About this Project

This ASP.NET Core project minimizes the reliance on excessive if-else statements and multiple text boxes for user registration. Users can quickly sign up with just their name and phone number, followed by an OTP verification. By leveraging AI, we deliver a personalized and seamless experience throughout the process.

The best part is that if the user has to be authenticated through a head-less interface, powered by a mic, then this is going to be a very successful approach.
