The Fellows Hub Evolution 🛠️

The Fellows Hub is the engine behind our program, a centralized Databricks app designed to streamline workflows that enable Bricksters to answer questions in our forums and get rewards. Huge shout-out to Mitchell Grewer for architecting the all-new version: a UX and feature upgrade built for the next level of expertise.

Built for Speed: Re-engineered on React + FastAPI for a lightning-fast, responsive experience.
CORA 2.0: Evolved into a full multi-agent system, fusing RAG-based community intelligence with live SQL analytics for sharper insights.
AI-Powered Personalization: Custom-tailored features to help you navigate and solve complex technical challenges with precision.

The legacy hub isn't going away yet, but the new hub is where the innovation lives. 🚀
