AI-Powered Financial Prediction Platform

Inspiration

I wanted to create a tool that helps people make better financial decisions using AI. Many people struggle with loan approvals and understanding stock/crypto market trends. What if AI could assist them? That idea inspired me to build a platform that predicts loan approvals, stock trends, and cryptocurrency movements all in one place.

What I Learned

This project taught me many things:

Machine Learning & AI: I trained LSTM models to predict loan approvals and market trends.
Web Development: I used Flask and Streamlit to build an interactive dashboard.
Cloud Setup: I learned how to configure AWS EC2 for hosting, though deployment is still in progress.

How I Built It

Data Preparation: Cleaned and processed loan, stock, and crypto data.
AI Model Training: Used LSTM models for prediction and feature analysis.
API Development: Built Flask APIs to serve predictions.
Dashboard Creation: Designed an interactive dashboard using Streamlit.
Deployment Attempts: Set up an AWS EC2 instance, but faced challenges with storage and dependencies.

Challenges I Faced

Deploying on AWS: I faced issues with SSH access, storage limits, and missing dependencies.
Model Optimization: Improving AI accuracy while keeping performance fast.
Port Conflicts: Ensuring different services ran on the right ports without crashing.

Current Status & Next Steps

✅ Local version is working perfectly
❌ Not deployed online yet

Next Steps: Successfully deploy on AWS or another cloud service, fix storage issues, and make the app fully accessible online. Imagine people actually doing it. Cheers to great future.
