The Process 

Project Planning

'What do I want to build?'

Several dinner table discussions trying to explain the infamous question 'What is AI?' to no avail --> Build a tool to explain different parts of the tech industry --> Extend to different industry fields as an integrated learning tool

 'How am I going to build this platform?'

- initially was looking into building an app -->  reached out to community and mentors --> decided on no-code website to ensure efficiency and quick build 

The Chatbot

Explored online tools and found FlowsChartsAI.

Initially wanted to code and integrate chatbot --> intergrated online tool for smoother UX and time to develop ML skills.
