3. Google Cloud Console - For Google Sign-In configuration
4. Convex - For backend database and real-time functionality

Environment Setup

1. Create Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables:

# Perplexity API
EXPO_PUBLIC_PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=your_perplexity_api_key_here

# Google Console API
EXPO_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_google_client_id_here

# Firebase Config
EXPO_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_API_KEY=your_firebase_api_key_here
EXPO_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=your_project.firebaseapp.com
EXPO_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id
EXPO_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=your_project.firebasestorage.app
EXPO_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=your_sender_id
EXPO_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_APP_ID=your_app_id
EXPO_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID=your_measurement_id

# Convex Config
EXPO_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL=your_convex_deployment_url_here

2. Firebase Setup

1. Create a new Firebase project at Firebase Console
2. Enable Authentication with Google Sign-In
3. Download the GoogleService-Info.plist file and place it in the root directory
4. Copy the configuration values to your .env file

3. Perplexity AI Setup

1. Sign up for a Perplexity AI account at Perplexity AI
2. Generate an API key from your account settings

3. Enable the Google Sign-In API
4. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials for iOS and Android
5. Add the client ID to your .env file as EXPO_PUBLIC_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID

5. Convex Setup

1. Install Convex CLI globally:

   npm install -g convex

2. Create a new Convex project:

   npx convex dev

3. Follow the setup wizard to create your Convex project

4. Copy the deployment URL to your .env file as EXPO_PUBLIC_CONVEX_URL

5. The Convex functions are already set up in the convex/ directory

Installation

   npm install

2. Start the development server:

   npx expo start

3. Run on your preferred platform:

   # iOS
   npx expo run:ios

Development

This project uses:

• Expo Router for navigation
• Convex for backend database and real-time functionality
• Firebase for authentication
• Perplexity AI for conversation suggestions
• React Native Google Sign-In for authentication

Security Notes

• Never commit your .env file to version control
• The .env file is already included in .gitignore
• All API keys are prefixed with EXPO_PUBLIC_ to make them available in the client-side code
• For production, consider using a more secure method for API key management
• Convex and Firebase provide built-in security rules and authentication
