AI Chatbot - Backend

Description

This is a backend application designed to simulate mock job interviews using Google Generative AI. It generates interview questions and provides feedback based on user input for a specified job title. This tool is intended to help users practice their interview skills and receive constructive feedback.

In addition to the interviewer functionality, the application also includes a chatbot that interacts with customers, asks relevant questions, and recommends the best insurance policy type based on their responses.

This backend needs to be run in conjunction with the project frontend, which is located at AI Chatbot Frontend.
