SkillSync

💡 Problem

Students often struggle to find the right teammates for hackathons, projects, or study groups. Most platforms (like WhatsApp/Discord) are chaotic and don’t match people based on skills or goals.

🧠 Solution

SkillSync uses AI to match students with ideal teammates based on:

Skills (e.g., Python, UI/UX, ML) Project interests (e.g., fintech, healthtech) Experience level Availability

It creates balanced, high-performing teams automatically.
