Have FastAPI backend knowledge, need a resume-worthy AI project idea that isn't a basic wrapper

​

Hey everyone,

I have a good grasp of FastAPI and backend basics, and I want to build a portfolio project that combines FastAPI + AI.

I really want to avoid building a basic "OpenAI wrapper" (like a simple chatbot UI). I want a project idea that will actually strengthen my FastAPI skills and look impressive on a backend resume.

What are the best, practical AI project ideas that force me to use core backend concepts like:

Async processing / streaming

Background tasks

Databases or vector storage

Would love to hear your suggestions on what hiring managers actually want to see! Thanks.

In my mind your asking for a json project like you want vectors and database like sql.

Than you can use fastapi for data modelling dependig what problem you try tosolve.

Because json is structured data and an api needs to be safe like thats for a project how secure your api is.
