✨ Features

• 🔍 Real-time Web Search: Fetches the latest drug information, side effects, and news using DuckDuckGo.
• 🧠 AI Powered Summaries: Uses Gemini 2.0 Flash to synthesize disparate search results into a clean, readable report.
• 📝 Research History: Automatically tracks your search queries in the sidebar for easy reference.
• ⚙️ Model Selection: Switch between different Gemini models (e.g., gemini-2.0-flash-exp, gemini-2.0-flash) directly from the UI.
• 🔒 Secure: API keys are handled securely via Streamlit secrets.

🧪 Research Workflow

AutoPharma doesn't just search the web; it uses an autonomous reasoning loop to determine which clinical data points are missing, executes targeted searches via DuckDuckGo, and synthesizes the findings into a medical-grade report using Gemini 2.0 Flash.
