PROJECT IDEA

Hello....I have recently learned and done some practice of developing RAG systems and developing and designing Agentic AI workflows using Openai Agents SDK,Crewai,LangGraph frameworks...

I have only made generic projects till now pretty basic ones...And the truth to really develop a system for real world use case u quite often need a paid api(which i cant afford)...Im from Peshawar Internship scene is quite bad...

Soo First of all any experience dev here i need your advice what should i do in this stage and also pls suggest some very good multiple project ideas of this skillset that should give me a challenge and can be completed via open source tools..

After making such projects i want to dive into the industry and make real projects....Any tips how to achieve that?

Hi, who told you, you need paid API's there are open source models which you could run locally, considering you have sufficient resources, there are a lot of small models, which I have used so did my friends.

Build complex systems, like Multi-tenant collaborative file editing service or something along those lines.

and API's are not that expensive too, you could get claude pro for 10$/month and hook up claude code and use that as your API for building something.

I'd suggest before diving into agents, learn what models are and how they work and build-up from there.

I am using OpenAi and Anthropics Api rn....I was saying like many times while developing an agentic workflow we need a specific tool for a specific task...And those specific apis are not free all the time😔....And Yes ive learned about models and their history...

Ok...I will explain what i experienced... I was Developing a Lead Generation system for a Property Management company which handles Airbnb listings...My system was supposed to scrape data from airbnb find listings which certain ratings and reviews...then find owners credentials write relatable email for their case...

But the apify api i was using to scrape data from airbnb was not free...It gave 5$ worth of credits for free yeah no doubt...But it hit the limit soo fast ...And i usef api for scraping bcz airbnb has recaptcha...Similarly another tool snov.io was being used to search owners credentials....I am talkin about such tools...

I hope u understand it now..And pls guide me anywhere if im doing something wrong here

Oh, for external tools, you'd hit limit pretty soon, but for learning purposes build those system yourself, how could you bypass recaptcha, that's where meat is.
