AI-powered guidance platform helping African students find scholarships, training, internships and jobs # EduNavigator AI An AI-powered guidance platform helping African students discover and apply to scholarships, training programs, internships, and jobs worldwide. ## Problem Thousands of students across Africa — starting with Benin — miss out on real opportunities simply because reliable, centralized information doesn't exist. Opportunities are scattered, hard to verify, and rarely matched to an individual's actual profile. ## What it does - **Conversational AI assistant** (in French) that understands a student's academic profile — field of study, level, country — and recommends relevant opportunities with a calculated match percentage - **Smart search** across a catalog of 500+ verified scholarships, training programs, internships, and jobs, filterable by country, level, field, and funding type - **CV and cover letter generation** tailored to each specific opportunity - **Application tracking** — a clear view of every application sent and its status - **Personalized alerts** when a new opportunity strongly matches a student's profile ## Architecture & security - **Frontend**: single-page HTML/CSS/JS application - **Backend**: Supabase for authentication and data storage, with Row-Level Security — each user can only access their own profile, favorites, and applications - **AI assistant**: calls a server-side endpoint (`/api/ai-assistant`) rather than the AI provider directly from the browser, so the API key is never exposed client-side - **Privacy**: only the data strictly necessary for academic guidance is collected (name, email, country, level, field of study) ## Status Working beta, first launched for students in Benin, with a panafrican expansion in mind. ## Author **Malick OKASSE** — Data Analytics & AI Consultant | Cybersecurity Analysis, based in Benin LinkedIn · GitHub
