# Project Chimera: Real-Time Global Analysis Engine

[![Hugging Face Spaces](https://img.shields.io/badge/%F0%9F%A4%97%20Hugging%20Face-Spaces-blue)](https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_HF_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE_NAME) <!-- Replace with your actual Space link -->

Project Chimera aims to be a powerful tool for understanding complex global and local issues in near real-time. It leverages the advanced reasoning capabilities of Google's Gemini API, combined with real-time data fetched via SERP (Search Engine Results Page) APIs and potentially other data sources, to synthesize information, identify patterns, predict outcomes, and even brainstorm potential solutions or opportunities far beyond human capacity alone.

This implementation provides a web interface using Gradio, hosted on Hugging Face Spaces, allowing users to pose complex queries and receive AI-driven analysis based on current information.

## Key Features

*   **AI-Powered Analysis:** Utilizes the Gemini API for deep understanding, reasoning, and synthesis of information.
*   **Real-Time Data Integration:** Fetches current search results via a SERP API to ground the analysis in up-to-date information.
*   **Modular Design:** Code is structured for clarity and potential expansion (API clients, orchestration logic, UI).
*   **Asynchronous Operations:** Uses `asyncio` and `httpx` for efficient handling of API calls.
*   **Web Interface:** Simple and interactive UI provided by Gradio.
*   **Configurable:** API keys are managed via environment variables/Hugging Face secrets.
*   **Extensible:** Designed to potentially incorporate more diverse APIs (weather, financial, scientific, etc.) in the future.

## Technology Stack

*   **Language:** Python 3.9+
*   **AI Model:** Google Gemini API (via `google-generativeai` library)
*   **Real-time Data:** SERP API (e.g., SerpApi via `httpx` or their library)
*   **Web UI:** Gradio
*   **HTTP Client:** `httpx` (for asynchronous requests)
*   **Configuration:** `python-dotenv` (for local development), Hugging Face Secrets (for deployment)
*   **Deployment:** Hugging Face Spaces

## Setup and Installation

### 1. Local Development

1.  **Clone the repository:**
    ```bash
    git clone <your-repository-url>
    cd project-chimera
    ```
2.  **Create a virtual environment:**
    ```bash
    python -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
    ```
3.  **Install dependencies:**
    ```bash
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    ```
4.  **Configure API Keys:**
    *   Create a file named `.env` in the project root directory (`project-chimera/`).
    *   Add your API keys to this file:
        ```ini
        # .env
        GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here
        SERPAPI_API_KEY=your_serpapi_key_here
        # Add other API keys if you integrate more services
        ```
    *   **IMPORTANT:** Ensure `.env` is listed in your `.gitignore` file to prevent accidentally committing your keys.
5.  **Run the application:**
    ```bash
    python app.py
    ```
    The Gradio interface should be accessible locally (usually at `http://127.0.0.1:7860`).

### 2. Deployment on Hugging Face Spaces

1.  **Create a Hugging Face Account:** If you don't have one, sign up at [huggingface.co](https://huggingface.co/).
2.  **Create a New Space:**
    *   Go to "Spaces" -> "Create new Space".
    *   Give it a name (e.g., `project-chimera`).
    *   Select "Gradio" as the Space SDK.
    *   Choose hardware (CPU basic should be sufficient initially).
    *   Create the Space.
3.  **Upload Files:**
    *   Upload all project files (`app.py`, `requirements.txt`, the entire `src` directory, `.gitignore`, `README.md`) to your Space repository using Git or the web interface.
    *   **DO NOT upload your `.env` file.**
4.  **Set Repository Secrets:**
    *   In your Space settings, navigate to the "Repository secrets" section.
    *   Add the following secrets:
        *   `GEMINI_API_KEY`: Your Google Gemini API Key.
        *   `SERPAPI_API_KEY`: Your SERP API Key.
        *   *(Add others if needed)*
    *   These secrets will be securely injected as environment variables when your Space runs.
5.  **Deploy:** Hugging Face Spaces will automatically install the dependencies from `requirements.txt` and run `app.py`. Monitor the build logs for any issues. Once built, your application will be live at `https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE_NAME`.

## How it Works (Architecture Overview)

1.  **User Input:** The user enters a query into the Gradio interface.
2.  **Orchestration:** `app.py` passes the query to the `run_analysis` function in `src/chimera/core/orchestrator.py`.
3.  **API Calls:** The orchestrator determines which APIs to call based on the query (currently focused on SERP). It uses functions from `src/chimera/api_clients/` (e.g., `serp_client.py`) to fetch data asynchronously.
4.  **Data Synthesis:** Results from the APIs are collected and formatted by `src/chimera/utils/data_processing.py`.
5.  **AI Analysis:** A carefully crafted prompt, containing the original user query and the formatted data from APIs, is sent to the Gemini API via `src/chimera/api_clients/gemini_client.py`.
6.  **Response:** Gemini generates an analysis based on the prompt.
7.  **Output:** The orchestrator returns the Gemini analysis to `app.py`, which displays it in the Gradio interface.

## Usage

1.  Navigate to the running application (local URL or Hugging Face Space URL).
2.  Enter your complex query or analysis request in the text box. Examples:
    *   "Analyze recent news about quantum computing breakthroughs and their potential impact."
    *   "What are the key challenges and opportunities mentioned in recent search results regarding vertical farming?"
    *   "Summarize the latest developments concerning supply chain issues in the semiconductor industry based on recent news."
3.  Click the "Analyze" button.
4.  Wait for the system to fetch data and generate the analysis. The result will appear in the "Chimera Analysis" section.

## Future Enhancements / Roadmap

*   **Integrate More APIs:** Add clients for weather, financial markets, scientific databases (NASA, PubMed), geospatial data, etc.
*   **Sophisticated Query Interpretation:** Use an LLM pre-processing step to better understand the user query and determine which APIs are relevant.
*   **Caching:** Implement caching for API results and potentially Gemini analyses to reduce costs and latency for repeated queries.
*   **User Feedback Loop:** Allow users to rate the quality of the analysis to help refine prompts.
*   **Enhanced Data Processing:** Improve the formatting and synthesis of data before sending it to Gemini.
*   **Visualization:** Integrate basic charting or mapping if relevant APIs are added.
*   **Error Handling:** Make error reporting more granular and user-friendly.
*   **Alerting:** Add functionality to monitor specific topics and trigger alerts based on significant findings.
