Week 4 (August 22 - August 28):

Janet-0717 - Sep 2 - - Dev Community

This week, I focused on finalizing the platform’s features and preparing it for launch. The first step was conducting a full functionality test across the entire website to ensure that all features, including the AI customer service, shopping cart, and transaction history, were working seamlessly. This testing phase was critical for identifying and fixing minor bugs that could impact the user experience.

One of the key areas of improvement was the AI customer service interface. I continued refining the AI’s responses, particularly in handling complex inquiries related to product recommendations and recipe suggestions. By adjusting the prompt structures and fine-tuning the API interactions, I was able to significantly improve the accuracy and relevance of the AI’s answers. Additionally, I expanded the preset responses to cover a broader range of common questions, making the AI more versatile and efficient.

Midweek, I focused on optimizing the platform’s database. With an increasing amount of product data, it was essential to ensure that the database remained responsive and could handle large volumes of information without compromising performance. I implemented indexing and optimized queries to enhance data retrieval times, ensuring that users experience fast and smooth interactions with the website.

I also spent time this week adding more detailed information and images for the meat products, enriching the content available to customers. This included updating the database with new entries and ensuring that the website layout could accommodate the additional content without sacrificing usability. The quick search function was optimized to handle the increased number of products, ensuring that customers could easily find what they were looking for.

Towards the end of the week, I began writing the final project report, summarizing the development process, challenges encountered, and the solutions implemented. This report will serve as a comprehensive overview of the project and provide valuable insights for future developments. Overall, this week was about ensuring that the platform was polished, fully functional, and ready for its upcoming launch.
