Quest #122: AI chatbot development
🧰 Arcane Tools
django-saas-project-bootstrap
📋 The Walkthrough
- Master the core skill for 'ai chatbot development' — build side projects to deepen expertise.
- Create 3-5 portfolio projects on GitHub that demonstrate real capability and clean code.
- Set up profiles on Upwork, direct with case studies, not just skill lists — show what you built and the impact.
- Specialize hard — 'React developer for fintech dashboards' beats 'full-stack developer.'
- Set premium rates from day one — tech commands $50-150/hr. Low rates signal low quality.
- Pitch clients with specific solutions to their problems. Read their app, find a bug, mention it.
- Deliver on time and systematically ask for referrals — each happy client should bring 1-2 more.
🤖 Arcane Guidance (⚡ Fully Automatable)
- Load the `django-saas-project-bootstrap` skill for full-stack projects or the relevant dev skill.
- Describe your project to Hermes in plain language: 'Build a [type] that lets users [action].'
- Hermes scaffolds the entire project — database, auth, frontend, API — with production-ready patterns.
- Use `delegate_task` to parallelize work: one subagent on frontend, one on backend, one on tests.
- Load `systematic-debugging` when you hit errors — Hermes diagnoses the root cause, not just the symptom.
- Use `github-pr-workflow` to manage version control, branches, and deployment preparation.
- Deploy, monitor, and iterate. Hermes handles maintenance PRs while you focus on new features.
