What is HackGen?

As someone who has participated in quite a few hackathons (MariHacks is my 6th), I always struggle to find good ideas. HackGen is there to fix that. Just give this VS Code extension the challenge prompt, and it will generate five project ideas, each complete with a list of feature suggestions as well as pros and cons.

What is Alice in Climateland?

Alice in Climateland is a children's bedtime story generator using a fine-tuned GPT-3.5 Turbo.

Why two projects?

Alice in Climateland is a derivative of an idea generated by HackGen. The best way to prove HackGen is useful is by actually implementing one of its ideas. This is why my hackathon project is really just one single project with two sides: the generator and its result.

How I built it

HackGen is built with the VS Code extension API and Claude models.

Alice in Climateland is built using NextJS/React, shadcn UI and a fine-tuned GPT-3.5 Turbo model.

Both projects use LangChain as the backend LLM API.

Challenges I ran into

FINE TUNING! It is so much more complicated then I originally anticipated.

What's next for HackGen / Alice in Climateland

Maybe publishing HackGen on the VS Code extension marketplace? For Alice in Climateland, integrating it with AI art could make for some complete children's books.
