Up It Quest

Up It Quest is an AI powered interview trainer for technical interviews

DEMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef2ivitjiBU

Backend: https://github.com/dcrebbin/ai-interview-trainer-backend

Technology:

• Frontend: Qwik

• Backend: Go Fiber

• Database: MySQL with GORM

• Vector Database: Pinecone (Not currently leveraged really)

Default Hosting:

These are the providers I personally use to deploy everything, ofc can be interchanged to your preferences, but these work.

• Frontend: Vercel (using VITE)

• Backend: Google Cloud Platform

• Database: PlanetScale

• Vector Database: Pinecone (Not currently leveraged really)

Integrated AI Services:

Note: Vertex isn't fully supported and requires manual regeneration of the auth token on the backend (very sus): Mostly bc the other providers are better, sorry google (would be worth it if you have heaps of gcp credits or a partnership tho)

Text Generation:

• OpenAi (GPT3.5, GPT4 etc) (GPT4 Turbo is the best of both worlds)

• Vertex (Palm, Gemini Pro etc) (Maybe ultra will be insane but idk)

Text to Speech:

• OpenAi (TTS 1, TTS 1 HD) (Best of both worlds)
• Vertex
• ElevenLabs (Most expensive and the slowest but the highest quality)
• Unreal Speech (Cheapest and the quickest but slightly uncanny valley)

Speech to Text:

Both are pretty decent, whisper's probably a bit cheaper tho

• OpenAi (Whisper 1)
• Vertex

Setup

1. npm i
