Inspiration

Cybercrime, phishing attacks, scam messages, and malicious URLs continue to affect millions of users worldwide. I wanted to create an AI-powered cybersecurity solution that helps people quickly identify online threats before they become victims of scams or phishing attacks.

What it does

SentinelAI is an AI-powered Threat Intelligence Platform that analyzes suspicious SMS messages, emails, and URLs. The system detects phishing attempts, malicious links, scam content, and potential cyber threats. It provides risk scores, threat classifications, security warnings, and AI-generated explanations to help users make informed decisions.

How I built it

I developed SentinelAI using React and Vite for the frontend, FastAPI for the backend, Groq LLM for AI-powered threat analysis, and VirusTotal API for threat intelligence and URL reputation checks. GitHub was used for version control, Vercel for frontend deployment, and Render for backend deployment.

Challenges I ran into

One of the biggest challenges was integrating AI analysis with external threat intelligence services. I also faced challenges while connecting the frontend and backend, handling API responses, and deploying the complete application to cloud platforms.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

  • Built a fully functional AI-powered cybersecurity agent.
  • Successfully integrated Groq AI and VirusTotal APIs.
  • Deployed the project using modern cloud platforms.
  • Created an intuitive user interface for threat analysis.
  • Implemented real-time risk scoring and threat detection.

What I learned

Through this project, I gained hands-on experience in AI agents, cybersecurity, API integration, cloud deployment, and full-stack development. I also learned how AI can be combined with threat intelligence data to improve security analysis.

What's next for SentinelAI

Future improvements include browser extension support, advanced email security analysis, multilingual phishing detection, enterprise dashboards, automated threat alerts, and continuous threat intelligence updates.
