Implementation Path & Integration Status

Deployment Guide (Live on Vercel)

Vercel is the best platform to host Next.js apps. Follow these exact steps to push your local code to GitHub and deploy it live.

Step 1: Push to GitHub

Open your terminal and run these exact commands one by one to save and push your project:

```bash

1. Add all files to staging

git add .

2. Commit the files with a message

git commit -m “feat: Finalize Supabase integration, AI strict grading, and email fixes”

3. Push to your main branch on GitHub

git push origin main ``` (If git push origin main fails, you might be on the master branch. Try git push origin master instead).

Step 2: Deploy to Vercel

1. Go to Vercel.com and log in with your GitHub account.
2. Click “Add New…“ -> “Project”.
3. You will see your GitHub repositories. Find PREPIQ and click Import.
4. In the Configure Project screen, scroll down to Environment Variables.
5. Copy all the variables from your local .env.local file and paste them into Vercel. You must add:
   • `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL`
   • `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`
   • `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY`
   • `NEXT_PUBLIC_GEMINI_API_KEY`
   • `RESEND_API_KEY`
6. Click Deploy. Vercel will build the project and provide you with a live URL.

Custom Domains on Vercel

To add a custom domain (like prepiq.com):

1. Go to your project dashboard on Vercel.
2. Click Settings -> Domains.
3. Type in your domain name and click Add.
4. Vercel will give you DNS records (usually an A Record and a CNAME). Copy these.
5. Go to your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger, etc.).
6. Open the DNS Settings for your domain and paste the records provided by Vercel.
7. Wait a few minutes (up to an hour) for Vercel to verify the domain and issue a free SSL certificate.
