I'm a university student preparing for a required one-year final project. I haven't focused enough on my studies over the past two years, and I'm not very confident with the BIT-related material, but I'm willing to invest the time needed to graduate. My mentor has suggested building something involving both web development and AI. What kind of project would be manageable, useful, and realistic to complete within a year? Please include an explanation of why you would choose it.

A practical option would be a project-idea recommendation website. Users could enter their interests, skills, available time, and requirements, and the system could suggest suitable project ideas using a basic recommendation model or an AI API. The web application would handle accounts, forms, storage, and results, while the AI component could generate explanations or help refine each suggestion. It solves a real problem and gives you a clear way to demonstrate both web and AI skills.
Start by asking your mentor for guidance, since they know the project requirements and can help you choose a suitable scope. Pick something small enough to finish reliably, then add features only if you have time. A simple web application with one clearly defined AI feature is usually safer than trying to build an entire complex AI system.
Before choosing a topic, make a written plan with the minimum features, technologies, milestones, and testing requirements. Your first goal should be a working prototype, not an ambitious product. Also, use this project as a chance to catch up on the fundamentals; relying entirely on copied code or AI-generated code will make debugging and explaining your work much harder.
That sounds useful. How could I make the idea specific enough to avoid turning it into an overly large project?
