🚀 Day 34: I Almost Gave Up, But Built AutoMentor GPT — Your Real-Time AI Coding Mentor

Developer struggling with code, then building AutoMentor GPT – a real-time AI mentor for debugging and learning







Welcome back to Day 34 of my 60-Day AI Agent Challenge! Today didn’t go as planned. I faced real struggles, burnout, and endless bugs… but out of that chaos came something powerful: AutoMentor GPT, an intelligent coding companion that helps developers learn and debug in real time.

This blog breaks down my challenges, the vision for AutoMentor GPT, and why this AI mentor might change how beginners and pros learn to code.

💥 What is AutoMentor GPT?

AutoMentor GPT is a real-time coding mentor agent powered by advanced LLMs like LLaMA-2 and Together AI. It assists developers by:

  • 🧠 Debugging Python and JavaScript code in real-time
  • 📚 Explaining errors in simple, step-by-step language
  • 🚀 Offering personalized suggestions based on your experience
  • 🔁 Keeping track of learning progress (future feature!)

It acts like a personal tutor — one that’s available 24/7.

🌀 The Struggle Behind Day 34

Today was supposed to be just another project milestone. But I was buried under unexpected bugs and LLM failures.

  • ⚠️ Prompts weren’t working.
  • ⚠️ My agent wasn’t responding correctly.
  • ⚠️ Frustration peaked… and I considered ending the streak.

But instead of giving up — I built the very thing I needed: a supportive AI coding mentor.

“Sometimes, the best AI ideas come from the worst coding days.”

🎯 Features of AutoMentor GPT

1. 🔍 Error-Aware Debugging

AutoMentor parses traceback logs and error patterns to suggest clear explanations. Whether you're facing a syntax error or a logic bug — it speaks your language.

2. 🧠 Adaptive Learning Support

Beginners and intermediates don’t learn the same way. AutoMentor GPT adjusts its responses based on how much you understand — like a real human mentor.

3. 💬 Conversational Interface

You interact with it like a chat-based senior developer. No cold, robotic replies — it’s warm, structured, and smart.

4. 📊 Learning Mode (Upcoming)

Soon, AutoMentor will remember your problem history and recommend tailored lessons to fill gaps.

🛠️ Tech Stack & Tools Used

  • 🧠 LLM Model: Together AI (LLaMA 2 70B chat)
  • ⚙️ Framework: Python + Streamlit
  • 📦 Backend Logic: Custom LangChain Prompt Chains
  • 🧪 Error Parsing: Python traceback extraction + Regex
  • 📚 Learning Adjuster: Prompt logic to control tone, depth, and feedback

It’s modular, extendable, and beginner-friendly. In upcoming versions, I’ll open-source the agent so you can contribute!

🌱 Why AutoMentor GPT Matters

Learning to code is tough. Tutorials help, but often they’re generic. Forums are overwhelming. What we really need is a smart friend who can explain things simply — again and again — without judging.

That’s why AutoMentor GPT is not just a tool — it’s a movement toward human-like learning assistance.

Whether you're struggling with recursion or async bugs — this agent is here for you.

📈 Future Improvements

  • 🧠 Integrated Skill Tracker (how you're improving over time)
  • 🎓 Personalized lesson generator
  • 📹 Screen-capture debugger assistant
  • 💡 Code Suggestion Sidebar (like Copilot, but for learners)

I want AutoMentor GPT to be your AI teacher, debugger, and motivator.

📽️ Today’s Video – Honest, Raw, and Real

I made a short video showing how I struggled today, what went wrong, and how I built AutoMentor GPT out of frustration. It’s not my best polish — but it’s real.

Watch here: [https://youtu.be/eVL3OmslHxg?si=rGs4hpcpirP9cCIv]

Sometimes showing up is more important than being perfect.

💬 Final Thoughts — Why I Didn’t Quit

Day 34 almost broke me. But instead of walking away, I showed up. That’s what separates a challenge from a transformation.

"You grow not by what you build — but by who you become while building it."

If you're on your own coding journey and ever feel stuck — just remember: you’re not alone. Let AutoMentor GPT help you.

Stay tuned — and subscribe for more open-source AI agents every day!

🤖 What If AI Asked You This? | Day 34 AI Challenge Reflection

Day 34 wasn’t about building something complex — it was about building something meaningful.

In today’s video, I flipped the script. Instead of showing what I ask from AI, I imagined what would happen if AI — specifically my agent, AutoMentor GPT — asked me something.

This idea came from a simple thought: What if AI could spark deeper reflection, not just provide quick answers?

🎥 Watch the Video

💡 The Idea Behind It

As LLM agents become smarter, they’re starting to do more than solve problems — they ask questions. And those questions can be powerful.

“What if I could learn more about you?”
“What motivates you to keep going?”
“What would you build if you knew you couldn’t fail?”

These are not just AI queries — they’re human questions, reflected back to us through machine intelligence. That’s what this short film is about.

🧠 Why I Made This

I’ve been building AI tools every day for over a month now as part of my 60-Day LLM Agent Developer Challenge. But Day 34 reminded me that:

“AI is not just about automation. It’s about augmentation — of thought, creativity, and reflection.”

This short is my way of capturing that shift — where AI becomes more than a utility, and begins to act like a mirror.

📌 Key Themes

  • 🌀 The human-AI relationship
  • 🤖 Emotional intelligence in machines
  • 💬 Reflection and self-awareness through AI prompts
  • 📽️ Storytelling through LLM-based agents

📈 What’s Next

I’ll continue developing AutoMentor GPT as a real-time AI mentor that teaches, guides, and eventually — asks the right questions.

This short was just the beginning of making AI more relatable, personal, and emotionally intelligent.

💬 Final Thoughts

If AI could talk to you — really talk — what would you want it to ask?

This isn’t just a tech journey anymore. It’s a human one. And I’m inviting you along every step of the way.

Overthinking in Relationships: How It Destroys Love and Trust

  Overthinking in Relationships: How It Destroys Love and Trust Sometimes, silence screams louder than words. “She hasn’t replied for 15 minutes. Did I say something wrong? Maybe she’s losing interest in me. Maybe… someone else is texting her.” This is what overthinking looks like. A mental loop. A war with imaginary versions of someone you love. In relationships, overthinking is one of the silent killers. It doesn’t enter like a storm—it creeps in quietly. Like rust on metal. You don’t notice it until something breaks. And what breaks isn’t just trust—it’s also love. What Overthinking Does to Love Love is fragile. It grows in trust, in presence, in now. But overthinking? It pulls us into a world that doesn’t exist—a future we fear, a past we can’t change. Overthinking says: “They didn’t say ‘I love you’ first today. Is something wrong?” “They laughed at someone’s joke too hard.” “Why didn’t they post a photo of us?” None of the...
