## 🚀 Setup Instructions

### Step 1: Create Environment Configuration
Create a `.env` file in your root directory (`/interior/.env`):

```
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-actual-api-key-here
OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo
GOOGLE_GEMINI_KEY=your-google-api-key-optional
```

**How to get OpenAI API Key:**
1. Go to https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
2. Create a new API key
3. Replace `sk-your-actual-api-key-here` with your actual key

### Step 2: Initialize Database
Run the setup script once to create database tables:

**Option A: Via Browser**
1. Visit: `http://localhost/interior/auth-system/api/setup-chat-db.php`
2. Wait for success message
3. You should see: "✓ Chat system tables created successfully"

**Option B: Via Command Line**
```bash
cd c:\xampp\htdocs\interior
php auth-system/api/setup-chat-db.php
```

### Step 3: Verify Setup
After initialization, test the chat widget:
1. Open any page with the chat widget (e.g., index.php)
2. Click the chat icon in bottom-right corner
3. Type a test message
4. You should see an AI-powered response within 2-3 seconds

- **Purpose**: Interior design services inquiries
- **AI Behavior**: Focuses on available services, pricing, timeline
- **Example Q**: "What services do you offer?"

### 2. **Project** 🏗️
- **Purpose**: Specific project consultations
- **AI Behavior**: Discusses project scope, design approach, portfolio examples
- **Example Q**: "Can you redesign my living room?"

### 3. **Order** 🛒
- **Purpose**: Purchase & order related questions
- **AI Behavior**: Helps with ordering, pricing, delivery, payment options
- **Example Q**: "How do I place an order?"

### 4. **Contact** 📞
- **Purpose**: General inquiries & contact information
- **AI Behavior**: Provides contact details, scheduling, support options
- **Example Q**: "How can I reach your team?"

**To customize prompts**, edit `/auth-system/chat-config.php` and modify the `getCategoryPrompt()` function.

## 📊 Database Schema

### chat_sessions Table
```sql
CREATE TABLE chat_sessions (
    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    session_id VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE,  -- Unique session identifier
    category VARCHAR(50),             -- service|project|order|contact
    user_email VARCHAR(255),          -- Visitor email (if logged in)

    INDEX (session_id),
    INDEX (user_email),
    INDEX (started_at)
);
```

### chat_messages Table
```sql
CREATE TABLE chat_messages (
    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    session_id VARCHAR(255),          -- Links to chat_sessions
    sender ENUM('user','assistant'),  -- Who sent the message
    message LONGTEXT,                 -- Message content

);
```

### chat_settings Table

    setting_value TEXT,               -- Config value
    setting_type VARCHAR(50),         -- string|int|boolean|json
    description TEXT,
    created_at TIMESTAMP
);
```

## 🔄 API Response Format

All API endpoints return JSON:

```json
{
    "success": true,
    "session_id": "chat_xxxxx_timestamp",
    "message": "User's message",
    "response": "AI's response text",
    "timestamp": "2024-03-24 14:30:00",
    "category": "service"
}
```

**Error Response:**
```json
{
    "success": false,
    "error": "Error message describing what went wrong"
}
```

---

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Chat Widget Not Showing
1. Verify `chat-widget.html` is included in page footer
2. Check browser console for JavaScript errors (F12)
3. Ensure CSS file `/assets/css/responsive-chat.css` is loaded

### No AI Response (Shows Error)
**Possible Causes:**
- API key not set in `.env` file
- Database tables not initialized (run setup-chat-db.php)
- OpenAI API key is invalid or expired
- Network/firewall blocking API requests

**Fix Steps:**
1. Verify `.env` file exists and has correct API key
2. Run setup script: `php auth-system/api/setup-chat-db.php`
3. Check OpenAI account at https://platform.openai.com
4. Test with curl: 
   ```bash
   curl -X POST http://localhost/interior/auth-system/api/chat-ai.php?action=send_message \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{"message":"hi","category":"service"}'
   ```

### Slow Response Times
**Possible Causes:**
- Network latency to OpenAI API
- Large conversation history
- API overloaded

**Fix Steps:**
- Reduce `OPENAI_MAX_TOKENS` in config (lower = faster)
- Switch to `gpt-3.5-turbo` if using gpt-4
- Archive old sessions to keep database fast
- Increase timeout if servers are far away

### Messages Not Persisting
1. Verify database connection is working: `php check-database.php`
2. Verify tables were created: 
   ```bash
   php auth-system/api/setup-chat-db.php
   ```
3. Check for MySQL errors in browser console Network tab

## 📈 Analytics & Monitoring

To monitor chat usage:

```php
// Get chat statistics
SELECT 
    category,
    COUNT(*) as total_messages,
    COUNT(DISTINCT session_id) as unique_users,
    AVG(response_time_ms) as avg_response_time
FROM chat_messages
GROUP BY category
ORDER BY total_messages DESC;

// Get user engagement
SELECT 
    session_id,
    COUNT(*) as message_count,
    MAX(created_at) as last_message
FROM chat_messages
GROUP BY session_id
ORDER BY last_message DESC
LIMIT 20;
```

---

## 🚄 Performance Tips

1. **Archive Old Chats**: Move messages older than 30 days to archive table
2. **Optimize Database**: Run `OPTIMIZE TABLE chat_messages; OPTIMIZE TABLE chat_sessions;`
3. **Cache AI Responses**: For frequent questions, cache responses in Redis
4. **Use Shorter Timeouts**: Reduce `OPENAI_MAX_TOKENS` for faster responses
5. **Enable Typing Indicator**: Shows users AI is working (already enabled by default)
