BtterAI is a simple fun wrapper I created in just an hour, addressing the growing over-reliance on AI tools, especially for minor tasks. While AI is powerful, depending on it for everything can have drawbacks, particularly for beginners.
The Problem
-
Hampering Growth:
Imagine learning to drive using Tesla’s autopilot. Initially, it may feel like you’re mastering driving effortlessly, but what happens when you’re in a real-world scenario? While some argue that AI is the future, to truly excel, you need raw skills. No shortcuts! -
Energy Consumption:
Large Language Models (LLMs) consume significant amounts of energy, even for basic queries that you could easily find through Google. Using LLMs for minor tasks contributes to this energy drain unnecessarily.
The Real Dev Philosophy
Remember: Real developers use Google.
BtterAI Solution

Gemini API-based chatbot: This bot won’t spoon-feed you solutions. Instead, it encourages you to refer to documentation or Stack Overflow. It redirects you to the relevant docs, promoting self-learning.
-
Fun Interaction: Sometimes, the bot might even troll you, adding some humor to the experience!
Tech Stack
Frontend:

No need to worry about your data—this tool doesn’t have a database!
This was just a fun project with the intention to help developers grow and think independently.
