CultureAlive – AI-Powered Cultural Storytelling

Inspiration

Culture is the soul of any community, yet many local traditions, temples, festivals, and stories remain undocumented or difficult to understand for younger generations. I was inspired to build CultureAlive to preserve and present cultural knowledge in a simple, engaging, and accessible way using AI. The idea was to combine technology with heritage—allowing users to explore cultural topics through natural language explanations.

What It Does

CultureAlive is a web application that uses AI-powered storytelling to explain cultural topics in simple and easy-to-understand language. Users can enter a topic (such as a temple, festival, tradition, or historical concept), and the AI responds as a cultural storyteller, making complex information approachable and meaningful.

How I Built It

Backend: Python with Flask

AI Model: Groq LLM (LLaMA 3.1)

Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Deployment: Render

Environment Management: dotenv

The Flask backend handles API requests and sends user input to the Groq LLM. The AI processes the prompt using a cultural storytelling context and returns a clear, human-like explanation. The project is deployed on Render, making it accessible publicly via the web.
