🚀 Quick Start

1. Set up Python environment

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows
# or: source venv/bin/activate  # Mac/Linux

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Configure API key

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your OpenAI API key

3. Ingest knowledge base

python -m src.ingestion

4. Run the chat interface

streamlit run src/app.py

📊 Success Criteria

Metric	Target
Retrieval Relevance	≥80%
Answer Accuracy	≥70%
Response Time	<5 seconds
