Inspiration
I often faced disorganization and cognitive overload when juggling multiple commitments. Traditional calendar apps demanded manual entry of every detail, which felt tedious and unintuitive. Aura was inspired by the idea that time should adapt to people, not the other way around. I wanted to create a tool that felt natural — where jotting a note or speaking a reminder could instantly become a structured task.
What it does
Aura is a multimodal AI assistant that makes scheduling effortless.
- Add tasks via audio (voice) or post-it note (image).
- AI processes tasks locally (on-device) or in the cloud (Firebase AI Logic).
- Tasks are stored securely on-device.
- Conflicts are auto-resolved so your schedule stays smooth and productive.
How we built it
- Frontend: Web app with IndexedDB for local storage.
- AI Layer: Prompt API + Gemini Nano for on-device inference.
- Cloud Fallback: Firebase AI Logic ensures consistent performance across browsers.
- Task Handling: JSON-based structured output for dynamic UI rendering.
Challenges we ran into
- Designing seamless fallback logic between on-device and cloud AI.
- Building trustworthy conflict resolution that feels natural.
- Managing local storage performance with IndexedDB.
- Balancing simplicity of input with accuracy of scheduling.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Creating a hybrid AI architecture that adapts to different environments.
- Implementing autonomous conflict resolution that truly reduces cognitive load.
- Delivering a privacy-first design where tasks remain on-device.
- Building a tool that feels intuitive and human-centered.
What we learned
- The power of multimodal input in making apps more natural to use.
- How to integrate local and cloud AI for reliability.
- The importance of user trust in AI-driven decision-making.
- Practical lessons in IndexedDB and real-time task handling.
What's next for Aura's Time Flow
- Expanding to mobile platforms.
- Enhanced UI/UX for even smoother daily task management.
