+
+## 🔧 API Configuration
+
+### Livepeer Studio (Recommended)
+
+**Why?**
+- Direct image-to-image transformation
+- Preserves composition better
+- Faster (~10-15 seconds)
+- More cost-effective
+
+**Setup:**
+1. Get API key from [Livepeer Studio](https://livepeer.studio/)
+2. Set secret: `supabase secrets set LIVEPEER_STUDIO_API_KEY=lp_xxxxx`
+
+### OpenAI (Fallback)
+
+**Why?**
+- High-quality artistic outputs
+- Advanced LLM prompt generation
+- Wider style variety
+
+**Setup:**
+1. Get API key from [OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/)
+2. Set secret: `supabase secrets set OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxxx`
+
+**Features:**
+- **GPT-4o-mini:** Creative prompt generation
+- **DALL·E 3:** Image generation (slower, ~20-30s)
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Performance Benchmarks
+
+### Prompt Generation
+- **Template-based:** < 1 second
+- **LLM (GPT):** 2-3 seconds
+
+### Image Transformation
+- **Livepeer AI:** 10-15 seconds
+- **OpenAI DALL·E:** 20-30 seconds
+
+### Total Pipeline
+- **With Livepeer:** ~15-20 seconds
+- **With OpenAI:** ~25-35 seconds
+
+---
+
+## 💰 Cost Estimates
+
+### Per Transformation
+
+| Service | Prompt | Transform | Total |
+|---------|--------|-----------|-------|
+| Livepeer only | Free (template) | $0.01-0.02 | **$0.01-0.02** |
+| Livepeer + GPT | $0.001 | $0.01-0.02 | **$0.011-0.021** |
+| OpenAI only | $0.001 | $0.04 | **$0.041** |
+
+### Monthly Estimates (1000 transformations)
+- **Livepeer (recommended):** $10-20/month
+- **OpenAI fallback:** $40-50/month
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Best Practices
+
+### For Best Results
+
+1. **Use Good Quality Input**
+   - Well-lit photos
+   - Clear subject visibility
+   - 512x512 or larger
+
+2. **Adjust Strength Appropriately**
+   - **0.3-0.5:** Subtle, maintain realism
+   - **0.5-0.7:** Balanced, artistic
+   - **0.7-0.9:** Creative, trippy
+   - **0.9+:** Extreme transformation
+
+3. **Prompt Engineering**
+   - Keep prompts descriptive but concise
+   - Include style, environment, and effects
+   - Use adjectives: "vivid", "glowing", "dreamy"
+
+4. **Enable LLM for Variety**
+   - More creative and unique prompts
+   - Better context understanding
+   - Natural language generation
+
+### For Recognizability
+
+- Keep strength ≤ 0.7 for portraits
+- Use prompts that emphasize "portrait" or "person"
+- Avoid prompts with heavy abstraction
+- Test different values to find sweet spot
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "No image generation API keys configured"
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+supabase secrets set LIVEPEER_STUDIO_API_KEY=your_key
+# or
+supabase secrets set OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key
+```
+
+### Issue: "Failed to generate prompt"
+**Solution:**
+- Check if functions are deployed: `supabase functions list`
+- Template mode doesn't require API keys
+- LLM mode requires `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+
+### Issue: "Transformation takes too long"
+**Solution:**
+- Livepeer is 2x faster than DALL·E
+- Check API key configuration
+- Verify network connection
+
+### Issue: "Person not recognizable"
+**Solution:**
+- Lower strength slider (try 0.5-0.7)
+- Use less abstract prompts
+- Ensure good lighting in source image
+
+### Issue: "Prompts are repetitive"
+**Solution:**
+- Enable "Use AI" toggle for LLM-based generation
+- Configure `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+- Template mode has 18 styles × 18 environments × 15 effects = 4,860 combinations
+
+### Issue: "CORS errors"
+**Solution:**
+- Ensure Supabase functions have proper CORS headers
+- Check browser console for detailed error
+- Verify anon key is correct
+

+
+## 📱 Mobile Optimization
+
+### Tips for Mobile Users
+
+1. **Capture from Video**
+   - Best for real-time camera feed
+   - Immediate snapshot capture
+   - No file upload needed
+
+2. **File Upload**
+   - Use camera roll photos
+   - Pre-edited images work well
+   - Supports all common formats
+
+3. **Share Functionality**
+   - Uses native Web Share API on mobile
+   - Share to Instagram, Twitter, etc.
+   - Fallback: copy link to clipboard
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 Security Notes
+
+- All API keys stored server-side in Supabase secrets
+- Never expose keys in client code
+- Edge functions handle all API calls
+- CORS restricted to app origin
+- Images processed server-side
+
