Inspiration
We wanted SMB's to take advantage of the big events in the Detroit while also knowing the weather and traffic data so they get largest exposure for their products.
What it does
Help SMBs decide when and how to plan their events in Detroit
How we built it
Backend hosted on railway and actions calls to our backend where we get weather, traffic, and events details for Detroit area. We use third-party apps like open weather map, TomTom for traffic, and Ticketmaster for events to get data for our users. No data from users are saved.
Challenges we ran into
Baking API's into actions so instead had to host the backend entirely and have the backend as the middle man between the custom gpt and third-party apis
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Proud it tells you how and when you can find the best time for your SMB's events to get the maximum exposure
What we learned
Actions are challenging if API's are not well documented Combining multiple real-time data sources into conversational responses
What's next for Detroit Pulse
Get more exposure for ourselves :)
