ChatAi is built using the MERN stack which utilizes React with Redux on the frontend and Node, Express and MongoDB on the backend.

Technologies:

Frontend

• React - Open source, component-based JavaScript/UI library
• Redux - Commonly used with React, Redux is also a JavaScript library with a primary function of handling application state
• Fetch API - JavaScript interface used to send promise-based, asynchronous HTTP requests to REST endpoints and perform CRUD operations

Backend

• Node - Backend JavaScript runtime environment
• Express - Backend web application framework to build a RESTful API with Node
• MongoDB - Document-oriented database program
• OpenAI API - API service that provides access to OpenAI's language models which are designed to understand and generate human-like text
• AWS S3 - Cloud service platform that assists in hosting image and other assests

Features:

• User Authentication - users can sign up or log in to a corresponding user account or utilize the pre-created Demo User account
