Choose Your Track
Three Capstone Paths
AI Chatbot
Design and deploy a conversational AI assistant powered by large language models. Handle multi-turn dialogue, context memory, and custom personas — all in a polished chat UI.
AI Content Generator
Build a full-stack content creation engine that drafts blogs, social posts, product descriptions, and marketing copy — with tone control, SEO optimization, and export features.
AI Art Generator
Create a generative art platform using diffusion models. Users craft prompts, choose styles, and generate stunning visuals — with a gallery, download, and share system built in.
What You’ll Master
Core Skills Across All Projects
LLM Integration
Connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source models. Master prompt engineering and context management.
API Architecture
Design RESTful backends, handle rate limiting, manage API keys securely, and structure clean endpoints.
UI / UX Design
Build polished, responsive interfaces that delight users — from chat bubbles to art galleries.
Cloud Deployment
Deploy on Vercel, AWS, or GCP. Set up CI/CD pipelines, env configs, and production monitoring.
Auth & Security
Implement user authentication, protect API routes, and safely handle sensitive user data.
Analytics & Logging
Track usage metrics, monitor model performance, and debug with structured logging systems.
Project Roadmap
12-Week Build Plan
Planning & Research
Define your project scope, research APIs and tooling, set up your dev environment, and sketch wireframes.
Core AI Integration
Connect to your chosen AI API, build prompt templates, handle responses, and test basic functionality.
Backend Architecture
Build your API layer, add authentication, implement database models, and set up session management.
Frontend Development
Build the full UI — chat interface, content editor, or art gallery — with real-time updates and smooth UX.
Testing & Refinement
Write unit and integration tests, conduct user testing sessions, and iterate on feedback.
Deploy & Present
Launch to production, write documentation, record a demo, and present your capstone to stakeholders.
