📖 About the Project

LearnPath is a single, unified course marketplace — similar in concept to Udemy or Coursera — where:

• Instructors create an account, publish courses, and manage their own listings.
• Students create an account, browse/search/filter courses, view detailed course pages, and enroll.
• AI features are woven directly into the platform to make course discovery and learning support smarter and more personal.
