Why I Built This Project

As a Full Stack Developer, I wanted to move beyond simple CRUD applications and start building real-world SaaS products that combine:

Modern Frontend Development

AI Integration

This project helped me understand how production AI applications are structured and how conversational AI can be integrated into modern SaaS platforms.
