Molin is the Fiverr of AI tools.

Inspiration

  1. AI tools are getting really good in simple white-collar jobs
  2. There is not a single platform (like Fiverr or Canva) where people can easily access/use AI for all kinds of tasks
  3. All these models are typically only available in English

We started from these fundamentals and Molin had to solve the following problems:

  • Understand and create in many languages
  • Have all kinds of templates in 1 app
  • Amazing UX – minimum number of inputs to get amazing results

What it does

Molin is a single platform where anyone can use the best AI templates to create content 10x faster. Molin supports 9 languages for both input and output.

It can help you with all sorts of tasks in the following categories:

  • Audio/Video Transcription (AssemblyAI)
  • Ads
  • Blogging
  • Ecommerce
  • Emails
  • Content writing
  • Dating
  • Jobs
  • Education
  • Legal and Compliance
  • Marketing
  • Real estate
  • Social media
  • Youtube

How we built it

We built the frontend using React (MUI components). We have a serverless backend that runs on Cloudflare Workers, written in JavaScript. For authentication we used Stytch.

APIs:

  • Translation API (DeeplL) to translate text to English
  • GPT3 with our own prompts and settings
  • AssemblyAI's Speech-to-Text
  • Stripe (didn't manage to finish it)

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was definitely the prompt engineering part. GPT3 does unexpected things that are hard to measure. We spent a significant amount of time on the prompts for the templates.

Moreover, getting the translation to work so we could support multiple languages (our USP) was a complex task as we personally don't speak all the languages and took some time to understand the API.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

From the product perspective. The quality of the prompts is really good as Molin creates content just like a professional. In addition, Molin speaks all the languages just like a native speaker.

We're really proud of the fact that we worked together as a well-oiled machine. There were no big arguments which really show in the quality of the product. Best hackathon project we built so far!

What we learned

Ben: I got quite good in engineering prompts and also managed to work on my Spanish a little bit with all the translations. In addition, it's been a while since I worked with React, so it was good to refresh my memory.

Alex: My biggest challenge was developing for the Cloudflare Workers runtime. It’s got a different standard library compared to node.js and common browsers, so many npm modules don’t work. We had to either rewrite some dependencies or call the APIs directly.

What's next for Molin AI

The feedback for Molin is amazing. We'll fix some quick hacks and then release it to the public. The plan is to build Molin into an awesome product and take on Fiverr.
