Inspiration
I am 18 years old, from Egypt, with no laptop and no team. Just a phone and a dream to build my own AI from scratch.
What I Built
Almo AI is a personal AI assistant that:
- Searches Wikipedia & DuckDuckGo in real time
- Writes code in Python, JavaScript, and HTML
- Remembers your conversations
- Calculates math expressions
- Learns facts about you over time
- Works on both mobile and desktop
How I Built It
Everything was built on my phone using:
- Pure HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Wikipedia & DuckDuckGo APIs
- localStorage for saving conversations
- Netlify for free hosting
- Google Colab for Python prototyping
No laptop. No IDE. No team. Just a phone.
Challenges
Debugging and designing on a small phone screen was the biggest challenge. Every task that takes minutes on a laptop took hours on a phone.
What I Learned
That limitations are not walls — they are doors. Anyone, from anywhere, can build something real.
