## ⚙️ Installation & Setup
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8 or higher
- Groq API key
- Git
### 1️⃣ Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/danieladdisonorg/AI-Lawyer---RAG-with-DeepSeek-R1.git
```
```bash
cd AI-Lawyer---RAG-with-DeepSeek-R1
```
### 2️⃣ Set Up Virtual Environment
**On macOS/Linux:**
```bash
python -m venv venv
```
```bash
source venv/bin/activate
```
**On Windows:**
```bash
python -m venv venv
```
```bash
venv\Scripts\activate
```
### 3️⃣ Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### 4️⃣ Configure Environment Variables
Create a `.env` file in the project root:
```bash
echo "GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here" > .env
```
Or set it as an environment variable:
```bash
export GROQ_API_KEY="your_groq_api_key_here"
```
## 🚀 Usage
### Running Locally
1. **Start the application:**
```bash
streamlit run frontend.py
```
2. **Open your browser** and navigate to `http://localhost:8501`
3. **Upload a legal document** (PDF format)
4. **Ask questions** about the document using natural language
5. **Download reports** generated by the AI analysis
### Example Queries
- "What are the key terms and conditions in this contract?"
- "Summarize the main legal obligations for each party"
- "What are the potential risks mentioned in this document?"
- "Explain the termination clauses in simple terms"
## 📜 How It Works
### 1. Document Processing
- **Upload**: User uploads PDF legal documents
- **Extraction**: Text is extracted using pdfplumber
- **Chunking**: Documents are split into manageable sections
### 2. Vector Database Creation
- **Embedding**: Text chunks are converted to vector embeddings
- **Indexing**: FAISS creates searchable vector index
- **Storage**: Vectors are stored for efficient retrieval
### 3. Query Processing
- **User Input**: Legal questions are received via Streamlit interface
- **Retrieval**: Relevant document sections are found using vector similarity
- **Context**: Retrieved information provides context for AI response
### 4. AI Response Generation
- **DeepSeek R1**: Advanced reasoning model processes query and context
- **Groq API**: High-speed inference for real-time responses
- **Structured Output**: Responses are formatted for legal clarity
### 5. Report Generation
- **Analysis**: AI generates comprehensive document analysis
- **Formatting**: Results are structured in professional format
- **Download**: Users can download PDF reports
## 🔑 API Configuration
### Groq API Setup
1. **Get API Key**: Visit [Groq Console](https://console.groq.com/) and create an account
2. **Generate Key**: Create a new API key in your dashboard
