### 🔄 Data Flow

1. **User Input**: Users interact with the Gradio interface, choosing between specific URL analysis or web discovery
2. **Processing Layer**: Application functions coordinate between frontend and backend services
3. **Modal Infrastructure**: Cloud-based functions handle scalable processing and API orchestration
4. **External Integrations**: Tavily provides web search capabilities while OpenAI delivers AI-powered analysis
5. **Analysis Pipeline**: Multiple analysis components work in parallel to extract insights
6. **Results Aggregation**: Individual analyses are synthesized into comprehensive reports and themes
7. **Output Delivery**: Structured results are returned to users through the intuitive interface

## 🛠️ Development & Deployment

### **Package Structure**

SitegeistAI follows Modal's best practices for multi-file projects with a proper Python package structure:

```
SitegeistAI/
├── sitegeist_core/              # Core package
│   ├── __init__.py             # Package initialization & exports
│   ├── analysis_components.py  # Modular analysis classes
│   └── modal_functions.py      # Modal functions & app definition
├── app.py                      # Gradio frontend application
├── deploy.py                   # Deployment configuration
├── test_package_components.py  # Package test suite
└── requirements.txt            # Dependencies
```

### **Deployment Commands**

```bash
# Test the package locally
python test_package_components.py

# Deploy to Modal (recommended method)
modal deploy -m sitegeist_core.modal_functions

# Alternative deployment method
modal deploy deploy.py

# Run tests on Modal
modal run -m sitegeist_core.modal_functions

# Run Gradio frontend locally
python app.py
```

### **Development Workflow**

1. **Local Development**: Test individual components with `test_package_components.py`
2. **Package Testing**: Verify imports and functionality work correctly
3. **Modal Deployment**: Deploy using the module mode (`-m`) for proper package handling
4. **Integration Testing**: Run Modal functions remotely to test full pipeline
