Inspiration
Living in a very technologically restricted household, misunderstandings around technology happened all the time. BrightFeed aims to change that by providing a tool for parents to see if a website is safe.
What it does
BrightFeed takes a subreddit name or YouTube video link as input, as well as a selection of what to check for on the website. AI determines if the subreddit or video contains that type of content and outputs its decision, as well as instances of the content if any. It can then take input for a password and check if it is correct.
How we built it
We used HTML and JavaScript to create the webpage and its functionality and used Python to run through AI and return a text output.
Challenges we ran into
We were using technology that we are not particularly familiar with like HTML, JavaScript, Git and GitHub, AI, and website APIs. We had many technical issues to overcome but we ultimately made a working product.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were able to successfully make our product despite our lack of experience, knowledge, and planning. We learned a lot about coding languages and software that we were unfamiliar with and made it all work together.
What we learned
We learned a lot about software we were unfamiliar with. We also learned a lot about teamwork, our strengths and weaknesses regarding technology, and about the capability and useability of AI.
What's next for BrightFeed
The next stage for BrightFeed is a Chrome extension that blocks access to websites until verified using a password. The extension would save website URLs that were verified so that they could be accessed in the future. The extension would work on any website with text instead of just Reddit and YouTube.
