Inspiration

A friend who seems to always have game ideas at the ready.

What it does

A user enters a prompt for a game idea. The prompt is fed to Gemini with references to skill and role collections to synchronize Gemini's output with the stored freelancers database. Lists of matching freelancers are returned organized by role and ordered by match score.

How we built it

Developed a FastAPI based backend. Connected it to a MongoDB Atlas database using Motor, and hooked up a connection to the Gemini API.

Challenges we ran into

Getting the Gemini API integration to function properly. Lots of debugging :). I also haven't learned much about frontend work yet, so I had to walk through every detail with Copilot to get it functional.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I could use my backend knowledge to understand what Copilot was suggesting and correct mistakes on the spot.

What we learned

The basics of how to use MongoDB Atlas and integrating a Gemini API key into a project. How to structure LLM output to compare against an existing database.
