Generative Assistant

This project is a simple Generative Assistant application built with Streamlit that allows users to upload images or enter text prompts to receive AI-generated summaries or responses. The app uses Google’s generative AI model, configured via the google-generativeai Python package, to process and respond to user inputs.

Features

• Text Prompt Responses: Enter any text prompt, and the model generates an AI-powered response.
• Document Interaction: Upload an image/doc along with a prompt, and the app provides a summarized response.
• Interactive UI: A simple and user-friendly interface for uploading files and receiving outputs.

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Google Generative AI API Key

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Chayan-03/Build_with_AI.git
   cd generative-assistant

2. Install Dependencies:

   Ensure you have pip installed, then run:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   pip install -U google-generativeai

3. Set Up Environment Variables:

   • Create a .env file in the root directory.

   • Add your Google Generative AI API key:

     API_KEY=your_google_genai_api_key
     

4. Run the Application:

   Start the Streamlit app with the following command:

   streamlit run app.py

   Replace app.py with the actual file name of the main script if it differs.

5. Access the Application:

   Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:<port_number> to interact with the app.

Using the Docker Image

Instead of manually installing dependencies, you can use Docker to run the application. The prebuilt image is available on Docker Hub.

1. Pull the Docker Image from Docker Hub

   docker chayan03/generative-assistant:latest

2. Run the Docker Container by providing your Gemini API key as -

   docker run -p 8501:8501 -e API_KEY="your_google_api_key" your_dockerhub_username/generative-assistant

   Now, open your browser and go to http://localhost:8501 to access the app.

Usage

1. Text Prompts:

   • Enter a question or prompt in the text area and click Submit. The app will display an AI-generated response.

2. Doc Summarization:

   • Upload an image/doc and enter a related prompt, then click Submit. The app will provide a summary based on the content of the image and prompt.
