| # LaunchPadAI Panel | |
| An AI undergraduate internship and early-career assistant built on Neon AI's | |
| Collaborative Conversational AI (CCAI) framework. Ask about Handshake/LinkedIn | |
| search, resume polish, interview prep, application cadence, and networking — | |
| and get diverse perspectives from a panel of five career AI advisors. | |
| This repository is a **complete, deployable application** — the CCAI | |
| multi-advisor stack (FastAPI backend + React frontend) wired to the | |
| LaunchPadAI configuration in [`launchpad_config.yaml`](launchpad_config.yaml) | |
| and the personas in [`personas/career_advisors/`](personas/career_advisors). | |
| ## Advisors | |
| 1. **Internship Search Strategist** — roles, platforms, target lists | |
| 2. **Resume Optimizer** — ATS, bullets, skills match | |
| 3. **Interview Coach** — prep, presence, company research | |
| 4. **Application Scheduler** — cadence, deadlines, tracking | |
| 5. **Career Path Mentor** — networking, pivot, full-time transition | |
| ## Hugging Face Spaces deployment | |
| This Space ships as a single Docker image built from the repository-root | |
| [`Dockerfile`](Dockerfile). The container: | |
| 1. Builds the React frontend (CRA) at image-build time with `REACT_APP_API_URL=""` | |
| so every `fetch` issues a relative URL. | |
| 2. Serves the bundled SPA from FastAPI at `/`, with the API on `/api/...`, | |
| `/auth/...`, etc. — all on the same `:7860` origin. | |
| 3. Persists user data (auth, profiles, chat sessions) in **SQLite via | |
| `aiosqlite`** at `${DATA_DIR}/launchpad_panel.db`. Mount a Hugging Face | |
| Storage Bucket at `/data` to make the database survive Space rebuilds. | |
| There is **no MongoDB** and no third-party data plane. | |
| ### Required Space secrets | |
| | Secret | Purpose | | |
| |--------|---------| | |
| | `JWT_SECRET_KEY` | Signs auth tokens. Set this to a long random string. | | |
| | `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Powers the default OpenAI provider (`gpt-5.4-mini`). | | |
| | `GEMINI_API_KEY` | Optional — only if you switch `llm.provider` back to `gemini`. | | |
| Set these under **Settings → Variables and secrets** on the Space. | |
| ## Local deployment | |
| ### Option A — Docker | |
| ```bash | |
| # From the repo root, create a .env with at least: | |
| # JWT_SECRET_KEY=some-long-random-string | |
| # OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key | |
| docker compose up --build | |
| ``` | |
| Open <http://localhost:7860>. Override the host port with `LAUNCHPAD_HOST_PORT` if | |
| 7860 is taken. | |
| ### Option B — Native (no Docker) | |
| **Backend** (terminal 1): | |
| ```bash | |
| cd multi_llm_chatbot_backend | |
| python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate | |
| pip install -r requirements.txt | |
| CONFIG_PATH=../launchpad_config.yaml uvicorn app.main:app --reload --port 8000 | |
| ``` | |
| **Frontend** (terminal 2): | |
| ```bash | |
| cd phd-advisor-frontend | |
| npm install | |
| REACT_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:8000 npm start | |
| ``` | |
| Open <http://localhost:3000> — you should see **LaunchPadAI** with five career advisors. | |
| ## Configuration | |
| App UI, login fields, chat examples, orchestrator keywords, and LLM/RAG | |
| settings live in [`launchpad_config.yaml`](launchpad_config.yaml). The five | |
| advisor YAMLs in `personas/career_advisors/` load automatically. Point the app at a | |
| different config with `CONFIG_PATH`. | |
| The workshop draft that generated this panel is saved as | |
| [`advisor-panel-draft.json`](advisor-panel-draft.json). | |
