The inspiration behind GenTube was the growing demand for high-quality, engaging video content in today’s digital world. We realized that many people, especially small businesses and creators, struggle with the technical skills or time required to produce professional videos. Our goal was to simplify the video creation process by leveraging the power of AI.

What We Learned

Throughout the development process, we learned:

  • How to integrate AI models into a mobile application using React Native for a seamless user experience.
  • The importance of optimizing Flask backend performance to handle video generation tasks efficiently.
  • Challenges of rendering and processing media files across different devices and platforms.

How We Built It

  • Frontend: Built using React Native, ensuring cross-platform compatibility for both iOS and Android.
  • Backend: Powered by Flask, handling AI video generation requests, user data, and media processing.
  • AI Models: Leveraged pre-trained models Gemini for video title and description generation
  • Storage & Delivery: Implemented cloud-based storage cloudinary for fast and secure video access.

Challenges We Faced

  1. AI Integration: Adapting AI models to run efficiently on a mobile-first architecture.
  2. Performance Optimization: Ensuring smooth performance and quick video generation despite large file sizes.
  3. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Addressing device-specific issues to deliver a consistent experience.
