HackAI

• HackAI is a chatbot powered by the Hack Club API. The project consists of a frontend and a backend.

Backend

• An additional backend was required for this project since a static HTML frontend cannot directly communicate with outside APIs and display them due to (CORS) policy.

Frontend

• The frontend consists of a basic form used to communicate with the API and get back messages.

• It also has a few buttons to demonstrate how easy it is to work with this API.
