In this video, I'm excited to show you PDFGenius, a full-stack web application I built with minimal coding knowledge, thanks to AI-powered tools like Cursor AI and Bolt.new coding editor.

PDFGenius is an app that lets you upload PDFs and chat with them using AI. Here's what I managed to create:

🚀 Key Features:
Upload PDFs and organize them into folders
Ask questions about your documents and get AI-powered answers
Split-screen view with the PDF on one side and chat on the other
Similarity search on the database to only pass relevant chunks to AI model

🛠️ Tech Stack:
I used NextJS 14 with TypeScript for the frontend and Supabase for the database. The AI assistants helped me implement PDF processing libraries and even set up a Redux store for state management!

🔒 Security:
Even though I'm new to coding, the AI tools guided me in implementing crucial security features like secure file uploads, and input validation.

Throughout this video, I'll walk you through my journey of building PDFGenius, showing how AI coding assistants helped me tackle complex tasks like PDF text extraction, embedding generation, and integrating with language models.

If you're interested in building web apps but felt intimidated by coding, this video is for you! I'll demonstrate how tools like Cursor AI and Bolt can empower you to create sophisticated applications, even without extensive programming experience.
