# Hugging Face Spaces Deployment Guide

## Files Created for Deployment

1. **app.py** (root) - Main application file configured for Hugging Face Spaces
2. **requirements.txt** - Minimal dependencies needed for the app
3. **README.md** - Space metadata and description

## Deployment Steps

### 1. Prepare Your Repository

The current file structure should work. The app.py in the root will automatically detect files in `src/` or root directories.

### 2. Create a Hugging Face Space

1. Go to [Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces)
2. Click "Create new Space"
3. Choose:
   - **SDK**: Gradio
   - **Python version**: 3.10 or higher
   - **Hardware**: CPU (or GPU if needed)
   - **Visibility**: Public or Private

### 3. Push Your Code

You can either:

**Option A: Using Git**
```bash
# Initialize git if not already done
git init
git add app.py requirements.txt README.md src/
git commit -m "Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces"
git remote add origin https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE_NAME
git push -u origin main
```

**Option B: Using Hugging Face CLI**
```bash
pip install huggingface_hub
huggingface-cli login
# Then upload files through the web interface or use the API
```

### 4. Set Environment Variables

1. Go to your Space settings
2. Navigate to "Variables and secrets"
3. Add a new secret:
   - **Name**: `OPENAI_API_KEY`
   - **Value**: Your OpenAI API key

### 5. Verify File Structure

Make sure these files/folders are in your Space:
```
├── app.py
├── requirements.txt
├── README.md
└── src/
    ├── cv/
    │   ├── me.txt
    │   └── avatar.jpeg
    └── projects_images/
        ├── s_up.jpeg
        ├── llm.jpeg
        ├── bi.png
        └── robot.png
```

### 6. Wait for Build

The Space will automatically build and deploy. You can monitor the build logs in the Space interface.

## Troubleshooting

- **File not found errors**: Make sure all files in `src/` are committed and pushed
- **API key errors**: Verify `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set as a secret (not a variable)
- **Import errors**: Check that `requirements.txt` includes all necessary packages

## Notes

- The app.py automatically detects file paths (works with both `src/` and root-level files)
- Make sure `.env` file is NOT committed (it's in .gitignore)
- The app uses Hugging Face Space secrets for the API key
