# CyberMentor — AI Cybersecurity Companion

I built an AI cybersecurity companion for students — it scans suspicious links/emails and teaches through a teach-back quiz.

**Stack:** Python, Gemini, FastAPI  
**Date:** 2026  

## The Honest Part

I don't have git history yet, my institution dashboard shows placeholder stats I haven't backed with real data, and I left a live API key exposed in .env — I need to rotate that key before this goes anywhere near a public repo.

## Highlights

- Scans suspicious links and emails for phishing and malware indicators
- Teach-back quiz reinforces security concepts after each scan
