Inspiration
We noticed that many people have valuable skills but no easy way to exchange them for other skills or learning opportunities.
What it does
SkillWrap is a platform where users can learn, teach, and exchange skills. It also uses AI to help users decide which skill to learn, generate a personalized learning roadmap, and provide career guidance.
How we built it
The frontend was built with Next.js, while the backend uses Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL. AI features were integrated using OpenAI APIs.
Challenges we ran into
We faced challenges integrating the AI features reliably and implementing image uploads for skills.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We successfully integrated AI into a real-world product and built a complete skill-exchange platform from scratch.
What we learned
We learned how to work effectively with OpenAI APIs, manage backend services, and implement email communication within an application.
What's next for skillwrap
We plan to add a full chat system where AI suggests messages, helps users communicate better, and assists in writing clear, professional messages during skill exchanges.
