Deployment on Vercel

The easiest way to deploy this app is to use the Vercel Platform:

1. Push your code to a GitHub repository
2. Import the project in Vercel
3. Add the following environment variables in the Vercel project settings:
   • GEMINI_API_KEY: Your Google Gemini API key
   • REPLICATE_API_TOKEN: Your Replicate API token (if using image generation)
4. Deploy!

Important Security Notes

• Never commit your API keys to GitHub! The .env.local file is in .gitignore for a reason.
• API keys are accessed via environment variables for security.
• The project uses Vercel's edge runtime for optimal performance.
