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.
