🔧 Configuration

Environment Setup

# Required for Claude
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here

# Required for OpenAI  
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here

# Optional for Ollama (local)
OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
OLLAMA_MODEL=llama3.2

Model Routing Customization

Edit routing rules in shared/types.js (Node.js) or shared/types.py (Python):

// Customize automatic model selection
export const MODEL_ROUTING = {
  creative: MODEL_PROVIDERS.CLAUDE,
  analytical: MODEL_PROVIDERS.OPENAI,
  coding: MODEL_PROVIDERS.OLLAMA,
  general: MODEL_PROVIDERS.OLLAMA
};

🎭 Greeting Styles (Simulated Versions)

The simulated implementations demonstrate different greeting styles:

Simple: Hello, [Name]!
Formal: Good day, [Name]. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Creative: 🌟 Greetings and salutations, magnificent [Name]! ✨
Technical:
- Node.js: console.log('Hello, [Name]'); // Executed successfully
- Python: print(f'Hello, [Name]') # Executed successfully

🚨 Important Notes

API Costs: Claude and OpenAI charge per token - monitor usage
Rate Limits: Be aware of API rate limits for cloud providers
Local Option: Ollama provides free local inference
Network: Cloud providers require internet connection
Keys Security: Keep API keys secure and never commit them
