🛠 Troubleshooting

• If the app does not open, make sure Python is installed and added to your system path.
• If you see an error about missing packages, open a Windows command prompt in the app folder and type:
  pip install -r requirements.txt
• Slow responses may mean your internet connection is weak.
• If the app window closes immediately, double-click run_app.bat from File Explorer instead of running from command prompt directly.

📁 What’s Inside This Package?

• Python files (.py): The core AI code and logic.
• requirements.txt: List of Python packages needed.
• run_app.bat: A batch file to start the app.
• README.md: This file.
• Other supporting files for AI tools and data.

No setup beyond installing Python and packages is needed.

🔧 How It Works (Simple Explanation)

• Vector Search: The app converts your question into a form that computers can search quickly in local data.
• Wikipedia Tool: It fetches up-to-date facts from Wikipedia on demand.
• Language Model Routing: The app chooses the best AI language model based on your question type. This gives more accurate answers.

All these parts run quietly in the background. You only see the chat interface.
