🚀 Next Steps

1. Install Dependencies Locally (Optional - for testing)

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set Up Environment Variables

The .env file is already created. Just edit it and add your OpenAI API key:

# Edit .env file
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

Note: .env and venv/ are already in .gitignore and won't be committed to Git.

3. Test Locally (Optional)

# Start server
uvicorn app.main:app --reload

# In another terminal, run tests
python3 test_api.py

4. Deploy to Railway via GitHub

Option A: Via Railway Dashboard (Recommended)

1. Push your code to GitHub
2. Go to https://railway.app
3. Click "New Project" → "Deploy from GitHub repo"
4. Connect your GitHub account and select the repository
5. Railway will automatically detect the Dockerfile
6. Set environment variable: OPENAI_API_KEY in Railway dashboard
7. Deploy!

Option B: Via Railway CLI

npm i -g @railway/cli
railway login
railway init
railway link  # Link to GitHub repo
railway up

Note: Railway uses Dockerfile for building and deployment (Procfile removed).

5. Get Your API URL

Railway will provide a URL like: https://your-app.railway.app

Test it:

curl https://your-app.railway.app/api/v1/health

📡 API Endpoints

Production Endpoints

Once deployed, your endpoints will be:

• POST https://your-app.railway.app/api/v1/estimate - Generate estimate
• POST https://your-app.railway.app/api/v1/chat - Chat interface
• GET https://your-app.railway.app/api/v1/features - List features
• GET https://your-app.railway.app/api/v1/health - Health check
• GET https://your-app.railway.app/docs - API documentation

Example Request

curl -X POST https://your-app.railway.app/api/v1/estimate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "requirements": "I need a client onboarding system with user authentication and dashboard"
  }'

🔑 Required Environment Variables

Railway Dashboard → Variables:

• OPENAI_API_KEY (REQUIRED) - Your OpenAI API key

Optional:

• DEFAULT_HOURLY_RATE - Default: 100.0
• BUFFER_PERCENTAGE - Default: 0.20
• OPENAI_MODEL - Default: gpt-4-turbo-preview

🎯 Frontend Integration

Your frontend team can integrate using:

// Example fetch call
const response = await fetch('https://your-app.railway.app/api/v1/estimate', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    requirements: 'User authentication and dashboard',
    hourly_rate: 100.0,
    include_breakdown: true
  })
});

const estimate = await response.json();
console.log(estimate);

📊 Response Format

{
  "total_time_hours": 240.0,
  "total_cost": 24000.0,
  "breakdown": [
    {
      "feature": "User Authentication",
      "description": "Login and registration",
      "time_hours": 52.0,
      "cost": 5200.0,
      "complexity": "medium"
    }
  ],
  "assumptions": [
    "Estimates are based on standard implementation practices",
    "A 20% buffer has been included for unforeseen complexities"
  ],
  "timeline": "Approximately 6 weeks",
  "summary": "AI-generated professional summary...",
  "next_steps": [
    "Review this estimate and provide feedback",
    "Schedule a detailed requirements discussion"
  ]
}

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "OpenAI API key not configured"

   • Set OPENAI_API_KEY in Railway environment variables

2. "Module not found"

   • Ensure all dependencies are in requirements.txt
   • Railway will auto-install on deploy

3. Port errors

   • Railway sets $PORT automatically
   • Don't hardcode ports

4. PDF extraction fails

   • Ensure PDF files are in project root
   • Check file permissions

📚 Documentation
