+# 🚀 Alture AI — Production Deployment Guide
+
+This guide provides step-by-step instructions for deploying **Alture AI** across modern cloud platforms (Render, Railway, Docker, and Hugging Face Spaces) for **100% free**.
+
+---
+
+## 🌐 Option 1: Deploy on Render (Recommended — 100% Free)
+
+Render provides free hosting for Python web services and connects directly to your GitHub repository.
+
+### Step-by-Step:
+1. Go to [Render.com](https://render.com) and create a free account.
+2. Click **New +** → **Web Service**.
+3. Connect your GitHub repository: `https://github.com/Ahmad-Mustafa-Iqbal/Alture-AI`.
+4. Configure the following settings:
+   - **Name**: `alture-ai`
+   - **Region**: `Oregon (US West)`
+   - **Branch**: `main`
+   - **Runtime**: `Python 3`
+   - **Build Command**:
+     ```bash
+     pip install -r requirements.txt && python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
+     ```
+   - **Start Command**:
+     ```bash
+     uvicorn deployment.backend.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT
+     ```
+   - **Instance Type**: `Free`
+5. Under **Environment Variables**, add:
+   - `RAPIDAPI_KEY`: `616b70a6a5msh6eee497e99ef8cap135e12jsncb8e7d0f79bc`
+   - `RAPIDAPI_HOST`: `jsearch.p.rapidapi.com`
+   - `GEMINI_API_KEY`: *(Your Google AI Studio key)*
+6. Click **Create Web Service**.
+7. Once built, you will receive a public URL: `https://alture-ai.onrender.com`.
+
+---
+
+## 🚂 Option 2: Deploy on Railway (Ultra-Fast Free Tier)
+
+1. Go to [Railway.app](https://railway.app) and sign in with GitHub.
+2. Click **New Project** → **Deploy from GitHub repo**.
+3. Select `Ahmad-Mustafa-Iqbal/Alture-AI`.
+4. Add Environment Variables (`RAPIDAPI_KEY`, `RAPIDAPI_HOST`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`).
+5. Under **Settings**, click **Generate Domain**.
+6. Your live app is accessible at `https://alture-ai.up.railway.app`.
+
+---
+
+## 🐳 Option 3: Run with Docker (Local or Cloud VPS)
+
+You can run the entire platform locally or on any server using Docker:
+
+### 1. Build and Start Container:
+```bash
+docker compose up --build -d
+```
+
+### 2. View Running Logs:
+```bash
+docker compose logs -f
+```
+
+### 3. Open in Browser:
+- Interactive UI: [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
+- OpenAPI Swagger: [http://localhost:8000/docs](http://localhost:8000/docs)
+
+### 4. Stop Container:
+```bash
+docker compose down
+```
+

+# Hybrid NLP-Based Job Recommendation and Resume–Job Matching System
+
+## 📌 Problem Statement
+
+Most job-search and ATS (Applicant Tracking System) tools match resumes to jobs by simply looking for matching keywords. This project builds a **smarter matching system** that understands the actual meaning behind a resume and a job description — not just the words used — and gives a clear, **explainable match score**.
+
+The system combines three signal types:
+1. **Semantic Similarity** — Sentence-BERT embeddings capture meaning beyond keywords
+2. **Skill Overlap Extraction** — spaCy NER + custom skill dictionary identifies matched/missing skills
+3. **Structured Features** — Text length, keyword density, and other engineered features
+
+A gradient-boosted meta-learner (XGBoost) combines these signals to predict ATS compatibility scores, outperforming any single approach alone.
+
+## 📊 Dataset
+
+- **Name**: Resume-ATS Score Dataset v1 (English)
+- **Source**: [Hugging Face — 0xnbk/resume-ats-score-v1-en](https://huggingface.co/datasets/0xnbk/resume-ats-score-v1-en)
+- **Size**: ~6,400 resume–job description pairs (5,100 train / 1,300 validation)
+- **Features**: Resume text, Job Description text, ATS compatibility score (18.3–90.7), Fit label (No Fit / Potential Fit / Good Fit)
+- **Target Variable**: ATS compatibility score (continuous)
+
+> **Note**: The dataset is automatically downloaded when you run the notebooks. No manual download needed.
