What will you learn?
You can't truly become a developer if you can't build your own stuff. Theory and foundations are important, but you also need to be able to fly solo. The purpose of this project is two-fold: a chance to put your skills into practice and to add another project to your portfolio. Well-built personal projects will help you land interviews and jobs, so make sure to put in the effort!

After doing the guided AI agent course, I decided to do something with LLMs because LLMs are big. I have created an extraction system where LLMs read public documents, extract emails, verify things, check whether it's fit or not, and then put it back on a table. I used Google's API, and ChatGPT has been a big help. Overall, I would say I have spent roughly 50 hours, but did I learn something? I would say yes. The choices you make in the beginning do affect things down the line.

Very worthwhile! I struggled to come up with an idea for the project, but I asked Boots and he gave several more examples that took my interest. It was hard to complete the project and keep the streak going, however!

At the beginning I was thinking that the tool will be to silly and tiny, but when coding it was growing and growing. Really nice experience to practice Python.
