Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll enhance the AI-powered voice assistant EchoBuddy with weather capabilities. Your challenge is to transform EchoBuddy from a basic chatbot into a sophisticated weather assistant that can respond to natural language queries like "What's the weather in Boston?" with accurate forecasts. You'll start with static data integration, then progress to working with the OpenWeather API, implement geocoding to handle any location request, and finally create an intuitive weather widget that displays conditions visually in the browser.


This liveProject requires use of the OpenAI platform, which is a paid service. For the purposes of this project, $5 should be sufficient.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
