Confession : This is me trying to dig myself out of tutorial hell. I've lost count of the number of times I've wanted to try something - then start watching a tutorial - lose the plot halfway there - only to blindly follow along and type out commands wanting to look at a final product and feel like I've accomplished something. And that is rarely ever the case. Sound familiar? It's a pretty common problem I hear.

So what am I doing here? Well right now I find myself wanting to be able to apply TensorFlow in my future projects. In order to achieve this hefty goal, I will be building a fully end-to-end Chatbot application that responds to user input. You can check out the progress I make here:

This is not the first time I will be using TensorFlow. Nor is it the first time I will be building a Web Application. Will I be following tutorials? Absolutely.

The catch - this time I will be documenting all of my thought processes, problems faced, lessons learned and all those other things in-between. Essentially, if all goes to plan, this series of articles should allow anyone to speedrun their way through to achieving a similar goal. Why do it this way you ask? Well, if I can explain that entire process, that should mean all those things must have stuck with me yeah? Fingers crossed 🤞

Here's the current plan :

1. Follow along with this tutorial : and build the model for the application.
2. Connect the model to a Flask backend
3. Connect the Flask application to a React frontend
4. Add styling

And well that's all I can think of so far I'm afraid. I'll be wrapping up things here for now. Wish me luck!
