How I Built ShopSmart AI with AWS DynamoDB and Vercel for the H01 Hackathon tags: aws, vercel, nextjs, hackathon

Short summary

ShopSmart AI is a hackathon project—a conversational shopping assistant that helps users plan events or DIY projects by naturally describing their needs, with the AI fetching real product recommendations from an AWS DynamoDB catalog. Built with Next.js, Vercel, and GPT-4o-mini using the Vercel AI SDK for streaming, it demonstrates seamless credential management through Vercel's native OIDC integration. Future roadmap includes persistent user accounts, Amazon/Target affiliate integration, mobile app, and B2B white-label API for retailers.
