What it does

Lets users play Texas Hold’em in an interactive, gamified environment Analyzes decision-making patterns, risk appetite, patience, and emotional control during gameplay Maps playstyle to MBTI personality types automatically Generates a personalized “Ace Personality Wealth Report” Delivers tailored investment strategies and psychological guidance based on personality type Bridges poker behavior with real-world financial decision-making and wealth planning

How we built it

Client-Side (Browser): Built the interactive Texas Hold’em game interface using React Components, which handle user input, real-time gameplay rendering, and display of the final personality wealth report. Server-Side (Next.js): Used Next.js to manage backend logic, with Genkit Flows orchestrating the core workflow: capturing in-game behavioral data, generating structured prompts for the AI, and routing analysis results back to the frontend. AI Layer: Integrated the Gemini AI Model to analyze poker decision patterns (e.g., betting timing, risk choices, and fold/raise logic). The model maps these behaviors to MBTI personality traits and generates personalized investment insights. Data Flow: Implemented a bidirectional data pipeline where React Components trigger Server Actions to send gameplay data to Genkit Flows, which then prompts Gemini AI. The AI’s analysis is returned to the frontend to generate the final “Ace Personality Wealth Report.” Tech Stack: Combined React, Next.js, Genkit, and Gemini AI to create a seamless, real-time experience that merges gamification, behavioral analysis, and financial guidance.
