Three API keys are required. Set them as environment variables before running:

| Variable | Service | Get Key | |---|---|---| | TAVILY_API_KEY | Tavily Search (news) | https://tavily.com | | DEEPSEEK_API_KEY | DeepSeek (text gen) | https://platform.deepseek.com | | OPENROUTER_API_KEY | OpenRouter (image gen) | https://openrouter.ai |

Optional:

| Variable | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | IMAGE_MODEL | google/gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview | OpenRouter image model (Nano Banana 2) |

Steps

1. Verify environment variables are set

Check that TAVILY_API_KEY, DEEPSEEK_API_KEY, and OPENROUTER_API_KEY are configured. If any are missing, prompt the user to set them.
