Inspiration

The inspiration for Eikon came after reading Nikola Tesla's autobiography in which he explained that a lot of the scientific achievements he had came down to his innate ability to visualise things perfectly.

What it does

Eikon helps you train your mind with simple tasks. The goal is to start with small things and visualise them as good as possible. It is science-backed by a research I did on Elicit.org

How we built it

Since I wasn't aware of the capabilities of MeDo, I was not sure how good the model would be for building full-stack apps. When I had a look at the previous projects, I saw that most projects were mostly micro-saas with one specific purpose. I inferred that the project could only be an MVP. Before using MeDo, i used style references and a prompt that laid out what MeDo had to do and build. Afterwards, I iterated over a few days since I burned my credits pretty fast.

Challenges we ran into

MeDo seems sometimes to have taken my prompt not literally, This has been an issue when I designed the workflow of the app -> led me to rather slow development since I was not sure how to tweak my prompts so that MeDo understood what to do.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Since this is my first submission to any hackathon, I am quite happy that I have built an app that I would personally use to mimic the intelligence of Nikola Tesla.

What we learned

Certain prompt techniques do not work for all models and I need to spend more time understanding the architecture of the projects on MeDo. I think it would have saved me a lot of time to see the capabilities of MeDo without bruning through my tokens.

What's next for Eikon

I think an iOS app submission with an iterated design is something that I could build upon.
