## 🧪 TEST HELIX LOCALLY

### Step 1: Start Helix API
```bash
cd C:\Users\Paul\Desktop\longevityfutures-website\helix-api
python start_helix.py
```

**You should see:**
```
HELIX - SMART CHATBOT FOR LONGEVITYFUTURES.ONLINE
Loading knowledge base...
[OK] Loaded 71 articles
[OK] Helix is ready!
Starting Helix API on http://0.0.0.0:8002
```

### Step 2: Open Website Locally
1. Open `index.html` in your browser
2. Click the blue chat button (bottom right)
3. Ask Helix ANYTHING:
   - "What is NMN?"
   - "Best supplements for longevity?"
   - "How does resveratrol work?"
   - "What vitamins should I take at 50?"
   - ANYTHING!

### Step 3: Watch Magic Happen
- Helix will give SMART answers
- Recommend relevant articles
- Always compliant and helpful

## 🌐 DEPLOYING TO LIVE WEBSITE

**Problem:** API runs on localhost (your computer only)

**Solution Options:**

### Option 1: Deploy Helix API (RECOMMENDED)
Deploy the Helix API to a hosting service:
- **Railway.app** (Free tier available)
- **Render.com** (Free tier available)
- **Heroku** (Free tier ended, but cheap paid)
- **PythonAnywhere** (Free tier available)

**Steps:**
1. Create account on Railway.app
2. Deploy `helix-api` folder
3. Get deployed URL (e.g., `https://helix-abc123.railway.app`)
4. Update `index.html` line 793:
   ```javascript
   const response = await fetch('https://helix-abc123.railway.app/v1/ask', {
   ```
5. Upload to Hostinger

**Cost:** FREE (or ~$5/month for paid tier)

### Option 2: Keep Simple Helix (Current)
- Website already has fallback knowledge base
- Works without API
- Not as smart, but functional
- No deployment needed

### Option 3: Client-Side OpenAI (NOT RECOMMENDED)
- Call OpenAI directly from browser
- Exposes your API key (security risk)
- Not recommended

---

## 📊 CURRENT STATUS

**Local Testing:** ✅ READY
- Helix API working
- Website connected
- All 71 articles loaded

**Live Deployment:** ⏳ PENDING
- Need to deploy Helix API to Railway/Render
- Then update website URL
