Surf Chat Bot
Surf Chat Bot is an AI-powered assistant designed for surfers, providing real-time weather, ocean, and surf-related insights. It operates across web, Telegram, and Instagram platforms, offering features such as live beach discovery and location-based surf information.
Project Overview
Surf Chat Bot was built to help surfers quickly access surf conditions, weather updates, and ocean-related information through an AI-driven conversational interface. The bot supports multiple platforms, allowing users to interact via web, Telegram, or Instagram. It integrates live weather APIs, public beach camera feeds, and Google Maps to provide location-aware surf insights. The project focused on delivering a functional MVP that combines AI intelligence with real-time data sources.

Project Timeline
Learning and implementing an AI-powered chatbot using LLM APIs while integrating multiple real-time data sources and platforms
This project marked the first practical implementation of an AI chatbot using LLM APIs, requiring learning prompt design and AI response handling. Additional complexity came from integrating weather, mapping, and messaging APIs while maintaining consistent behavior across platforms.
Hands-on learning and rapid prototyping with real-world AI integrations
Challenges were addressed through experimentation and rapid prototyping, starting with small AI integrations and gradually expanding features. APIs were integrated incrementally and tested across platforms to ensure reliability and consistency.
Architecture Overview
A Node.js backend orchestrates AI responses, external APIs, and platform-specific bot logic. MongoDB supports basic data storage, while cloud infrastructure enables scalable deployment.
