AI Inventory Chatbot

An AI-powered simulation for grocery store inventory management using ChatGPT. Ask questions like "What's low on stock?" or "Forecast demand for milk next week" — it handles restock alerts, promotions for overstock, and basic predictions.

Features

• Natural language queries for inventory status
• Simulated database (in-memory or simple JSON/CSV)
• Restock alerts & overstock promotions
• Demand forecasting via AI prompts

Setup

1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/shore-xplorer/ai-inventory-chatbot.git
2. Install deps: pip install -r requirements.txt (include openai, maybe flask/streamlit for UI)

Known Issues & Improvements

• Crashes on long/complex prompts → Working on better error handling & token limiting.
