+## Architecture
+
+### Frontend (Flutter/Dart)
+The mobile application is built using Flutter with a clean architecture pattern:
+
+- **Core**: Application constants and routing configuration
+- **Models**: Data models for sales, users, and dashboard summaries
+- **Repositories**: Data layer with support for dummy data, Firebase, and API backends
+- **Services**: Business logic for dashboard, OCR, and authentication
+- **Screens**: UI screens for login, dashboard, sales entry, OCR, and AI insights
+- **Widgets**: Reusable UI components including charts and insight cards
+- **Utils**: Utility functions for data parsing and formatting
+
+### Backend (Python/FastAPI)
+RESTful API backend providing AI insights:
+
+- **FastAPI**: Modern, fast web framework for building APIs
+- **Gemini AI Integration**: Google Gemini AI for generating business insights
+- **Authentication**: JWT-based authentication middleware
+- **CORS Support**: Configured for cross-origin requests

+- Dart SDK (>=3.0.0)
+- Python (>=3.8)
+- Firebase account (optional, for production)
+- Google Gemini API key (optional, for AI features)
+
+### Frontend Setup
+
+1. Install Flutter dependencies:
+```bash
+flutter pub get
+```
+
+2. Run the app:
+```bash
+flutter run
+```
+
+### Backend Setup
+
+1. Navigate to the backend directory:
+```bash
+cd backend
+```
+
+2. Install Python dependencies:
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+3. Set up environment variables:
+```bash
+export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key_here
+export API_KEY=your_api_key_here  # Optional
+```
+
+4. Run the backend server:
+```bash
+python main.py
+```
+
+The API will be available at `http://localhost:8000`
