Dubem - Your Personal AI Assistant

Dubem is an AI assistant powered by Google's Gemini AI. You can interact with it through a modern web interface or a simple command-line tool.

Configuration

Before you begin, you need to configure your Gemini API key.

1. Get a Gemini API Key:
   • Go to the Google AI for Developers website.
   • Create an API key in Google AI Studio.
2. Set the API Key as an Environment Variable:
   • Linux/macOS:

     export GEMINI_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'

   • Windows:

     $env:GEMINI_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'

   Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the key you obtained. For persistent storage, add this line to your shell's startup file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc, or your PowerShell profile).

Usage

You can use Dubem in two ways:

1. Web Application (Recommended)

The web application provides a user-friendly interface for interacting with the AI.

Installation:

1. Install the Python backend dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Install the JavaScript frontend dependencies:

   cd frontend
   npm install

Running the Application: You need to run two processes in separate terminals.

• Terminal 1: Start the Backend

  python -m dubem.app

  This will start the Flask server on http://127.0.0.1:5000.

• Terminal 2: Start the Frontend

  cd frontend
  npm start

  This will open the web application in your browser at http://localhost:5173.

2. Command-Line Tool

For quick queries, you can use the original command-line interface.

Installation:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage:

python -m dubem.main "Your coding question or prompt"

For example:

python -m dubem.main "How do I reverse a list in Python?"
