Skillnest PoC

Skillnest is a proof-of-concept (PoC) of a COPPA-compliant, responsible AI-driven platform that helps students discover personalized extracurricular opportunities. This PoC demonstrates the core AI-driven matching logic and interface but does not include live AWS S3 storage or Browserbase Stagehand automation due to token limits and usage costs.
