PersonaForge — Create Your AI-Powered Digital Identity Card

🪄 PersonaForge: AI-Powered Digital Identity Cards

PersonaForge is an innovative web application that allows users to create beautiful, personalized, and AI-driven digital identity cards.
Express your online personality by blending creativity and artificial intelligence to design a unique shareable card that represents you.

This project is built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Google's Genkit for AI generation — wrapped beautifully with ShadCN UI and Tailwind CSS.
