AI Bears Club

Inspiration

We wanted to make it easy for people to promote recycling. We turn their images of themselves recycling into AI generated art, mint them into NFTs, and allow them to share with their friends on social media! This sets off a chain reaction where their friends also wants their own custom AI generated NFTs, which they can get by recycling, showing proof, and incentivizing others. It sets off a viral recycling phenomenon.

What it does

1) Users take pictures of themselves doing something environmental, like recycling

2) We turn their images into generative AI art :)

3) We mint the generated collections into NFTs on Flow blockchain

4) Users can share their NFTs on social media. This a) promotes environmentalism b) incentivizes others to promote the environment because they also want cute NFTs

How we built it

AI engines: Adobe Firefly Image 2, OpenAI Dall-E 2 Python OpenAI SDK NextJS Flow CLI and Scaffolding Godaddy - aibears.club

Challenges we ran into

Windows laptop. Makes a lot of dev SDK instructions and examples not work, so we used Windows Linux Subsystem WSL

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Our first NFTs :)

What we learned

There are more than one way to solve problems. Like we had problems with wallet signing timeouts, but we switched to a local wallet system to decrease latency.
