Inspiration

we wanted a tool that tells you where you could go, turning the linear prompt-by-prompt AI workflow into a visual branching experience.

What it does

Forkast takes any text input and generates multiple AI-predicted future directions simultaneously, letting users pick a branch, merge ideas from different paths, and watch their concept evolve as a growing visual tree.

How we built it

Built with Vue 3 + Vite on the frontend, an Express.js backend, and the Google Gemini API handling branch generation

Challenges we ran into

Hitting Gemini's free tier quota during testing blocked our entire team mid-build

Accomplishments that we're proud of

built and demoed in under 4 hours.

What we learned

never let two people touch the same file in a hackathon.

What's next for Forkast

A modular skills/plugin system with presets for diagramming, creative writing, and cold outreach
