Introducing AI-Powered Project Matching for Better Volunteer Fit

# Introducing AI-Powered Project Matching

We're excited to announce a major platform update: intelligent project matching powered by Lovable AI.

## The Problem

Volunteers often struggled to find projects that matched their unique combination of skills, interests, and availability. NGOs sometimes received applications from volunteers who weren't the right fit.

## The Solution

Our new AI matching system analyzes:

- Your technical skills and expertise level
- Your stated interests and impact areas
- NGO project requirements and urgency
- Past successful volunteer-project pairings

Then it recommends the best matches for both volunteers and NGOs.

## How It Works

**For Volunteers:**
1. Complete your profile with skills and interests
2. Browse AI-recommended projects tailored to you
3. See match scores explaining why each project fits

**For NGOs:**
1. Post project requirements and impact goals
2. Receive ranked volunteer recommendations
3. Review volunteer fit before reaching out

## Early Results

In beta testing, we saw:
- 67% increase in successful project completions
- 45% reduction in time-to-match
- 92% volunteer satisfaction with recommendations

## What's Next

We're continuously improving the matching algorithm based on real outcomes. Your feedback helps us serve the community better.
