MLH API Assistant

Assistant-style project for MLH API Week, built with React, Vite, Auth0, and Backboard.

Current status

• Auth0 login flow is integrated
• Login/logout flow is working
• Authenticated user profile is shown in the app
• Backboard setup has started
• A first simple document was added to the assistant for basic RAG-style querying

Project direction

This repository is the base for a larger identity-aware assistant that will evolve through the MLH API Week challenges.

Current path:

• Auth0 setup
• Backboard assistant setup
• simple document-grounded assistant
• privacy-aware and context-aware behavior later

Setup

1. Install dependencies

npm install

2. Create a .env file

Create a .env file in the project root and add:

VITE_AUTH0_DOMAIN=your_auth0_domain
VITE_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=your_auth0_client_id
VITE_AUTH0_CALLBACK_URL=http://localhost:5173

If your current app also uses additional API values later, add them there as needed.

3. Run the app

npm run dev

Notes

This project is still in progress and intentionally simple for now. The current goal is to keep one clean project and gradually extend it into a stronger privacy-aware assistant.
