+
+**Monday** is a voice-enabled AI learning companion designed to bridge the gap between natural language queries and high-quality educational content. Inspired by Marvel's JARVIS and FRIDAY, Monday delivers tailored responses in three modes—Basic, Reasoning, and Deep Research—while integrating immersive visualizations, curated video content, and accessibility-first design.
+
+## Features
+
+* **Three Learning Modes**: Basic factual answers, step-by-step reasoning, and deep research investigations
+* **Voice-first interaction** for hands-free learning with natural language processing
+* **Real-time 3D visualizations** of concepts using Three.js & WebXR
+* **Curated educational YouTube video integration** from trusted sources
+* **Multi-modal feedback** combining text, speech (via ElevenLabs), and spatial panels
+* **VR-optional design** for immersive experiences without requiring a headset
+* **Accessibility-focused interface** for mobility- and vision-impaired users
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+* Node.js 18 LTS or newer
+* Modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox recommended)
+* Microphone for voice interaction
+* Optional: VR headset for immersive mode (WebXR compatible)
+* Perplexity API key, ElevenLabs API key, and YouTube API key
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/srivastavanik/monday.git
+cd monday
+git checkout final
+cd nidsmonday
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Create a .env file and set your API keys
+PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=your_api_key

+## Usage
+
+1. Launch the app in your browser
+2. Say **"Hey Monday"** to activate the assistant
+3. Ask a question in one of three modes:
+   - **Basic Mode** – "What is photosynthesis?"
+   - **Reasoning Mode** – "Think about how blockchain works."
+   - **Deep Research Mode** – "Research into the history of quantum mechanics."
+4. View answers as floating text panels, voice responses, and interactive 3D models
+
+## Code Explanation
+
+* **Frontend**: TypeScript with Three.js for 3D visualizations and WebXR for VR support
+* **Backend**: Node.js with Socket.IO for real-time voice command processing
+* **AI Integration**: Perplexity Sonar API for intelligent responses with reasoning extraction
+* **Voice Processing**: ElevenLabs for speech synthesis and natural language understanding
+* **Content Curation**: YouTube API integration with smart keyword extraction for educational videos
+* **Accessibility**: Voice-first design with spatial audio and haptic feedback support
