🌟 What is SkillBridge AI?

Millions of students learn skills but struggle to translate them into real income or clear career direction. SkillBridge AI closes that gap with one platform that predicts career paths, builds personalized learning roadmaps, tutors students through their own notes, coaches them for interviews and resumes, and connects them to real micro-earning gigs — in English, Hindi, or Marathi.

Built end-to-end in 24 hours for Hackathon 2026, where it was recognized as an SDG Champion Project.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• npm

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/krushna1845/algorithmx.git
cd algorithmx

2. Start the backend

cd backend
npm install        # first time only
node server.js
# ✅ Running at http://localhost:3001
# 🤖 Mode: MOCK (no API key needed)

3. Start the frontend (new terminal)

cd frontend
npm install        # first time only
npm run dev
# ✅ Running at http://localhost:5173

4. Open the app

👉 http://localhost:5173

🤖 AI Mode

The app runs in MOCK mode by default — every AI feature works fully without any API key, which makes it ideal for demos and local development.

To switch to live OpenAI GPT-4o, set the following in backend/.env:

OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-key-here
MOCK_MODE=false
