So what is this?

It's a chatbot, but related to history alike ! 🤗

What is that supposed to mean?

Ti. is a specialized chatbot designed to deliver precise, structured responses to inquiries about historical events, figures, and contexts. While I, as the author, acknowledge that it is not yet perfect, this project serves as a testament to the potential of artificial intelligence when leveraged responsibly. I believe that through thoughtful and ethical AI development, we can create innovative and meaningful solutions that inspire creativity and discovery

Why am I doing this?

I’ve always liked the idea of a multidisciplinary approach to education. it keeps things interesting. Research is fun too, though my focus might be a bit different from what a humanities grad would typically do, like analyzing artifacts or archival sites. This project, though, is something bigger. Again, It’s my way of showing how AI, when used thoughtfully, can unlock creative and meaningful discoveries. Maybe it’s not perfect yet, but hey, that’s part of the journey

What tools and plugins did you use while creating this project?

1. Any kind of Virtual IDE: Primarily used for a cloud-based development environment.

2. Runtime: Leveraged for its performance and modern runtime capabilities.

3. Framework: Built the project using for its robust features and server-side rendering.

4. Styling: Implemented for utility-first styling.

5. Language: Mostly in ,

6. API Keys & LLM Backend: Integrating Llama LLM as the primary language model, utilizing as the inference provider for optimized performance.

7. Backend Services: Implementing for authentication and account management, while handles chat history storage and retrieval
