Project overview
Circle of Trust - Build your own circle & AI-chat with friends and celebrities. A secure, real-time social platform that lets users create private groups ("circles"), invite friends, and chat through live messaging and AI-driven chatbots, including interactions with famous personalities. Built using a .NET Core backend, ASP.NET MVC with a JavaScript frontend, and Microsoft SQL Server.
Circle Management
- Create & Join Circles: Users can form unlimited private circles, invite via email/links, and set roles (admin, member).
- Privacy Controls: Circle-level settings for visibility (public, invite-only, private) and message retention policies.
- Member Directory: Browse circle participants, view profiles, and manage roles.
Real-Time & AI Chat
- Live Chat: SignalR-powered instant messaging with read receipts, typing indicators, and multimedia (images, GIFs, files).
- AI Personas: Engage with AI bots trained to mimic celebrities or custom personalities. Users can pick from a “Celebrity Bot” library or upload prompts to craft their own.
- Smart Replies & Summaries: On-demand AI suggestions for quicker responses, plus conversation summaries after long threads.
