Inspiration

I wanted my security tool to be memorable. If someone remembers the CyberCrone's cackle when they see a brute-force attempt, they might actually check the logs instead of clicking "acknowledge all." The core idea: make security advice stick by wrapping it in a character. Ancient wisdom meets modern CVEs. Divination meets digital forensics.

What it does

The core loop: User describes a behavior or asks a question → CyberCrone assesses it → delivers a verdict with flavor -> Kraken puts in a last word at the end.

How we built it

I started with a requirements document and three AI-generated character images. MeDo generated the full app —layout, animations, tier badge system, staggered reveal sequence, and error handling — from a series of natural language prompts. I guided the build interactively: adjusting the loading sequence text, refining the Kraken's animation states, and wiring in the API integration.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge is that I know very little about UI design and how to get the sequence to look the way I want it too. I couldn't have created this app without MeDo, it was really great at making the changes I asked for so that the end result matched what I imagined.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

API Integration: The app calls a live self-hosted API (Grimoire) for every query. Grimoire is a security RAG system over MITRE ATT&CK and NVD CVE data, so the CyberCrone isn't making things up — she's consulting a knowledge base of actual vulnerabilities and techniques. The API response is classified into four severity tiers, rewritten in the CyberCrone's voice, and delivered with a contextual Kraken reaction.

The Most Impressive Feature MeDo Generated:

The staggered verdict reveal. When you submit a query, the app doesn't just dump text. It cycles through    atmospheric loading lines ("The runes are compiling..."), then reveals the verdict badge with a dramatic glow, pauses for comedic timing, fades in the assessment, pauses again, delivers the directive, and finally activates  the Kraken panel for closing commentary. It's performative UI that transforms a boring API response into a  theatrical experience — and MeDo built all the animation timing and state transitions from description.

What's next for CyberCrone Oracle

I'd like to have it return sources for it's evaluation. Not in the main section, but as a button on the side so that the user could go to the source and learn more about whatever cybersecurity issue they've run into. It would also be fun to have a Quiz mode where you answer the questions the Oracle asks and the Kraken puts in a sarcastic word here and there.
