🎯 Elevator Pitch

A solo-built app that makes learning, career prep, and skill development fun, interactive, and stress-free using AI-powered quizzes, chat groups, CV tools, and Gemini AI guidance.

🌟 Inspiration

As a solo developer, I noticed that many teens and young adults struggle with both learning and career preparation. LearnQuest was created to provide a complete platform that combines education, career guidance, and social support, helping users improve their skills, prepare for interviews, and stay motivated.

🧠 What It Does

LearnQuest combines learning, career prep, and social features:

  • Interactive Learning: AI-powered quizzes and recommended videos using Gemini AI.
  • Interview Prep: Personalized questions and tips for job or internship interviews.
  • CV Maker & ATS Support: Build professional CVs and track applications effectively.
  • Chat Groups: Connect with peers for support, discussion, and collaboration.
  • Gamification: Badges, progress tracking, and achievements keep users motivated.
  • Payments: Secure in-app payments for premium features or courses.
  • Stress Reduction & Accessibility: Learning and career prep broken into manageable tasks; works on all devices with a safe interface.

🛠️ How I Built It
