application that allows users to chat with AI-powered personas of famous historical figures. The chatbot leverages Google's Gemini Pro API to generate responses that attempt to mimic the chosen figure's personality, perspective, and speaking style, but with access to knowledge up to the modern era.
- Multiple Personas: Chat with figures like Leonardo da Vinci, Napoleon Bonaparte, William Shakespeare, Marie Curie, Mahatma Gandhi, and Cleopatra VII.
- Modern Knowledge: Historical figures can discuss topics from any era, including modern times, while attempting to maintain their core persona.
- Chat Continuity: Conversation history is maintained separately for each figure during your session.
- Thematic Loading: Fun, persona-specific loading messages when switching figures.
- Easy-to-Use Interface: Built with Streamlit for a clean and interactive user experience.
- Configurable: Easily add new personas or modify existing ones by editing Markdown files.
