This Project was Given as a assignment by SETTYL INC This project implements a negotiation chatbot using the Google Gemini API. The chatbot simulates a negotiation process between a customer and a supplier for a product (in this case, Premium Wireless Headphones).

Features

• Simulates a negotiation process with multiple rounds
• Uses Google's Gemini API for generating responses
• Implements basic pricing logic and sentiment analysis
• Provides both a Flask-based API and a command-line interface

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• Python 3.7 or higher
• pip (Python package manager)
• A Google Cloud account with access to the Gemini API

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/negotiation-chatbot.git
   cd negotiation-chatbot
   

2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   

3. Set up your Gemini API key:

   • Go to https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey
   • Create a new API key if you don't have one
   • Create a .env file in the project root and add your API key:

     GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here
     

Usage

Running the API Server

1. Start the Flask server:

   python Negotiation.py
   

   The server will start running on http://localhost:5000

Making API Requests

You can also interact with the API directly using curl or any HTTP client:

curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/negotiate \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"message": "I am interested in buying the headphones. What is your best price?", "history": []}'

Customization

You can customize the product details, pricing logic, and negotiation parameters by modifying the relevant variables in app.py.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues:

1. Ensure your API key is correctly set in the .env file.
2. Check that all dependencies are installed correctly.
3. Verify your internet connection and access to Google's servers.
