    This project develops a system to automatically generate relevant questions from website content. The system scrapes links from a given website, retrieves the content, and creates concise questions related to each webpage. It also selects relevant links from the website and ensures each entry is validated for quality and accuracy. The results are saved in a structured JSON file for easy access and analysis.
