Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

   git clone [https://github.com/buildfastwithai/open-brilliant](https://github.com/buildfastwithai/open-brilliant)
   cd open-brilliant

2. Install dependencies

   npm install

3. Run the development server

   npm run dev

   Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

Usage

1. Enter a Physics Question: Ask any physics question in natural language
2. AI Analysis: The system analyzes your question and identifies key concepts
3. Interactive Animation: View the generated physics simulation with real-time controls
4. Customize Parameters: Adjust variables using interactive sliders
5. View Live Data: Monitor physics calculations as the animation runs

Example Questions
