This app uses OpenAI only for decision making (not chat). You need to provide your own API key via environment variables.

---

OpenAI API key

Windows

setx OPENAI_API_KEY "sk-your-api-key"

Restart your terminal / IDE after setting the variable.

---

macOS / Linux

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-your-api-key"

---

Verify

import os
print(os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"))

If it prints the key → setup is correct.

---

Notes

• API keys are never stored in code
• If the key is missing or invalid, the system automatically falls back to rule‑based decisions

---

Run

python main.py

Project focus: AI‑driven decision system with deterministic fallback.
