Human Assistance Logistics Operator

🚨 Inspiration

In a post-apocalyptic world, survival depends on more than instinct — it demands intelligence, adaptability, and connection. We envisioned an AI companion designed to assist survivors with logistics, communication, and decision-making when civilization has collapsed.

🧠 What We Learned

This project taught us how to:

Build voice-based AI interactions using Google Cloud utilizing Gemini Flash 2.0 and ElevenLabs
Use React-Leaflet and Leaflet-Draw to create interactive, survival-oriented maps
Balance personality-driven AI powered by both voice and image interactions
Structure trade/barter systems dynamically for player-driven economies

🛠️ How We Built It

We used:

React 19 + TypeScript for a responsive, type-safe frontend
ElevenLabs + Google Cloud to power real-time, emotional voice dialogue
React-Leaflet + Leaflet-Draw for map interaction and zone marking
**Node.js as the server

🧱 Challenges We Faced

Creating low-latency responses but challenges due to budget and API priority access.
Syncing up audio with the visual flashes for Morse Code
Creating a consistent navigation bar
Designing a barter system that adapts to resource scarcity dynamically
Integrating custom markers and zones on a map.
Crafting a believable AI companion with personality without breaking immersion
We tried to implement local Bluetooth connectivity between devices that are close in proximity but was unable to push forward due to time constraint.
