Sixteen-year-old Arjun, CTO of Pilot, rebuilt his portfolio using Antigravity, Google's AI-powered IDE. His old portfolio, running for two years, needed a refresh. The project, which included updating projects, design, and adding a RAG chatbot, was completed in just five days. The new site utilizes Next.js 16, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Framer Motion.

Arjun leveraged Antigravity to generate code and make updates, drastically reducing the time spent on the rebuild. The AI assisted with tasks such as modifying the `resume.tsx` file and markdown files for the chatbot. He also integrated a vector search using Vercel Postgres and pgvector to power a chatbot that answers questions about his projects.

The resulting portfolio features smooth animations, dark mode, and a guestbook. Arjun used Google's Gemini-3-flash for the AI components. This project highlights the potential of AI tools to streamline web development, allowing developers to focus more on design and functionality rather than tedious coding.

This project showcases how young developers are starting to use AI tools, like Antigravity, to boost their productivity. While the use of AI in coding is still in its early stages, tools like this could reshape how developers build and maintain their projects. It's an early example of how AI can be a powerful assistant, even for experienced developers.
