+# AI Meeting Assistant
+
+An intelligent meeting assistant designed to streamline your workflow by transcribing, summarizing, and managing action items from your meetings. This full-stack application leverages a Python Flask backend for robust API services and a React frontend for a dynamic user experience.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **User Authentication**: Secure login and registration system with role-based access control (Admin, User).
+- **Meeting Management**: Create, view, and manage meetings. Upload transcripts or generate them from audio.
+- **AI-Powered Summary**: Automatically generate concise summaries from lengthy meeting transcripts.
+- **Action Item Tracking**: Automatically preview and batch-create action items from summaries. Manually add, edit, and delete action items with assigned owners and due dates.
+- **Permission Control**: Granular permissions for editing and deleting meetings and action items based on user roles (Admin, Meeting Owner, Action Item Owner).
+- **File Processing Tools**: Independent tools for audio extraction, transcription, and text translation.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+**Backend:**
+- **Framework**: Flask
+- **Database**: SQLAlchemy with Flask-Migrate for schema migrations.
+- **Authentication**: Flask-JWT-Extended for token-based security.
+- **Async Tasks**: Celery with Redis/RabbitMQ for handling long-running AI tasks.
+- **API**: RESTful API design.
+
+**Frontend:**
+- **Framework**: React.js
+- **UI Library**: Material-UI (MUI)
+- **Tooling**: Vite
+- **API Communication**: Axios
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- Node.js 20.x+
+- A message broker for Celery (e.g., Redis or RabbitMQ)
+
+## Installation & Setup
+
+### 1. Backend Setup
+
+Clone the repository:
+```bash
+git clone <your-repository-url>
+cd AI_meeting_assistant_-_V2.1
+```
+
+Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:
+```bash
+# For Windows
+python -m venv venv
+venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# For macOS/Linux
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Create a `.env` file by copying `.env.example` (if provided) or creating a new one. Configure the following:
+```
+FLASK_APP=app.py
+SECRET_KEY=your_super_secret_key
+SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI=sqlite:///meetings.db  # Or your preferred database connection string
+CELERY_BROKER_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
+CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND=redis://localhost:6379/0
+```
+
+Initialize and apply database migrations:
+```bash
+flask db init  # Only if you don't have a 'migrations' folder
+flask db migrate -m "Initial migration"
+flask db upgrade
+```
+
+### 2. Frontend Setup
+
+Navigate to the frontend directory and install dependencies:
+```bash
+cd frontend
+npm install
+```
+
+## Running the Application
+
+The application requires three separate processes to be running: the Flask server, the Celery worker, and the Vite frontend server.
+
+**1. Start the Flask Backend Server:**
+```bash
+# From the project root directory
+flask run
+```
+The API server will be running on `http://127.0.0.1:5000`.
+
+**2. Start the Celery Worker:**
+Open a new terminal, activate the virtual environment, and run:
+```bash
+# From the project root directory
+celery -A celery_worker.celery worker --loglevel=info
+```
+
+**3. Start the React Frontend Server:**
+Open a third terminal and run:
+```bash
+# From the 'frontend' directory
+npm run dev
+```
+The frontend application will be available at `http://localhost:5173`. Open this URL in your browser.
