Built with AI-assistance to demonstrate practical application of open-source AI models for natural language processing. Features automated content fetching, intelligent filtering, prompt engineering for content transformation, and AWS S3 + CloudFront deployment with GitHub Actions CI/CD.
parho.net - AI News Transformation
CompletedA production-deployed AI-powered platform that transforms complex news articles into accessible summaries using local large language models. Built with AI-assistance to showcase practical LLM integration with Next.js.
