🤖 Reddit User Persona Generator

This project is a Generative AI-powered Reddit User Persona Generator that analyzes a user's public Reddit activity - comments and posts to generate a rich, human-like persona. It leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) via Groq and is orchestrated using LangChain, providing deep behavioral insights, motivations, and personality traits based on natural language patterns.
