Inspiration

Seeing outfits I want to purchase and browsing the internet to find each items I want for my outfit to be complete, only to find out that it doesn't ship to my country has always troubled me. Which is exactly why I've made Global Fit AI, to get rid of that gap!

What it does

Global Fit AI is an intelligent search engine that turns any outfit photo into actionable, globally shippable shopping links. It helps users find the items they want to buy by searching it on our search engine, reducing the time they spend trying to find the item they want on the internet!

How we built it

I was originally designing the website myself, but when it came to connecting the Gemini API with the search bar, I kept running into difficulties. So, I decided to switch to Google Studio AI and started building the rest of the website with Gemini which made it much more efficient and faster!

Challenges we ran into

The most challenging thing for me was the running of the Gemini API key in my browser without hitting the quota as I was using the Free Tier version. It was solved when I switched to build mode with Gemini. Another difficulty I faced was that the AI was unable to show the required images for the items, it couldn't fetch the exact item image which was very challenging for me to overcome since I value the UI output a lot as a Frontend Developer. In the end, I used an SVG shopping bag icon instead of the exact item images since it was not working out at all. I am satisfied with the outcome! As long as it isn't misdirecting to the users, I am content. There was a last problem that I faced, which was the image search. The Gemini API, as it was from Free Tier was unable to handle text search and image search at once. So, I looked for an alternative and incorporated an Open Router API key specifically for the image search. It was very accurate and satisfying!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am really proud of being able to bring my idea to life. I had thought that if such a search engine existed, online shopping would be much easier. I never imagined that I would be the one creating this! I'm really grateful for this Hackathon since it has allowed me to bring my idea out there in front of many talented individuals. If I had to be specific, then the image search is something I'm really proud of. I just love that many people including myself will be able to find our dream outfits easily by the image search functionality!

What we learned

I learned how I can make sure my API keys stay hidden and also that, as a developer it's really important to think out of the box and focus on what is lacking in our technologies so we can create new resources for multiple people across the world, making the internet a much better and efficient place!

What's next for Global Fit AI

If I get the opportunity, I would love to take this project forward and create region based research so people across the world can locate their desired items not only internationally, but also in their own countries!
