Quote / Tip of the Day Agent — cwait (Week 8)

A simple agent that fetches quotes from a public API, uses an LLM to pick one and rephrase it as a "tip of the day", and displays it in a Gradio UI.

What it does

1. Fetch — Gets quotes from quotable.io (no API key).
2. Pick — An LLM chooses the most inspiring quote and rewrites it as a short tip (1–2 sentences).
3. Display — Gradio app with a Refresh button to get a new tip.

How to run

1. Ensure OPENAI_API_KEY is set (e.g. in a .env in the project root).
2. Open cwait-igniters-week8.ipynb and run all cells, or run from the week8 directory so agents can be imported:

   cd week8
   jupyter notebook community_contributions/cwait/cwait-igniters-week8.ipynb
   

3. Run the Gradio cell to launch the UI; click Refresh for a new tip.

Requirements

• Python with requests, openai, gradio, python-dotenv
• Course week8 agents on path (notebook sets this up when run from community_contributions/cwait)
