Inspiration
Ai generated childrens' books were in many peoples' eyes not the greatest application of ai. But dismissing a technology entirely is not the way my team and I go by. We found a way to fuse the best of both worlds, the human creativity and ai's capabilities of creation.
What it does
Our app offers the creation of short stories and tales that can be created entirely without ai but can also be complemented by ai piece by piece.
How we built it
We used Github Copilot Cli using the Gemini 3 Pro model to catch nasty bugs and help us tackle difficult coding challenges. We also used Xcode to develop a native, intuitive user interface, containerised our main backend (fairydraw-api) using Docker and integrated Redis with Memorystore. We used LiveKit with Gemini LiveApi for real-time voice features. For backend development we used Antigravity.
Challenges we ran into
Nondeterminism of ai proved to be quite the challenge in this particular project. Also learning how to use Google Cloud was very difficult as we had no prior experience.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Realising a new and innovative solution the problem statement while learning a lot on the way there.
What we learned
We learned how to leverage the power of ai agents and their development with Google LiveApi. We also learned how to build an automated Ci/CD pipeline for hosting on Google Cloud.
What's next for Fairydraw
Further development and possible deployment to the Apple Store and upon positive feedback expanding to the android platform.
