Inspiration
Glerb was primarily inspired through exploring different use cases of AI in the context of human computer interaction. By providing users with an AI assistant taking multiple types of inputs, it was thought possible to provide people with a more interactive and powerful experience using AI.
What it does
The project provides users with a moving HUD that grants direct access to the OpenAI platform. Overall, Glerb allows users to easily take screenshots and receive contextual AI feedback on them with the help of a prompt.
How we built it
It was built using VS Code, Java, Swing, Maven, Canva, and several dependencies, libraries and API requests.
Challenges we ran into
Due to the nature of taking screenshots and using AI API keys, many of the development challenges of Glerb were related to computer security. For example, taking screenshots on a macbook required special screen recording privileges to be granted to the program. It was also decided that users would provide their own OpenAI API keys.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Proud to have submitted a working MVP and being part of this incredible experience!
What we learned
Technical skills (Java, Swing GUIs, Maven, OpenAI API) Artistic skills (Canva)
What's next for Glerb
Additional features, further enhancements, and hopefully open-sourcing!
