Project Overview We are looking for a developer to build and integrate a professional AI chatbot for our platform, Proxima Study. The goal is to allow students to ask questions on the front-end and receive answers generated by leading AI models (ChatGPT and Gemini) through a secure back-end bridge. Scope of Work Chat Interface (Front-end): A clean, user-friendly chat bubble/window on our website where students can type questions. It must support "streaming" (where text appears word-by-word) so users aren't waiting on a loading screen. The Bridge (Back-end): Develop a secure middleman (API) that takes the student’s question, sends it to OpenAI or Google Gemini, and brings the answer back to the website. AI Logic: Set up the system so I can easily toggle which AI model is being used (or have the system use both). Security: Ensure my API keys are hidden on the server and not visible to users. Required Technical Skills AI Integration: Experience with OpenAI API (GPT-4) and Google Gemini API. Back-end: Proficiency in Python (FastAPI/Flask) or Node.js. Front-end: JavaScript, HTML/CSS (React or Vue experience is a plus). Security: Knowledge of environment variables and secure API handling. Project Timeline & Budget Estimated Duration: I am looking for this to be completed in 2 to 3 weeks. Milestones: Payment will be released in stages: Successful connection to AI APIs (Back-end). Front-end chat UI implementation. Final testing and deployment. A Note for Freelancers: I am looking for an efficient integration using existing APIs. Please do not bid if you plan to over-complicate the project with unnecessary custom-trained models. I value clear communication, clean code, and security. Budget: CAD$250 The website itself is built in Laravel and vue.js
