    What's a good first project to build skills? Ideas appreciated.

    Hi, Glad you jumped in with this. Solid first question.

    If you want a first project that actually teaches you something useful, try a document Q&A app. You feed it a PDF or a folder of files, then ask it questions. It's basically your own mini search engine, and you'll see firsthand how AI pulls answers out of raw text. Once you get that working, the same pattern shows up everywhere else you build.

    If you want to push a little further, try building a tiny agent that takes a goal and breaks it into steps on its own. It's one of those projects that makes the whole 'AI as assistant' thing click.

    Still stuck? Scroll through the tools directory at EveryDev.ai. Half the time, seeing what other people have shipped is all it takes to get an idea rolling.

    What do you actually enjoy building? That usually points to the best first project anyway.
