This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies

npm install

2. Configure your DeepSeek credentials

Create a .env.local file in the project root and add your API key. The server reads the variables at build/start time.

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
# Optional overrides
# DEEPSEEK_API_URL=https://api.deepseek.com/v3.2_speciale_expires_on_20251215
# DEEPSEEK_MODEL=deepseek-v3.2_speciale_expires_on_20251215

⚠️ Never commit .env.local or share your real key publicly.

3. Run the development server

npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:3000 to use HomeworkHelper. Type a homework question (or add screenshots) and the app will call the /api/solve endpoint, which proxies the request to DeepSeek and streams back a step-by-step solution.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Geist, a new font family for Vercel.

4. (Optional) Test the API route directly

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/solve \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"question":"Explain how to solve 2x + 5 = 15"}'

You should receive a JSON payload containing the generated answer.
