Tech Pastor

Tech Pastor is a Flutter project demonstrating how to use Google Gemini AI to create an intelligent chat interaction. The AI can be invoked in the chat using @techPastor, similar to the Meta AI feature in WhatsApp. This project is designed to show how to integrate and call an AI in a chat application.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Flutter SDK: Installation Guide
• Git: Installation Guide
• A code editor (recommended: VS Code)

Packages

• flutter_riverpod : State management
• flutter_chat_ui : Chat UI
• flutter_dotenv : .env
• uuid : custom gen
• google_generative_ai : Gemini AI

Cloning the Project

1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Clone the Git repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Docteur-Parfait/flutter_gemini_help_chat.git

3. Navigate to the project directory:

cd flutter_gemini_help_chat

Environment Setup

To run the project correctly, you need to add a .env file containing your Google Gemini AI API key. Follow these steps to set up your .env file:

1. In the project's root directory, create a file named .env.
2. Add the following line to the .env file, replacing YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY with your actual API key:

API_KEY=YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY

Running the Project

Once you have set up the .env file, you can run the Flutter project using the following commands:

flutter pub get
flutter run

Using Tech Pastor

In the chat application, you can invoke the Tech Pastor AI by typing @techPastor followed by your message. The AI will automatically detect that the message is addressed to it and will respond accordingly.
