Build Stage 1 (Proof of Concept) of an AI-Powered Decision Intelligence Platform

Build Stage 1 (Proof of Concept) of an AI Business Intelligence Platform I am looking for an experienced Full Stack Developer with AI integration experience to build Stage 1 (Proof of Concept) of a larger project called Asterion. Important This is NOT a one-time freelance task. Asterion is a long-term software product that will be developed over multiple stages during the coming months and years. I am looking for a developer who wants to become a long-term technical partner. If Stage 1 is successful, I plan to continue working with the same developer on future stages. The goal of this first stage is not to build the final platform, but to validate the architecture, development approach and our collaboration. ⸻ Stage 1 Deliverables The first version should include: * Secure user authentication (single user) * Simple and clean dashboard * Ability to add several external data sources (URLs or APIs) * Collect and store company information in a database * Basic company profile page * AI-generated summaries using the OpenAI API * Natural language search * PDF upload with AI summarization * Clean, modular and scalable architecture for future development ⸻ Preferred Technology * Python (FastAPI preferred) * React or Next.js * PostgreSQL * OpenAI API * Docker * GitHub If you believe another technology stack is better, I am happy to discuss it. ⸻ What I am looking for * Experience building AI-powered applications * Strong backend architecture skills * Clean, maintainable and well-documented code * Excellent communication * Ability to suggest better technical solutions instead of simply following instructions * Interest in a long-term collaboration ⸻ Future Vision Asterion is being designed as a personal AI-powered Business Intelligence and Decision Support Platform. Future stages will include many advanced modules such as intelligent monitoring, opportunity discovery, knowledge management, AI voice briefing, document analysis and additional AI capabilities. These features are NOT part of this contract. Stage 1 is focused only on building a solid foundation for future development. ⸻ When applying, please include: 1. Links to similar AI or SaaS projects you have built. 2. Your recommended technology stack and why. 3. How you would approach Stage 1. 4. Estimated timeline. 5. Your fixed price for Stage 1. Please start your proposal with the word ASTERION so I know you have read the full project description.
