🧠 Inspiration

What happens when we focus on simple ideas? They evolve into something big. You don’t always need to plan everything in detail — just be ready to explore, learn, and build. Small, thoughtful steps can lead to unexpected and meaningful outcomes.

💬 What It Does

  • Real-time chat application with an AI-powered assistant.
  • Users can ask for:
    • Live updates
    • Current news
    • Images, YouTube videos, and audio clips
  • The AI may also provide helpful links (hrefs) to explore more — all without leaving the chat interface.

⚙️ How We Built It

  • Started with an existing chat app that lacked real-time AI capabilities.
  • Integrated Sonar API to power the AI bot.
  • The AI responds with:
    • Citations
    • Media content (like videos and images)
    • Rich, informative messages that enhance the user experience

🧩 Challenges We Ran Into

  • We use Draft.js to render rich media content.
  • The Sonar API responses (data.choices[0].message.content) often include Draft.js rawContentState.
  • Parsing these responses safely was challenging — we had to extract valid JSON to avoid errors during JSON.parse.

🏆 Accomplishments that We're Proud Of

  • Created a powerful chat experience where:
    • Users can stay updated on current affairs, local/global events, and economic data (like GDP).
    • Data can be visualized and understood in context — all within a chat.
  • Helped users explore information without needing to switch apps or tabs.

📚 What We Learned

  • Focus and concentration are key to finishing meaningful work quickly.
  • Acting without thinking can lead to confusion and errors.
  • Being mindful during development helps avoid complications and increases efficiency.

🚀 What's Next for Ha-boliyein Chat App

  • Improve robustness and performance
  • Make the UI more intuitive and beginner-friendly
  • Add more smart features to enhance content understanding and interaction
