Chatbot Development

This tutorial demonstrates building a stateful chat application using React and the Gemini API. It leverages React's state management to maintain conversation history (`messages`, `input`, `isLoading`), automatically scrolling to new messages using `useRef` and `useEffect`. The core functionality lies in `callGeminiAPI`, which sends the entire conversation history to the Gemini API for context-aware responses, incorporating exponential backoff for error handling. The UI, built with JSX and Tailwind CSS, displays messages differently based on sender (user/model) and includes a simple input form. The complete code is provided for a functional application.
