The project involves building a personal training exercise bot using Python, Zappa, AWS, and Twilio SMS. The bot aims to provide users with a workout plan each day, taking into account their preferences and providing a balanced routine. The development environment is set up with a virtual environment, AWS Lambda function, Flask session object, DynamoDB database, and Twilio package. The code defines a main function that handles incoming messages, builds a workout based on user input, and logs the workout in the DynamoDB database. The bot also includes features like conversation flow management, validation of workout progress, and deployment to AWS using Zappa.
