Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Freya135/AI-investment-Assistant.git

2. Create a Virtual Environment

4. Add Your Google API Key

You have two options:

Option A: Add to secrets.toml (recommended)
Create a file .streamlit/secrets.toml with:

GOOGLE_API_KEY = "your_google_api_key"

Option B: Enter it manually in the app when prompted.

Then open http://localhost:8501 in your browser.

How It Works

• The app formats this into a structured prompt.
• The Gemini API generates a JSON-formatted investment plan.
• The app parses the JSON and displays it beautifully using Streamlit components.
