AI Mental Health Coach - Starter App
A clean, minimal LLM-powered AI Mental Coach application built for The AI Engineer Challenge cohort application by AI Makerspace. This starter project demonstrates end-to-end workflow from setup to deployment on Vercel, showcasing real AI engineering practices.
Key Learnings
This project pushed me from just learning about LLMs to actually building and shipping. The AI Engineer Challenge structure mimics a real AI engineering workflow: setup, backend, frontend, deployment - everything end-to-end. It's a great gateway for building production-grade AI applications end to end. The community around this is strong, practical, and focused on actual engineering - not theory. While simple by design, it demonstrates exactly what the challenge wants: setup, API integration, and working UI.
