Inspiration

As an incoming college student, I have had a lot of difficulty with course selection. Severeal of my friends have expressed siilar woes. Wiht the endless amount of classes out there (and our endless desire to learn!). I wante d to create an AI powered tool to help us select a class that would best support our needs as students.

What it does

It scrapes course data from the MIT website and utilizes GPT 3.5 to match the best course with the user's input

How we built it

I used a web scraper to get the data and used gpt that is integrated with langchain to read saved csv data and analyze it. I used a GUI to allow the user to interact with the code.

Challenges we ran into

I had never web scraped from an HTML website and MITs website was structured terribly so it was sifficult.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

First ever AI powerd application!

What we learned
