Inspiration In this modern world of technology, where AI is being taken over, and eco-friendliness is coming to a rise, we decided to make a model that combines both and makes it easy for online customers to be able to identify if the product they're buying is helping the environment or not.

What it does A tool that helps you find the perfect solution for both you and the planet, and rewards you for it! With one click, the extension pop-up automatically fetches and displays product information, eliminating the need for additional research.

How we built it We used React Framework (JavaScript) to implement the extension and search product information through scraping. The information includes ingredients, packaging, sustainable sourcing, etc. HTML and CSS were used to design the extension where users can see the product extracted information by using ChatGPT API.

Challenges we ran into We encountered issues with ChatGPT API Keys, where it said the number of requests have been exceeded within a certain amount of time.

Another encounter we faced is that the API key resets without notice, leading to debugging

Accomplishments that we're proud of We successfully incorporated the OpenAI API to assess product sustainability using defined parameters. In this modern world where every platform is integrating with AI, we are proud to make an AI integrated extension that is linked with Amazon website in which we have the ability to determine the ecofriendliness of the product by using multiple parameters.

What we learned We learned advanced concepts in React, creating Chrome extensions from scratch, how to use RESTful API's and how to integrate them.

What's next for EnviroEcomShoppers We want our integrated AI to target other E-commerce websites such as Alibaba, Walmart, and many more.
