AI Chatbot — Gemini LLM
A conversational AI project built with Python and Google Gemini API to explore prompt-driven responses, session continuity, and a clean interactive chat experience.
Overview
This project explores how a conversational AI app can use Google Gemini API to generate helpful, context-aware responses in a simple user interface. It focuses on prompt engineering, session continuity, and the practical flow of building a small AI product with Python.
The app uses Streamlit to create a lightweight chat experience where users can interact with the model in a natural, low-friction format.
What the Project Explores
- Prompt-driven interaction: Experimented with user prompts and response shaping to keep outputs useful and coherent.
- Session context: Integrated conversation state to preserve flow across multiple turns.
- Rapid AI prototyping: Demonstrated how lightweight tooling can help prototype conversational experiences quickly.
Problem Statement
Many chatbot experiences feel generic or inconsistent because they lack clear prompt structure and context handling. A thoughtful interface and well-structured conversation flow can make a basic AI assistant much more usable.
This project focused on a clean, exploratory build for conversational AI while strengthening practical skills in API integration and model-driven application design.
