API Integration

The application uses Google's Gemini AI API for processing cybersecurity queries. The integration is handled in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SaiVigneshchalnati/cyber_shield_ai/main/semicrome/shield-cyber-ai-1.5.zip through the getGeminiResponse function:

const genAI = new GoogleGenerativeAI(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SaiVigneshchalnati/cyber_shield_ai/main/semicrome/shield-cyber-ai-1.5.zip);

async function getGeminiResponse(question: string): Promise<string> {
  const model = https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SaiVigneshchalnati/cyber_shield_ai/main/semicrome/shield-cyber-ai-1.5.zip({ model: "gemini-pro" });
  // ... process response
}

Component Architecture
