GitHub Finish-Up-A-Thon Submission: Reviving Pathfinder AI
This is a submission for the GitHub Finish-Up-A-Thon Challenge
What I Built
Pathfinder AI is an AI‑powered career guidance tool that helps students and job‑seekers discover personalized career paths.
The "Before"
The project was initially a basic prototype with:
- Only English language support
- No video introduction
- Only ran locally, not deployed online
- Basic UI without proper guidance
The "After"
The revived version now includes:
- Full multilingual support (English, French, Spanish)
- Narrated video introduction using AI voiceover
- Live deployment on Streamlit Cloud
- Global Security Shield badge and transparent pricing in the sidebar
- Comprehensive README and documentation
How I Used AI and GitHub Copilot
I used Groq's Llama 3.1 model to power the AI career coach, and my own AI voice translator to generate the narrated video introduction. GitHub Copilot helped me quickly refactor the multilingual UI components.
