📫 Let’s Connect

Always happy to collaborate, connect, or just talk about cool ideas.

AI Chat configuration

Create .env.local in the project root (this file is git-ignored) and add:

GEMINI_API_KEY=your_ai_studio_api_key
# Optional, override default model (defaults to gemini-pro)
GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-1.5-flash

Note: Do not prefix with quotes. Ensure there are no trailing spaces.

Run the health check to verify envs are loaded:

  • GET /api/chat/health returns { ok: true, model, keyPreview } if the key is present.
  • GET /api/chat/models lists supported model names for your key.

If you see API_KEY_INVALID errors, rotate your key in Google AI Studio and update .env.local. On Vercel or other hosting, set the same env vars in the dashboard.

“Aim high, then get halfway there.”
