Inspiration
Wanted to find a top down approach instead of a bottom up approach to being at the frontier of a certain field.
What it does
Leverages small llm summarizers, perplexity api for comparison, and web scrapers to current examples of people that made their way in their career and shapes a path.
How we built it
Used backend scripts to scrape names off of webpages that show famous people in the field (used a NER (name entity recognizer)) and then found their wikipedia pages and summarized it.
Challenges we ran into
Displaying the information and linking the front end and the backend. Also figuring out specifically how to get all the names in a reliable fashion.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Came together to build a cool project that still needs some work.
What we learned
Planning is crucial and getting a running product up early to go back and refactor,
