Abstract: SkillBridge is an AI-enabled skill exchange platform designed to connect individuals who want to learn new skills with those willing to teach them, creating a collaborative peer-to-peer learning ecosystem. The platform leverages artificial intelligence to analyze users’ skill profiles, interests, and learning goals, and then intelligently matches learners with suitable mentors or peers. Instead of relying solely on monetary transactions, SkillBridge encourages a skill-bartering model where users can exchange knowledge—for example, a user proficient in graphic design can teach design in exchange for learning coding or language skills. The AI system continuously improves recommendations by analyzing user interactions, feedback, and learning progress, ensuring more accurate and meaningful matches over time. The platform also includes features such as skill verification, reputation scores, scheduling tools, and progress tracking to enhance trust and efficiency. By democratizing access to knowledge and promoting collaborative learning, SkillBridge aims to bridge the gap between people with skills and those seeking them. This model supports lifelong learning, community engagement, and cost-effective education while empowering individuals to grow personally and professionally through mutual knowledge sharing.
