Inspiration

People are not aware about how much CO2 that they are emitting. They also have no incentive to track their emissions because it is a boring, tedious, and non-rewarding process.

What it does

CarbonOS is an AI-powered system that gamifies carbon emission tracking. It collaborates with local businesses to reward users for maintaining a low carbon footprint while supporting sustainable practices and a green economy.

How we built it

We used Tailwind CSS with a React + Vite framework, hosted on Vercel.

Challenges we ran into

This was our first hackathon so we struggled with time management and using different software platforms, such as Github and Claude API.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We learned how to deploy on Vercel and understood what constitutes a "good" product. We also learned progressive feature implementation and how to engage potential users.

What we learned

We learned how to vibecode and how to work as a team.

What's next for CarbonOS

A verification system so that users can't lie about their carbon footprint and an advertisement/marketing campaign to increase exposure. We'd also like to work with larger companies in the future to increase our impact and reach a wider audience.
