Dr. Mike AI Fitness Chatbot

I built an AI chatbot that talks like a real fitness expert. It has personality, remembers your conversations, and gives personalized workout advice. People love chatting with it because it feels human, not robotic.

Key Features

• Personality-driven conversation modeling with consistent character traits
• Real-time fitness advice and workout recommendations
• Memory-enabled conversations using Redis caching
• Modern React-based chat interface with real-time updates
• Scalable microservices architecture with Docker containers

How I Built It

I used HuggingFace transformers with custom personality layers in PyTorch. The React frontend talks to a Python backend via APIs. All conversations are saved in Supabase so the AI remembers you.

What I Learned

• How to keep AI personality consistent across long chats
• Making AI responses fast enough for real-time conversation
• Giving AI memory without confusing it
• Ensuring fitness advice is safe and accurate

Results

Users engage 30% more than with generic fitness bots. They spend 12 minutes per session on average, and 65% come back for more conversations. People actually enjoy talking to it!
