Welcome! We are happy to present an exciting opportunity for talented students to contribute to our innovative project, code name Indigo.

Main Goal

The primary objective of this project is to further develop Indigo, our conversation analysis platform, by enhancing its full-stack capabilities, particularly the front-end user experience and integration with the existing AI-powered backend. Students will gain hands-on experience in AI integration, web application development, and SaaS deployment.

This project is designed to be manageable within 60 hours, spread over 2-8 weeks, ensuring students can realistically complete it within the timeframe while benefiting from our strong mentorship program.

This is a unique opportunity for students to apply their AI and development skills in a real-world project. We look forward to collaborating with motivated students who are eager to make an impact in AI-powered business development!

Project Scope and Expectations

During this project, students will:

• Develop the front-end using React.js or another modern JavaScript framework.
• Refine and integrate AI-powered backend features (such as conversation analysis and feedback reports) into the user interface.
• Enhance user authentication (OAuth, SSO, and role-based access control).
• Optimize API calls for efficiency and scalability.
• Improve the user experience (UX/UI) with interactive dashboards and reports.
• Implement secure data handling to meet compliance and privacy standards.

This project allows students to gain real-world experience in SaaS development, AI integration, and enterprise application design.
