Friend AI — An AI Companion I Built for My Friend

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend

What I Built
You have built an iOS application codebase designed to serve as an AI friend or companion assistant. The repository provides the frontend structure and integration for an iPhone app that lets users interact with virtual AI personalities, chat models, or smart conversational agents directly on iOS devices.

How I Built It
Friend AI is an iOS application built with SwiftUI.
Technologies used:
Swift + SwiftUI — native iOS app and UI
Xcode — development and testing
Open-source AI — powers the core AI functionality
Git + GitHub — version control and open-source collaboration
AI coding agent — helped with coding, debugging, and iteration

Why Does Open Innovation Matter?
Open-source AI allowed me to experiment, learn from the community, and build the AI functionality into my own application rather than relying entirely on a closed ecosystem.

My Agent Session
I used an AI coding agent as a development partner for generating code, debugging issues, and iterating on the SwiftUI app.
