Inspiration : Campus students often face problems like losing items, reporting issues (WiFi, hostel, classroom), or finding basic campus information. Usually, these problems require contacting different departments, which is slow and inconvenient. We wanted to build a smart centralized system where students can easily report issues and get instant help using AI.
What it does : CU SmartDesk is an AI-powered campus helpdesk that allows students to:
Report lost items
Report found items
Submit campus complaints
Ask questions through an AI campus assistant
How we built it : We built the system using a combination of frontend and backend technologies:
Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript
Backend: Python Flask
AI Integration: Google Gemini API
Communication: REST API using JSON
Challenges we ran into : Some of the challenges we faced were:
Integrating the AI chatbot with the Flask backend
Handling API requests and responses correctly
Designing a clean and responsive UI
Managing form data submission between frontend and backend
