ArtConnect: Cloud-Based Artwork Sharing Platform with Rule-Based Chatbot Assistance

ArtConnect is a cloud application that enables the exchange of artworks and provides artists
with a tool for uploading, managing, and browsing their artworks online using a dynamic web interface.
Users can also add artworks to a cart and manage selected items for potential purchase. The server-side
is powered by Spring Boot, whereas the client-side leverages Thymeleaf along with HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript. The database management system is based on MongoDB Atlas, whereas Cloudinary provides
support for storing and delivering images. Rule-based chatbots developed using Flask enable users to
perform routine actions such as registration, logging in, uploading artworks, and exploring art galleries.
The application is deployed in the cloud using Render services.
