MyIdeas Backend

AI-powered Idea Management API

Overview

MyIdeas Backend is a modern REST API built with FastAPI that allows users to create, manage, and refine ideas using artificial intelligence.

Instead of simply storing ideas, the system enables users to interact with an AI assistant, discuss concepts, iterate on them, and only persist them when they are fully developed.

API Endpoints

Auth

POST /token
POST /auth/login
POST /auth/register
GET /auth/me

Users

POST /users/
GET /users/
GET /users/{user_id}

How It Works

User registers and logs in
Starts a chat session with the AI
Refines the idea through conversation
Saves the idea when ready
Manages ideas later

Why This Project Matters

This project goes beyond traditional CRUD systems by integrating AI into the idea creation workflow.

Users can think, iterate, and refine ideas before saving them — a process closer to real-world product development.
