AI Prompt

Create a full-stack Expert Networking platform using Next.js 14 (App Router), Tailwind CSS, and Drizzle ORM with PostgreSQL. The app must include: 1. A multi-step onboarding process where users record audio clips processed by a mock AI API to extract skills. 2. A dashboard for users to manage their profiles and for clients to search experts using fuzzy search. 3. A database schema with tables for Users, Experts, Projects, and Transactions. 4. Secure API routes for CRUD operations on profiles and bookings. 5. A mock payment integration using Stripe logic to handle project payments. Use Lucide React for iconography, Shadcn UI for components, and ensure the folder structure follows the modular patterns for clean, scalable code. Implement Authentication using NextAuth with GitHub/Email providers.
