+#### Enhancing Kai with Data Querying for Fine-Tuning and Potential InstructLab Integration
+
+- Description:
+  - Kai is a tool designed to leverage AI for application modernization by analyzing code, identifying issues, and suggesting fixes. We aim to enhance Kai by developing a robust data querying mechanism to facilitate fine-tuning processes. This enhancement will lay the groundwork for potential future integration with InstructLab, an open-source AI project enabling community contributions to Large Language Models (LLMs) by adding new skills or knowledge. The primary focus will be on creating mechanisms to query and utilize data effectively, with a stretch goal of integrating static analysis tools and implementing an agent-based workflow.
+  - This project will significantly enhance Kai’s backend, making it more scalable and capable of providing deeper code insights while also contributing to the enrichment of LLMs through InstructLab. It will offer a rich learning experience for participating students, covering backend development, workflow management, and contributing to open-source AI projects.
+
+- Expected Outcome:
+  - Successfully develop and implement a data querying mechanism in Kai to facilitate fine-tuning processes.
+  - Demonstrate the enhanced backend with improved data querying capabilities.
+  - Participate actively in community meetings, presenting progress and insights.
+  - Create a detailed blog post documenting the project, its outcomes, and potential future directions, including the possible integration with InstructLab.
+  - (Stretch Goal) Develop a reusable module for agent-based workflows into Kai, enhancing its ability to detect and report code issues.
+
+- Recommended Skills:
+  - Python
+  - Podman / Docker
+  - Basic Software Development skills (command line, git)
