EchoGPT Server

EchoGPT Server is the backend for the EchoGPT client application. It is built using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB for storing user, chat, and message data. The server handles authentication, manages user and chat data, and processes messages for real-time interactions with EchoGPT.

Features

• User Management: Handle user data, including creating and updating users in MongoDB.
• Chat Management: Create, fetch, update, and delete chats for users.
• Message Management: Store and retrieve messages for each chat.
• MongoDB Integration: Store user data, chat data, and messages in MongoDB.
• Environment Configuration: Use environment variables for sensitive data like MongoDB credentials.
