Inspiration
Two years ago, Dino was hooked on transit and traffic monitoring, and having an AI chatbot displaying that information flew out of his mind.
What it does
Displays public transit information (departures, lines, alerts or disruptions) and current traffic incidents.
How we built it
The Hackers of the East Bay used Python for coding, Streamlit for displaying the UI for the chatbot, 511 information APIs for displaying public transit and traffic incident data, and Groq for fetching the data from the helper functions that gather the 511 data.
Challenges we ran into
Initially, the Hackers of the East Bay ran into a big problem connecting the real-time data to the Groq AI chatbot.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Despite facing those problems, Dino solved most of the issues on how to connect the real-time data to the app and integrate the chatbot in Streamlit.
What we learned
The Hackers of the East bay learned the use of Groq APIs and how to use API calls. Also, they also learned how to connect those two things they learned into one.
What's next for Hackers Of The East Bay: HackHayward Transit AI Chatbot
The Hackers of the East Bay will make any bug fixes and improvements after the event. They will also state that they're chatbot is under development.
